Franchise

[edit | edit source]

Youn's Kitchen has produced three spin-offs: Youn's Stay (2021), Jinny's Kitchen (2023–), Jinny's Kitchen: Team Building (2023).

While the first spin-off is a result of an unanticipated change of format due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[8] all spin-offs starting from Jinny's Kitchen have been developed with the goal of forming a franchise.

Youn's Stay

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Youn's Stay

While the initial plan was to produce the third season of Youn's Kitchen, the cast and crew weren't able to travel abroad due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and shutdown in 2020. Instead of opening a small Korean restaurant overseas, the production choose to open a traditional hanok guest house in South Jeolla Province in Korea to share part of the Korean culture to the guests who were mainly foreigners.[8]

In December 2020, the new season is renamed "Youn's Stay" to reflect the change of format.[9] The show premiered on tvN on January 8, 2021.[10]

The reality TV show stars original Youn's Kitchen cast members Youn Yuh-jung as the owner and CEO, Lee Seo-jin as the Vice President, Jung Yu-mi and Park Seo-joon as managers.[11] Actor Choi Woo-shik[11] also joined as the new intern of the hotel. He starred in Summer Vacation alongside Jung Yu-mi earlier in the year[12] and is known for the highly awarded movie Parasite in which actor Park Seo-joon also played.

Early 2023, a second spin-off series is announced. The original cast of Youn's Stay-minus Youn Yuh-jung-is back, with Lee Seo-jin as the new owner whose philosophy is all about revenue.[13]

Singer V of BTS joined the cast in season 1[14] and is replaced by actress Go Min-si for season 2.[15]
