[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Chef Lee Yeonbok delivered lunch boxes to public health center staff who are helping treat COVID-19.

On the 26th, MBN's 'Earth Defense Force' aired a segment showing Kim Gura, Kim Hyungjun, Jeon Jin, and Heo Kyunghwan volunteering to deliver lunch boxes for COVID-19 medical personnel. Chef Lee Yeonbok appeared as a special helper.

The harsh conditions faced by the public health center staff shocked the 'Earth Defense Force' members and Chef Lee Yeonbok. On that day, three COVID-19 cases were confirmed in Dongdaemun-gu, leading to a nonstop influx of inquiry calls. In response, Kim Gura proposed, "We will deliver lunch boxes for the public health center staff."

Chef Lee Yeonbok personally took the lead and, together with junior chefs, prepared and delivered lunch boxes containing gunmandu (fried dumplings), mapo tofu rice bowls, and menbosha (fried shrimp toast). The public health center staff expressed their gratitude, saying, "When we are busy, we can't even go eat. There is no staff for shift changes. We order kimbap and eat it whenever we get a chance," adding, "Today, it seems we won't have to skip meals."
