‘Tyrant Chef’ Stars Yoona & Lee Chae-min Depart for Reward Vacation After Topping Ratings

The cast and crew of tvN's hit drama ‘Tyrant Chef’ have embarked on a reward vacation to Da Nang, Vietnam, celebrating their impressive viewership ratings.

On the 21st, actors Lim Yoon-a and Lee Chae-min, along with other cast members and production staff, were spotted at Incheon International Airport, heading to their well-deserved break.

Yoona turned heads with a vibrant red plaid shirt and denim skirt, a stark contrast to the chilly weather, perfectly suited for the warmer climes of Da Nang. Her chic glasses and styled hair further added to her fashionable airport look. Lee Chae-min opted for a comfortable ensemble of a black knit zip-up hoodie, black jeans, and sneakers, embracing a relaxed travel style.

‘Tyrant Chef,’ a fantasy romantic comedy with a time-travel premise, concluded on the 28th of last month, achieving a record-high viewership rating of 17.1%. This not only made it the highest-rated mini-series of 2025 but also secured the top spot in tvN drama history on Netflix's Global Top 10 non-English TV Shows list for two consecutive weeks.

The reward vacation, a token of appreciation for the drama's success, is scheduled for three nights and four days, concluding on the 24th. However, Lee Chae-min is set to return early due to a prior fan meeting commitment.

Netizens are buzzing with excitement, commenting, 'So happy for the cast and crew! Enjoy your trip to Da Nang!', 'Yoona's airport fashion is goals!', and 'Looking forward to both actors' next projects!' The drama's success has clearly resonated with fans.
