Park Ji-hoon Swaps a Gun for a Kitchen Knife! “Becoming a Legend as a Cook” Unit Transfer Teaser Released

Private Park Ji-hoon turns military life on its head with skills that go beyond imagination. Tving Original 〈Becoming a Legend as a Cook〉 has released a teaser video for Kang Seong-jae’s unit transfer—hinting at the arrival of a once-in-a-generation military cook fantasy.

“I Can Boil Ramen!” The Legend Ignited by One Line

In the teaser, Kang Seong-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon), a rookie private fresh out of training, steps forward even in front of strict senior officers. His bold line—“I can boil ramen!”—instantly draws attention and lands him in the cooking squad.

The change starts the moment he enters the supply pantry. Like the cooking god has descended, an almost otherworldly aura surrounds him. With dazzling knife work and wok skills worthy of a top fine-dining chef, he produces dishes that quickly win over the other service members. As word spreads, the entire unit feels a fresh, unstoppable wave of excitement.

Park Ji-hoon’s Shifting Gaze… From Clumsy Rookie to Master Cook

Park Ji-hoon brings to life Kang Seong-jae’s three-dimensional transformation: he’s intimidated by a live chicken at first, but the moment he picks up a knife, his eyes instantly sharpen like a seasoned master. As the saying goes, “There’s power in food made with sincerity”—and it further fuels viewers’ curiosity about what secret is behind his “hand-touch” and what he’ll reveal next.

At the end of the video, a mysterious voice calls out to Kang Seong-jae, who is smiling brightly: “Welcome, brave soldier!” The intrigue only grows as the fantasy world hidden behind the otherwise ordinary life of a private begins to surface.
