tvN’s new show 'Green Bean, Red Bean spinoff: Cafeteria Operation' (directed by Na Young Seok, Ha Moo Sung, and Lee Young Kyung) has garnered attention as a spin-off of the beloved program 'Green Bean, Red Bean: You Reap What You Sow.'
This time, instead of farming, the series focuses on real-life best friends Lee Kwang Soo and Do Kyung Soo (EXO's D.O.) running a cafeteria.
The poster draws attention with the cheerful smiles of Lee Kwang Soo and Do Kyung Soo, who will take charge of KKPP Food for three days, offering mouthwatering lunches and dinners to the employees of the production company Eggiscoming. The duo will oversee every aspect of the operation, from crafting creative menu names and planning dishes to preparing the meals themselves.
CEO Lee Kwang Soo will manage customer interactions and assist in the kitchen, while main chef and nutritionist Do Kyung Soo will use his trusted cooking skills to balance flavor and nutrition. As a former military cook, Do Kyung Soo is set to showcase large-scale cooking expertise never seen before on a Na Young Seok variety show and adds excitement to the program.
In the first teaser, Lee Kwang Soo and Do Kyung Soo can be seen in action. Lee Kwang Soo humorously encourages employees to eat at the cafeteria, calling one producer on the phone and switching tones from friendly to commanding when he realizes the producer is younger than him, saying, “Hurry up and come eat!”
The chemistry between CEO Lee and Nutritionist Do promises to be as delightful as the food. In one moment, Do Kyung Soo discovers a messy sink and scolds Lee Kwang Soo, saying, “Clean up! Clean it up!” At another point, during a conversation, he yells, “You do it, Hyung! That’s your job!” leaving Lee Kwang Soo flustered.
The teaser also shows Lee Kwang Soo leaning close to Do Kyung Soo’s ear, saying, “Can’t you hear me?” and playfully grabbing him by the collar, creating hilarious moments. Despite their bickering, the two show moments of care and reliance on one another, building anticipation for the heartwarming and comedic stories to come.
tvN’s 'Green Bean, Red Bean spinoff: Cafeteria Operation' will premiere on Thursday, January 9, at 8:40 PM KST, with the full episode being released on YouTube’s Channel Channel Fullmoon on Friday, January 10, at 6 PM KST.
