Byung-hyun Kim has received a massive order to exclusively supply 30,000 sausages and pork knuckles for the inaugural Oktoberfest Seoul, marking a potential turning point after 11 previous business failures. To ensure success, Kim has enlisted Lee Bong-won to help develop a fusion menu that must pass a rigorous tasting by world-class chefs.
After facing 11 business failures, Byung-hyun Kim has secured an exclusive contract to supply 30,000 sausages and pork knuckles for the first Oktoberfest Seoul. Kim and Lee Bong-won will attempt to pass a judging process led by Michelin 3-star chefs to prepare a special menu for the festival.
In the upcoming episode of SBS ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny’ (hereafter ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams 2’), airing Tuesday the 27th, the story of the ‘Mangjo Club’ duo Lee Bong-won and Byung-hyun Kim will be revealed as they unite for a new challenge.
Byung-hyun Kim, who has recently experienced 11 business failures, has received a massive call from Germany. He has secured an exclusive contract to supply 30,000 sausages and pork knuckles for ‘Oktoberfest Seoul,’ a world-class beer festival being held in Korea for the first time. To prepare this record-breaking volume without error, Kim visited a factory to meticulously inspect everything from the taste and texture of the finished sausages to the condition of the pork knuckles. Expressing his solemn determination, Kim stated, “The survival of the company is at stake,” raising curiosity about whether he can use this opportunity to achieve his dream of global expansion.
To develop a special menu for the festival, Kim reached out to Lee Bong-won, with whom he formed a bond through the ‘Mangjo Club.’ During a previous meeting, the two had teamed up as ‘Jensen Bong-Byung Jae-yong’ to present fusion dishes combining sausages and Chinese cuisine. Lee Bong-won, who rushed to assist, also expressed high expectations for the global expansion. However, the menu must first pass a judging process. Tension rose as the judging panel included chefs with backgrounds including Michelin 3-star experience and a chef from Germany who previously served as a general manager for FC Basel. It is reported that the scene was filled with a tense atmosphere due to the sharp gazes and evaluations of the chefs. Attention is focused on whether the dish, which carries the pride of Chinese cuisine master Lee Bong-won, can capture the palates of these world-class chefs.
Meanwhile, a special guest personally recruited by Byung-hyun Kim appeared at the site of the newly launched ‘Oktoberfest Seoul,’ surprising everyone. It is reported that the top-tier guests Kim invited heated up the scene by performing a surprise event in front of thousands of spectators for promotion. The identity of the surprise guests and the journey of Byung-hyun Kim and his reliable supporter Lee Bong-won as they take on the ‘Oktoberfest Seoul’ challenge can be seen on SBS ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams 2,’ airing Tuesday the 27th at 10:40 PM.
