[Sports Today reporter Kim Tae-hyung] The Top 7 — Hwang Ji-o, Lee Kyung-mu, Kim Jin-seo, Kim Si-yeop, Seong Min-su, Yoon Hwa-young, and Joo Young-seok — are set to receive the final scores from the first round of the finals, a decisive chef-collaboration mission that will determine their fates.

MBN’s Cheonha Jebbang is South Korea’s first K-bakery survival series, created to crown the world’s top pastry and bakery chef and to propel the K-bread trend beyond mere food. Reels from the Top 7’s semifinal performances have already totaled 1.1 million views, and Kim Si-yeop’s \”Goyang Rice Dog\” has been heavily promoted across Goyang City’s social channels, keeping public interest high.

Episode 9, airing on the 29th, will reveal the judging results for the Top 7: Hwang Ji-o, Lee Kyung-mu, Kim Jin-seo, Kim Si-yeop, Seong Min-su, Yoon Hwa-young, and Joo Young-seok. Ahead of the announcement, the celebrity chefs who partnered with the contestants on the \”One Meal, One Bread\” mission — Hwang Jin-sun, Ahn Yoo-sung, Kim Yoo-ah, Lee Seung-jun, Lee Won-il, Oh Se-deuk, and Cho Seo-hyung — admitted they were on edge, saying they couldn’t read the contestants’ expressions and that their hearts were racing.

With results flipping on razor-thin margins, the tension is palpable. Viewers are watching closely to see who will be smiling at the end of the first final round in what promises to be an unpredictable outcome.

During judging, Master Kwon Sung-joon surprised the room by bowing and apologizing to one contestant, admitting, \”I didn’t believe you at first.\” By contrast, Master Kim Na-rae grabbed attention with a sharp critique, likening a contestant’s loaf to the \”Leaning Tower of Pisa.\” Audiences will be curious to see who shattered Kwon’s assumptions and who fell under Kim’s exacting eye.

Meanwhile, the semifinal Top 3 — Hwang Ji-o, Lee Kyung-mu, and Kim Jin-seo — waited for the results in a tense, uneasy atmosphere. Semifinal winner Hwang was left wondering after a judge’s comment: \”What if you had just three more minutes?\” Lee, who placed 21st in round one, 2nd in round two, and 2nd in the semifinals, said he wants to break his strange run of tying with the number two, revealing his anxiety. Kim Jin-seo, who had confidently announced, \”Our team scored 95 points! No blemishes,\” later surprised viewers by admitting, \”Today is my messed-up day,\” displaying a dramatic emotional swing. The fates of these three remain one of the show’s biggest questions.
