The Chuseok special was helmed by Park Na-rae, Kim Dae-ho, and Moon Se-yoon. However, Park Na-rae stepped back from her broadcasting duties following allegations of manager mistreatment and illegal medical procedures. Stepping into her shoes is Park Ha-sun.
A teaser dropped on the 10th hints at an unprecedented battle of regional delicacies. The competition’s ferocity left even seasoned food show veteran Moon Se-yoon stunned, remarking, “This makes my decade in culinary broadcasting seem like child’s play.” The hosts were rendered speechless after sampling the local specialties, with Park Ha-sun stealing the spotlight through competitive moments unseen in rival shows. Her fiery exclamation, “How dare you!” left co-hosts Kim Dae-ho and Moon Se-yoon in awe.
Another standout feature of this Lunar New Year special is its unpredictable competition format. The final vote, conducted blindly, keeps viewers guessing until the very end. With judgment based solely on taste, the relentless regional rivalries create a rare tension in holiday programming. Only one region will emerge victorious in this nail-biting three-way culinary clash.
As the tagline warns, “You’ll kick yourself if you miss it,” this edition of “National No. 1” promises to deliver the ultimate showdown of local specialties. All eyes are on which regional delicacy will claim the culinary crown after this fierce gastronomic battle.
“National No. 1” will premiere on February 16 at 8:10 PM, followed by the second episode on February 23 at 9 PM, and the finale on March 2 at 9 PM.
