Five Guys held preliminary rounds among store employees who applied, and the final winner was decided in the finals held on the 12th.

The game consisted of three categories: the 'Potato Race,' where participants quickly and accurately cut a 20kg sack of potatoes; the 'Cheese Race,' where 40 slices of clumped cheese had to be stacked one by one without tearing; and the 'Quality Control Race,' where one burger and one hot dog had to be dressed accurately and packed quickly. Kim recorded a total time of 3 minutes and 3.59 seconds across the three categories, winning by a 15-second margin over the second place.

Kim will attend the Five Guys Global Convention held in February next year. The Five Guys Global Convention is a global event held every two years, inviting operators worldwide to share business achievements. At this event, winners of the Five Guys Game selected by country and continent compete once again to determine the final champion. The event has been held 20 times so far. The global championship prize money was $50,000 as of 2021.

Kim said, "My on-site experience of cooking in various ways reflecting customer preferences was a great help," adding, "It was a good opportunity to check each person's cooking skills while boosting morale."
