Forestella's Ko Woo-rim Praises Wife Kim Yuna's Culinary Skills: 'Her Palate is Different'

On the KBS 2TV entertainment show 'New Release Food Truck' (hereinafter referred to as 'Food Truck') aired on the 14th, the members of the group Forestella were shown enjoying a special meal prepared by their leader, Ko Woo-rim.

The broadcast celebrated Forestella's 8th debut anniversary, with Ko Woo-rim hosting his members for a course meal he personally prepared. Ko Woo-rim expressed his deep affection for the members, stating, "After 8 years, they've become closer than family."

One of the menu items, the 'Kkwadang Salad,' a surprising combination of crackers, carrots, and mayonnaise, piqued the members' curiosity. Jo Min-kyu remarked, "This seems like a dish that holds a love story." He recalled their dating days, adding, "You protected their relationship for three years, didn't you? We always have staff and people around us, not just the four of us, so we needed a name for her that wouldn't easily bring her to mind. What could we call her?"

This led to the revelation of the behind-the-scenes story of how the members nicknamed Kim Yuna 'Carrot' during their dating period. Ko Woo-rim explained, "The members used to say things like, 'Is Carrot coming?' or 'Carrot is coming?'" Kang Hyung-ho chimed in, "I still have her saved as 'Carrot' in my phone," eliciting laughter.

Notably, the members did not hold back their praise for Kim Yuna's culinary talent. Kang Hyung-ho commented, "It seems both Woo-rim and 'Carrot' enjoy cooking. 'Carrot' cooks very well. The seasoning is perfect." Jo Min-kyu raved, "The Neapolitan pasta was truly delicious," and Bae Doo-hoon added, "The kimchi fried rice was even better than what they sell in Cheongdam-dong."

Ko Woo-rim acknowledged Kim Yuna's superior cooking skills, showing his doting side. He said, "Kimchi fried rice might seem simple, but getting the seasoning right is difficult. I thought I was better at it, but her palate is different. Her senses are far superior to mine."

Netizens who watched the broadcast commented, "Kim Yuna's cooking skills are truly amazing," "Ko Woo-rim is totally certified as a loving husband!", and "The Forestella members are so witty, it's great to watch."
