[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Singer Soyou showcased her cooking skills on 'Delicious Rendezvous'.

On the 7th, SBS entertainment program 'Delicious Rendezvous' aired scenes of Baek Jong-won and the NongVengers members making various dishes with Gunsan jjukkumi (webfoot octopus).

That day, the NongVengers members prepared for the Gunsan gourmet meeting. Soyou took on a supporting role alongside Kim Dong-jun for Baek Jong-won. Soyou said, "It would be good to chop the onions and green onions in advance to make cooking easier later," and demonstrated flawless and refreshing knife skills while preparing the vegetables.

Baek Jong-won, who was nearby, praised Soyou's knife skills, saying, "Well done." Then Soyou began cleaning the jjukkumi and completed the preparation perfectly with swift and confident hand movements.

Soyou also presented jjukkumi stew to the gourmet panel. Those who tasted it showered praise, saying, "It's just the right taste for a hangover cure," and "I keep reaching for more."

After the gourmet panel left, Soyou immediately started cleaning the kitchen. She began washing dishes alone and attracted attention with her spotless and thorough cleanup.

Seeing this, Kim Hee-chul pointed to the dishwasher and said, "If you put it in here, it's all good," to which Soyou replied, "Was there something like this? Why was I washing dishes then?" causing laughter.

Baek Jong-won, impressed by Soyou's diligent attitude that day, praised her, saying, "Soyou could run a restaurant."
