MBC staff has stated that because of the fans support for Yunho and Go Ah Ra, the two are exerting their full effort for the filming of this drama.

Making seafood soup and kimchi cheese fried rice - Han Seungyeon/Hong Sungjun team

-Do you normally cook well?

Han Seungyeon: "I often just cook whatever my taste buds find tasty."

-But making seafood soup is difficult.

Han Seungyeon: "I went with Sungjun Oppa to the market to pick ingredients, and I discovered a seafood soup making kit. Either way since I live in the dorms, this seemed like an easy choice.

-Thoughts on participating and who will be first place?

Han Seungyeon: "It's like a war atmosphere. You can tell if you look at the ruins of the dining table. We have to make sure we finish both dishes within the time limit, so there isn't even time to clean up, just hurriedly making the dishes. And of course we'll be first place."

Making palace rice cake and seafood rice cake - Park Gyuri/Choi Dajin team

-Do you normally cook well?

Park Gyuri: "If others eat the food I cook, they all say it tastes delicious."

-The reason for making rice cake?

Park Gyuri: "Others really like my rice cake, so I decided to make it. If you take out 'care' from my body, I am nothing but a corpse. (laughs)"

-Who'll be first place?

Park Gyuri: "It seems like the Jiyoung/Kyunghyun team will get first. Ours doesn't seem like it'll turn out as well as we thought. The gas burner wasn't working so I had to use the one in the kitchen, so I had to keep going back and forth. It's such a pity."

Making stir-fried chicken soup - Kang Jiyoung/Cho Kyunghyun team

-Who'll be first place today?

Kang Jiyoung: "Of course we will. Me and Kyunghyun oppa's breathing matches well."

-Not wearing cooking gloves?

Kang Jiyoung: "Yeah. You're supposed to just make food like this anyways. Food needs hands to be tasty."

-Why did you decide to make stir-fried chicken soup?

Kang Jiyoung: "Honestly earlier at the market the Hara/Soojin team was going to make stir-fried chicekn soup, so we decided to make it. We want to make it especially savory, so we even prepared bananas."

Koo Hara (who overheard): "I coolly let her. (laughs)"

Making stir-fried pork, sausage, fish and bean curd vinegar rice - Koo Hara/Kim Soojin team

-Do you normally cook often?

Koo Hara: "I've tried making a lot of things. I even store recipes in my cell phone now. I don't get to make things often, but my food's really good."

-You're making four kinds of dishes.

Koo Hara: "I wanted to show bits of flavors here and there. But what I'm most confident about is the stir-fried pork. The beancurd vinegar rice goes well with the stir-fried pork."

-You really like the decoration?

Koo Hara: "If the food looks good then it will also taste good."

Making kimchi stew and fruit punch - Jung Nicole/Lee Seulgi team

-Who will be first today?

Nicole: "Of course our team will be. Please await our top flavor. [When you try the flavor of the kimchi stew] you'll go WOW this is the best, hot!"

-You have a lot done already?

Nicole: "First of all, along with the kimchi stew, you can eat the fried egg and spam rice that we prepared. It's what I normally enjoy eating. And for dessert we made fruit punch. We mixed Korean and American styles."

-Are you going to cool the fruit?

Nicole: "It'll become cool if I put it in the freezer right? The freezer is under the fridge right?"

Who among the members of KARA is the "Palace's Jang Geum?"
On a sunny day in the month of May, the members of KARA is filming for their latest reality program "MTV's MetaFriends", together with their fans who were all on a cooking mission.

The cooking mission had Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, Jung Nicole, Goo Hara and Kang Jiyoung had fans who beat the odds 240:1 to be present that day. Jo Kyung Hyun, Hong Sung Joon, Kim Soo Jin, Lee Seul Ki and Choi Da Jin were the lucky who were together with the members of KARA who got to show their hidden cooking skills.

Divided into 5 units, each member had one partner who were to go on this mission with them, with 30,000 Won as budget. With this, they went to a nearby market to buy the ingredients themselves for their desired dish.

KARA and their friends ran arround in the scorching heat as they went around to buy their ingredients, but even in the heat, they all did not loose the smiles on their faces as they were clearly enjoying themselves on this mission.

Although it was expected that they would be making simple meals like toast and ramen, the girls and their friends surprised everyone when they started makind real dishes from scratch, as evidenced by the ingredients that they got.


KARA and their friends dishes: Seafood soup, Chicken fried rice and Pork fried rice.

All of them finished their dishes within the time limit of one hour, and when it was time for everyone to gather, each one looked serious, realling wanting to win this challenge. As time passed by, the food being put on the table seemed more delicious than the last dish, making everyone lookin on very hungry. Despite the hot weather, the gas burner being broken and the fire that seemed not to be working very well, KARA and their friends did not give up, and thus managed to successfully complete the challenge.

And voila! KARA and their friends dishes!

"This is the first time I tasted something like this", "This is too peppery" and "Its missing a certain flavor" - these were some of the comments at the judgment table. Finally, at the end of the day, Seung Yeon-Sung Joon was proclaimed winner.

The PD who tasted the dishes made by the 5 teams said that "I liked their dish the most because I like the certain hot and peppery taste of it. It was really delicious."

Upon receiving their award, the winning pair said "We would like to thank the cameraman who filmed us in the heat while we were cooking!", then smiled brightly at everyone present.

If there is a first placer, there are also the last placers which was a tie between Gyuri-Da Jin who prepared hot rice cakes and Nicole-Seulki who cooked the Kimchi stew and fruit platter. The two losing teams good-naturedly cleaned the dishes, afterwhich the first episode of MTV's MetaFriends, the cooking mission ended.

Now its KARA's comments.

The Kimchi stew received the comment that "Its the first time I ever tasted something like this." to which Nicole admitted "It is true. It was a bit too salty. I think we boiled it for too long"
The two kinds of hot rice cakes were both last place. Gyuri said "I can't admit defeat. We only were not able to put all the needed seasonings thats why it turned out that way. Its an all-natural taste. And, we don't care about the ranking, so we're okay."
Seung Yeon-Sung Joon won. Jiyoung complained "They used pre-seasoned ingredients while we started everything from scratch. We were at a disadvantage." To which the winner (who overheard this) said "We only used (while making a really small gesture with her hands) this much. The peppery and refreshing taste came from the seafood. What can we do about that?"
