On the April 2 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Children of the Rooftop Room (shortened to Okmuna), performers explored the food story of the ‘White Rice Master’ through a vibrant segment.
Park Eun-young’s Rapidly Popular Eatery
MZ generation star and ‘central figure’ Park Eun-young appeared alongside ‘aggressive’ performer Kim Si-hyun. Park quipped, ‘This feels just like something I’d do after launching my own spot.’
Her restaurant books out in roughly one minute. Park affirmed, ‘Opening it matched my style perfectly—it’s the right call.’
Responding to queries about her assurance, she stated, ‘Plenty of options suit my passion. I enjoy experimenting with ingredients my way.’
Performers React to the Buzz
Kim Sook noted, ‘Payday brings a scary rush.’ Park clarified, ‘Rice cake packs offer eight servings.’
Nevertheless, reservations fly—Kim Si-hyun revealed, ‘The app handles eightfold demand. Over 1,500 users flooded in on opening day.’
MCs probed, ‘Do you scout rival spots when launching? It must be nerve-wracking.’ Park replied, ‘Absolutely tense. Sharing with past presidents and current stars, I pitch it as a bestseller—they react strongly.’
Ssung’s Double Surprise
The cast grilled Ssung, the ‘Ssung’ performer, on the menu. Though he fumbled words toward Park, her venue drew praise.
Park reflected, ‘Many now envy it, which feels rewarding.’
Ssung showed double astonishment at the reveal, flashing a thumbs-up. Park added, ‘Not overly skilled myself. Performers bear pressure to excel, yet side gigs help many; failing that suits some fine.’
