On O'live's 'Master Chef Korea', which is set to air its first broadcast on April 27th, an idol group trainee who dreams of becoming a "cooking idol" will appear.

Oh Jong Suk is 21 years old and known as the "Cooking Rapper" on the show. He is currently a trainee under SidusHQ, and is set to debut under a 4-5 member group. He�was born in the U.S. and has lived in South Korea for the past eight years. He possesses skills in not only rapping, singing, and dancing, but apparently, cooking as well.

Although most hopeful singers enter singing audition programs to fulfill their dreams, Oh Jung Suk chose to enter into a cooking survival program, which captured the interest of netizens.

While wearing his father's uniform during the show, Oh Jong Suk revealed, "When I was going through a rough time, my father taught me how to cook. Cooking helped me to get through my hardships." Oh Jung Suk also showed his self-produced rap and song dedicated to his father in front of the panel.

In response to the judges' concerns, Oh Jong Suk stated, "I love cooking as much as I love music. I want to win and open up a restaurant for my father. If I get accepted, I will inform my company CEO to delay my debut so that I can focus on cooking."

'Master Chef Korea' is a survival reality program to find South Korea's next "Food Culture Icon" among amateur chef contestants.
