Personal life

[edit]

Baek Jong-won was born on September 4, 1966, in Yesan County, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea.[1] He was interested in food since he was a child.[2] When he was an elementary school student, he was given some biscuits, but he had to fry them with butter and sprinkle them with sugar. He said his father was also a picky eater, which made him more interested in cooking. When he was a student, his father would buy ten hamburgers at a time on his way home after a business trip. Baek Jong-won would try different recipes to make the hamburgers taste better. It was from then that he started to cook.[3]

Baek married actress So Yoo-jin on January 19, 2013.[4][5] Their first child, a son, was born on April 9, 2014.[6] Their second child, a daughter, was born on September 21, 2015.[7] Their third child, a daughter, was born on February 8, 2018.[8][9]

Baek has hosted a number of cooking television shows, including Baek Jong-won's Top 3 Chef King, Baek Jong-won's Food Truck, and Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant. In 2021, he produced his own original series Baek Spirit, with Netflix.[10][unreliable source?]

He is also the CEO of Theborn Korea Inc, 26 restaurant franchises with 1,299 branches across the country including Saemaul Sikdang,[11] Baek's Coffee,[12] and Baek's Bibim.[13]
