Old Youn's Kitchen cast Lee Seo-jin, Jung Yu-mi and Park Seo-joon are promoted to executives while Choi Woo-shik stays an intern since he'll work for the first time in a restaurant.

Less than two weeks before opening, the executives meet with chef Lee Won-il to develop the menu and receive lessons in the kitchen.

Additional items: On November 9, 2022, tvN announced through various medias the project presented as more intense and fun than the healing and full of laughter Youn's Kitchen.

[14] On February 20, 2024, SPOTV News revealed that the actress Go Min-si was offered to replaced BTS's V in the new season, absent due to mandatory military service.

Despite difficulties due to coordinating schedules of active Youn's Stay actors working on different projects, the initial plan—announced on November 9, 2022—of filming within the year and air in the first quarter of 2023, was followed.

[11] While the TV show was filmed in Bacalar in Mexico, the special episode "Jinny's Kitchen Director's Cut with Na PD" took place in Itaewon-dong, Seoul in South Korea.

The special episode reunited cast members to recall and talk about the memorable moments of the show and was filmed around May, about two months after the pre-recording of the press conference for Jinny's Kitchen.

Pero, the stray dog that suddenly came to the restaurant during the filming of the show, has been adopted by one of the crew members living in Mexico, after paying for vaccinations and treatment for his sore leg.

[20][21] On the same day, according to SPOTV News, it was announced that the cast was scheduled to leave for Iceland in mid-March and begin filming Season 2.

[5] In early February 2023, the cast featured in a special episode of The Game Caterers, Na Young-seok PD's YouTube variety show to promote Jinny's Kitchen.

[23] The press conference for season 2 has been shared on both Na PD and CJ ENM Global YouTube channels on June 28, 2024, the morning of the release of the first episode.

[17] In a video filmed in the end of 2023 and posted on June 17, 2024 on Na PD's Youtube channel, Tae-hyung advised Go Min-si to be fast in her tasks and be ready for when he comes back from his military service.

In this live, Na PD confirmed wanting Tae-hyung to rejoin the cast after his military service but with the hierarchy in the restaurant still to be determined.

[...] The appearance of V, a leading figure in K-culture, and the Hallyu craze with K-food and other things, combined with PD Na Young Seok's witty entertainment will create a synergy effect.

[27] On March 26, 2023, Jinny's Kitchen ranked 15th in the "Most Watched TV Shows" category on Amazon Prime Video worldwide.

[28] It was stated by Manila Bulletin that FlixPatrol recorded that Jinny's Kitchen placed in the top 10 in 14 countries and territories on April 22, 2023, reaching number one in 8 of them.

[29] It remained the most watched TV show for the first half of 2023 on TVING, CJ ENM's streaming platform, as reported by India Today.

She also describes it as "a refreshing reminder that there is value and joy to be had in a reality show that isn't loud or over-the-top, and instead celebrates the small, seemingly inconsequential wins that may be boring on paper but are extremely relatable to the everyday person.

[32] According to Na PD during a YouTube live broadcast, the crew had to mention BTS V and the program's streaming platform Amazon to prove their credibility to the house owner for season 2 in Reykjavík (Iceland).

[33] While the owner was unaware of the show's popularity, the season 1 success led to the restaurant being fully booked in less than half an hour after the opening.

[34] Moreover, the new JTBC variety show My Name Is Gabriel originally scheduled to air every Friday at 20:50 (KST)[35] was moved to 22:30 slot starting from the third episode (July 5) to avoid competition with Jinny's Kitchen.

[36] Ilgan Sports reminded us however that this mechanical evaluation solely based on viewership ratings isn't enough to correctly report the situation.

Indeed, Jinny's Kitchen is a franchise entertainment program with a first season highly watched, broadcast on a channel (tvN) generally more viewed than JTBC and on a streaming platform (TVING) which has a much higher number of domestic subscribers than Disney Plus, where My Name Is Gabriel is released.
