Please Take Care of My Refrigerator

Please Take Care of My Refrigerator launched the celebrity chef era in Korean entertainment, running for eight seasons on JTBC. The food variety series invites celebrities to bring their actual refrigerators to the studio, challenging top chefs to create restaurant-quality dishes using only the contents in fifteen minutes. With an average of 4.5% viewer rating across its run, it outperforms #5 New Journey to the West's 3.8% average in traditional broadcast metrics. The show generated over 200 original recipes from its challenges, each costing 40% less than typical variety show segments to produce. Its success led to a spin-off franchise in 6 countries, faster than any other Korean food format.
