[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Baek Jong-won and the cast of 'Delicious Rendezvous' delivered lunchboxes to elderly people living alone.

In the SBS variety show 'Delicious Rendezvous' aired on the 30th, Baek Jong-won, Kim Hee-chul, Yang Se-hyung, Kim Dong-jun, and Yoo Byung-jae appeared and were shown preparing and delivering lunchboxes directly to elderly people living alone in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province.

On the broadcast, Baek Jong-won said, "There are many elderly people living alone in Yeoju, but due to COVID-19, meal services have been suspended, causing difficulties. Since we're here, let's make lunchboxes and deliver them."

In response, Yang Se-hyung expressed anticipation, saying, "We will pack the lunchboxes ourselves and even deliver them personally."

Baek Jong-won said, "I've done all sorts of things with food. When I ran a barbecue restaurant, I also delivered lunchboxes in the evening."

When Yang Se-hyung asked, "Do you have any past experiences you'd rather not bring up?" Baek Jong-won replied, "There's really nothing to be ashamed of."

Before preparing the lunchboxes, Baek Jong-won said, "I want to fill each compartment with two or three side dishes so it feels packed," adding, "Let's make really hearty lunchboxes."

He continued, "We need to prepare 11 side dishes, from Vienna sausages to braised pork shank," urging the team.

Hearing this, Yang Se-hyung said, "I forgot what you said after the sausages," and Kim Hee-chul also joked, "Should we go to a convenience store and buy some now?" causing laughter.

The cast made 11 dishes including Vienna sausages and stir-fried garlic scapes within two hours and personally delivered the lunchboxes to the homes of elderly people living alone.

After completing the delivery, the cast shared their thoughts, saying, "It wasn't just a simple lunchbox delivery; it felt like we did something truly important."
