Esteemed chef Yoon Nam-no has openly shared the candid reasons behind his decision not to cook for his girlfriends at home, sparking widespread interest.

A video titled 'I wanted to appear because of a grateful memory' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Na Rae Sik' on September 17th. In the clip, Chef Yoon Nam-no joined host Park Na-rae to cook and recounted anecdotes from his dating life.

When Park Na-rae inquired if he cooks for his girlfriend at home, Yoon replied, "I've broken up with many people because of that. Because I didn't cook. I simply don't want to." He further elaborated, "It's like telling a comedian to 'be funny.' I don't have ingredients at home, and I dislike going grocery shopping. I don't want to prepare in advance either."

He continued, "I told my girlfriends to make reservations at a restaurant if they wanted me to cook. Girlfriends tend to want me to whip up kimchi fried rice at home. But I think, 'Why would you eat kimchi fried rice at home when you can just order it for delivery and they'll do a good job?'" Responding to Park Na-rae's question, "Wouldn't it be nice if a chef boyfriend cooked for you?", Yoon humorously stated, "Couples like that fall into a fantasy, meeting initially but ultimately leading to ruin. There are many instances of breakups because of this."

Chef Yoon Nam-no is the owner and head chef of the Italian restaurant 'Bonum 1957'. He has previously appeared on various television programs, showcasing his exceptional culinary skills and witty conversational abilities. His dishes are highly praised for their fresh ingredients and creative recipes.
