On the 24th, Jin shared an article related to Kim's statement on his Facebook and said, "I also did the cooking myself, but isn't it better than doing the dishes?"
The 7-hour phone call transcript, jointly released on the 23rd by Seoul Voice and Open Sympathy TV, included a conversation where Kim told a reporter from Seoul Voice, "I don't cook at all; my husband does everything," referring to candidate Yoon. Kim also mentioned hearing from a monk that "Kim Gun-hee is completely masculine, and Seok-yeol is feminine."
Meanwhile, candidate Yoon has shown a domestic side by showcasing his cooking skills through broadcasts. On his official YouTube channel 'Seokyeol's House Meals,' he personally cooked dishes such as pasta and kimchi fried rice. In September last year, on SBS variety show 'Master in the House,' he invited the cast to his home and served rolled omelet, kimchi stew, and bulgogi.
In his YouTube broadcasts, Yoon expressed confidence in his cooking, saying, "My cooking is simple, made easily with few ingredients. I try to make it almost the same as what you eat at home."
