"Netflix announced the production of Season 2 of its record-breaking show 'Culinary Class Wars, which debuted as the first Korean variety program to rank No. 1 on the Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) list for three consecutive weeks," 'Soompi' reports.

'Netflix Korea' went on to say, "We will 'evenly' return with Season 2. The ultimate cooking survival show judged solely on taste, 'Culinary Class Wars,' has been confirmed for a second season."

Season one judges Paik Jong Won and Anh Sung Jae are a celebrity restaurateur and the sole Michelin three-star chef in Korea, respectively. Paik Jong Won is also famous for being the husband of actress So Yoo Jin. They wed in 2013 and have three children together.

Anh Sung Jae is an award-winning chef, and he leads the MOSU Seoul restaurant in Seoul, South Korea.

Paik Jong Won is passionate about teaching the next generation all about cooking, especially those interested in Korean food.

"In fact, the reason why I continue to shoot (food and restaurant-related) TV programs is because I want to change people's perception about running restaurants," Paik said in an exclusive 2018 interview with 'The Korea Herald.'

He added, "We lack in terms of the number of (professionally trained) people who work in the food service industry, not to mention how many of them have begun food franchise businesses as a last resort, thinking it is relatively easy to run a restaurant compared to any other business. It's not that Korean food is less competitive compared to other cuisines, but the people who make the food must, first of all, like what they do. Restaurant entrepreneurs need to put in effort, with a correct understanding of the food and also with responsibility,"
