At a press conference in Seoul on November 25, Eun Ji-won and Kyuhyun spoke openly about the upcoming Netflix release of their new variety show, Three Meals in Kenya. The series is a twist on the popular Three Meals a Day formula, relocating the cast to the heart of Kenya for a challenging outdoor cooking and survival experience.
Eun Ji-won expressed his mixed emotions about the show being hosted on a global platform like Netflix. “To be honest, the pressure has gotten heavier,” he said. “I’m also a bit concerned whether international viewers will get our Korean wordplay and humor.” His co-star Kyuhyun added, “It’s exciting and nerve-wracking. We wanted to remain authentic while hoping our global audience connects with us.”
Why it matters
The shift to Netflix marks a major step for Korean variety shows aiming to reach worldwide audiences. As more K-content goes global, stars like Eun Ji-won and Kyuhyun are becoming conscious of how their humor, culture, and personalities are perceived beyond Korea.
