Mokpo MBC and Vietnam's VTV have teamed up to create a reality TV show titled 'Multicultural Night Market,' taking place from October 7 to 11 in Mokwon-dong, Mokpo City, South Korea. The program focuses on transforming an unused store in Mokpo's historic city center into a Vietnamese restaurant, featuring various episodes with a Vietnamese cast managing the restaurant in Korea.
The restaurant, called 'Taste of Home,' opens its doors on October 9, offering dishes like 'Hanoi Bun Cha,' 'Crab Meat Lotus Spring Roll,' and 'Mini Seafood Banh Xeo.' The lineup includes esteemed Vietnamese chef Quan, well-known personalities MC HONG Phuc and MC Trang Mu Tat, alongside Korean chef Leo Kang.
All proceeds from the restaurant will be donated to support the Vietnamese community association. Following the show's filming, Mokpo Science University will oversee the restaurant, continuing efforts to rejuvenate Mokpo's city center. Mokpo MBC's Programming Director, PD Kim Yoonsang, hopes that chef Quan's cuisine will inject new energy into the area.
