TVXQ's Changmin explained why he decided to join the cast of JTBC's 'Western Style Food'.
At the November 29th press conference for the 8-part food series, Changmin expressed, "The reason I decided to appear on this show is because I've been in the entertainment industry for 17 years, and I feel pressure about going on other variety shows. I'm not funny, and I have nothing to talk about."
He continued, "Here, I can listen to various stories and eat food with exceptional people. I thought it would be easy to do, so that's why I decided to join. I think there are a lot of things I can learn. I was fortunate to appear alongside these people. I think it was a time to study valuable things."
Changmin also revealed he recently spent more of his time studying cooking, saying, "While filming this show, I wanted to understand cooking and ingredients more. I bought a book called 'Silver Spoon', and it's like the bible of Italian food. It's around a 1000 pages long, but I want to learn by setting a goal to try each recipe before my 40s."
Baek Jong Won praised Changmin on his cooking skills as well, sharing that the TVXQ member had a talent for making noodles.
'Western Style Food' premieres on December 1 at 11PM KST.
