Kim Jaejoong (김재중,キム・ジェジュン) proudly showcased his close friendship with Im Siwan (임시완,イム・シワン) .

In the upcoming episode of KBS 2TV's "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant(신상출시 편스토랑)" (airing at 8:30 PM on May 24th), the special bond between Kim Jaejoong and his friend of ten years, Im Siwan, will be revealed.

After returning from a busy overseas schedule, Kim Jaejoong enjoyed a well-deserved rest at home. However, his rest was far from idle. He spent his day unpacking his luggage and cooking Korean dishes he had been craving for the past two weeks. Growing up with a mother who ran a restaurant, Kim Jaejoong naturally developed impressive cooking skills, much to the admiration of viewers.

Sitting at a table adorned with a large snake illustration, Kim Jaejoong began his solo meal. Despite his happiness and hearty appetite, he soon sighed deeply and exclaimed, "Can someone please come and eat with me?" This humorous moment led him to scroll through his phone and make a call. The person on the other end, his close friend Im Siwan, answered warmly. The two have maintained a strong friendship since co-starring in the 2014 drama "Triangle."

Effortlessly slipping into their native Chungcheong dialect, the conversation between Kim Jaejoong, who hails from Gongju in South Chungcheong Province, and Im Siwan, who recently gained attention for his flawless dialect in the popular drama "Summer Strike," turned into a comedic dialect showdown. Kim Jaejoong proudly emphasized that even within Chungcheong, the dialects differ, showcasing his hometown pride.

The episode also dives into their cherished memories. Im Siwan reminisced about a visit to Kim Jaejoong's home in Japan, recalling the delicious doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) Kim Jaejoong had prepared. The revelation of Kim Jaejoong's secret ingredient left Im Siwan in shock, adding to the intrigue.

Furthermore, Im Siwan suggested a cooking competition after hearing that Kim Jaejoong was making ojingeo samgyeopsal bokkeum (stir-fried squid and pork belly). Kim Jaejoong, amused and pleased, responded, "You're the first person to challenge me to a cooking duel!" He added, "Im Siwan is truly passionate about cooking."

Tune in to "New Release, Pyeonstorang" to witness the heartwarming and humorous moments between Kim Jaejoong and Im Siwan as they celebrate their enduring friendship through food and laughter.
