Riding a streak of three straight hits, actor Park Ji-hoon’s drama is racing toward its grand finale. 

On episode 11 of The Legend of Kitchen Soldier (hereafter 'Kitchen Soldier'), which aired on the 15th, Park entered the corps commander’s military meal cooking contest that would decide the fate of the Gangnim Outpost, unfolding a dynamic journey. 

His character, Kang Seong-jae, showcased his professional edge and, joining forces with his teammates, clinched a shared first place. But an unexpected crisis struck in the 1-on-1 individual round: the chef 'status window' suddenly vanished, wiping out all his skills and recipes.

Park Ji-hoon vividly portrayed Kang Seong-jae’s shock and confusion, pulling viewers deeper into the story. Having relied on the status window until now, he’s at a crossroads where he must overcome the crisis purely on his own. All eyes are on the finale to see how Kang Seong-jae breaks through.

Meanwhile, the final episode of 'Kitchen Soldier' is set to air on the 16th at 8:50 p.m. on TVING and tvN.
