Park Seo-joon will join the cast of “Youn’s Kitchen” for the show’s upcoming second season.

The first season of the reality show featured actors Youn Yuh-jung, Shin Goo, Lee Seo-jin and Jung Yu-mi. However, Shin will not be able to join the second season of the show due to the overseas performance of his play.

To substitute for Shin, who appeared as a server at the restaurant on the show, Park will join “Youn’s Kitchen” as an intern server.

According to the production team, Park worked part-time as a server at a restaurant for eight months before his acting debut, which proved a crucial reason for the production team to cast him.

“When we met Park Seo-joon in person, he knew the basic operation of a restaurant and also had excellent sense. We thought he could work as a one-size-fits-all kind of worker who can work not only as a server but also as a chef assistant,” said Lee Jin-joo, the producer of the show.

“Youn’s Kitchen” shows the cast, headed by actress Youn, opening a small Korean restaurant on an island. The first season of the show drew 14.7 percent viewership ratings at its peak.
