Live Cooking with Professional Chef and MC Guidance... Exciting Plans Including Rap Performances and Prize Recommendations

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) announced that the cultural event for out-of-school youth, "Youth Kkumdeulme Restaurant," was held on the 14th at the Dongdaemun-gu Youth Support Center Kkumdeulme.

At noon on the 14th, as the chef, youth panel, and professional MC standing in front of the camera at the youth-only space "Ajit" of the Dongdaemun-gu Youth Support Center began cooking, a mouthwatering aroma spread. The cultural event for out-of-school youth, Youth Kkumdeulme Restaurant, was held.

Youth Kkumdeulme Restaurant is an interactive cooking broadcast program where out-of-school youth and their families cook together at home by following the chef’s instructions in real-time while watching a live broadcast using cooking ingredients delivered in advance.

Last year, the Dongdaemun-gu cultural event for out-of-school youth was held for the first time as a youth entrepreneur training course to help youth explore career paths, but this year it was planned as an online real-time cooking program for out-of-school youth and their families exhausted by COVID-19 in daily life.

On this day, the main chef, youth panel, and professional MC communicated in real-time via YouTube streaming and ZOOM while making pork neck steak.

Additionally, during the event, the Dongdaemun-gu Youth Support Center music club "Sinseoldong Station Exit 10" performed an exciting rap show, adding to the enjoyment. Participants who sent photos of their completed dishes received gift certificates through real-time prize draws, gaining enthusiastic responses from the youth.

One youth participant said, "I watched a live cooking broadcast on TV, but participating directly was even more enjoyable. Especially, cooking with the kit prepared by the Youth Support Center was not only convenient but also delicious, creating good memories with my family."

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said in a congratulatory video, "Although it is unfortunate that we cannot meet the youth in person due to COVID-19, I hope this online event will become a new opportunity for communication in the COVID era, and that everyone will have a meaningful time cooking with their families at home."
