One of the highlights of Culinary Class Wars was the dynamic between Anh and Paik Jong-won. Both judges frequently disagreed on the contestants’ dishes due to their different judging styles – with Anh employing a stricter methodology.
During the interview, Anh admitted that working with Paik “wasn’t good” at first.
“I had different standards from Paik but I felt like this meant we could judge the food from various angles so that our viewpoints weren’t one-sided,” he said.
Nonetheless, Anh respects Paik.
“Paik has been very kind to me. I respect him because we have conversations where we fill each other’s gaps.”
