Go Min Si Takes Over in Jinny’s Kitchen 2
In the first season of Jinny’s Kitchen, BTS’s V charmed viewers with his youthful energy and engaging personality. However, due to his military service, he is unable to continue in the show. Therefore, the production team decided to bring in Go Min Si, a rising star known for her roles in Youth of May and Sweet Home. In this season, the crew of Jinny’s Kitchen, including Lee Seo Jin, Jung Yoo Mi, Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Sik, and Go Min Si, will travel to Iceland. They aim to open a Korean restaurant, showcasing some of Lee Seo Jin’s favorite dishes to the local audience.

Go Min Si is a talented actress who is currently building her career diligently,” explained PD Na Young Suk.
He further elaborated, “Through our research, we discovered that she had done significant work before becoming an actress. The work environment on our show might seem relaxed, but there is a structured system in place. We felt that Go Min Si would adapt well to this system and contribute effectively to the team. Her background as a wedding planner, where she received a quick promotion, made her an excellent fit for our show.”

PD Na Young Suk also highlighted the differences between BTS’s V and Go Min Si in their roles on the show.

In contrast, Go Min Si represents a young person who, despite being new to acting, has considerable experience and skills. “Go Min Si’s situation is a bit different. She has experience and skills that deserve recognition and is eager to see positive results from her efforts. Their roles differ naturally, and I hope viewers will appreciate these differences,” PD Na Young Suk added.
