tvN is set to debut a unique spin-off show, ‘Kongkong Bab Bab’, blending humor, food, and camaraderie. Launching on January 9, 2025, at 8:40 PM, the show brings together Lee Kwang-soo and Do Kyung-soo as they tackle running a cafeteria. Fans can also catch the full episode on YouTube’s Channel 15ya the following day at 6 PM.
A New Flavor of Entertainment
‘Kongkong Bab Bab’ is a spin-off of the hit series ‘Sowing Beans Gives Beans, Eating Red Beans Gives Red Beans.’ While the original show focused on farming, this iteration centers on the duo managing a cafeteria for the production crew of Eggs Coming. Their mission? To provide satisfying meals and plenty of laughs.
The show’s teaser poster already has fans intrigued. It features Kwang-soo and Kyung-soo flashing warm smiles, embodying the spirit of their in-house restaurant, KKPP Food. Beyond managing the cafeteria, the two handle menu planning, cooking, and even naming dishes, creating a personal and relatable touch.
Duo Dynamics in the Kitchen
Lee Kwang-soo, serving as CEO, oversees customer service and supports cooking. His comedic flair shines through his interactions, adding levity to the challenges of running a busy kitchen.
Do Kyung-soo, a skilled nutritionist and chef, takes charge of cooking, ensuring the meals are both delicious and nutritious. His expertise in large-scale cooking promises an exciting culinary showcase. For fans of Kyung-soo, this role highlights a new side of him that is rarely seen on television.
In the teaser, their chemistry comes alive. From lighthearted arguments to playful banter, the two keep the energy high. One moment shows Kyung-soo discovering a messy sink, humorously scolding Kwang-soo to clean it. Another has Kwang-soo jokingly grabbing Kyung-soo’s collar in mock frustration.
Potatoes and Curiosity
The teaser also gives a glimpse of the show’s culinary theme. Piles of freshly sourced potatoes hint at creative and hearty dishes. The duo’s choice to include this staple ingredient adds an element of curiosity about how they’ll transform it into meals that satisfy the staff.
What to Expect
The combination of heartfelt cooking and genuine friendship is the heart of ‘Kongkong Bab Bab.’ Viewers can look forward to a mix of culinary creativity, funny moments, and authentic teamwork. With PD Na Young-seok’s expertise at the helm, the show promises a blend of humor and warmth, making it a must-watch for food and variety show enthusiasts alike.
