Yoon Si-yoon showcased fluent Japanese, attracting attention. Recently aired on tvN's 'World Food Challenge: President Baek 3', the challenge of 'Surviving in a Billion City' began in Lyon, France, with Baek Jong-won, Lee Jung-woo, Girls' Generation's Yuri, John Park, and Yoon Si-yoon. Lee Jung-woo, Yuri, and John Park all have experience working with Baek Jong-won, while Yoon Si-yoon is a newcomer. Yoon Si-yoon stated, 'Jung-woo was boasting a lot,' revealing that he and Lee Jung-woo are close friends born in '86 who enjoy eating delicious food together. He continued that while filming the drama 'Bread, Love and Dreams', he learned the basics to ensure his dough-kneading looked natural, showing confidence in cooking. Baek Jong-won challenged them in a city where they must achieve annual sales of 1 billion won (about 1 million USD) with Korean cuisine and Korean-style service. They decided to provide a close-up service, explaining the order of eating while grilling pork belly with various ingredients, similar to how staff grill meat for customers in Korean restaurants. While John Park, an experienced server, showed pressure, beginner Yoon Si-yoon expressed his eagerness, saying, 'Why are you frozen? I will become an orangutan,' showing his willingness to communicate through body language if words failed. However, Yoon Si-yoon quickly reached for Baek Jong-won's knife and made a mistake, peeling garlic with a knife prepared for deboning pork. Yoon Si-yoon panicked, saying, 'No wonder the knife looked strange. I thought it was cool,' and when Yuri asked, 'Did you choose a cool one?' he joked, 'Yes, the coolest one. I must have the blood of a butcher flowing in me.' Despite starting with failures, Yoon Si-yoon soon showcased his contrasting charm with fluent Japanese. When Japanese customers showed interest in Korean cuisine, he quickly spoke to them in Japanese, successfully drawing them into the restaurant. His ability to communicate smoothly with customers at a serviceable level of Japanese drew admiration.
