Kim Jae-joong whipped up a cotton‑candy braised short rib dish.
On April 3, KBS2's Shinsangchulsi Pyeonstorang aired an episode where Kim Jae-joong prepared a surprise gift for his parents.
He presented what looked like a cake and asked them to open it. When his father dug in, he found a lotus leaf tucked inside. As they peeled the leaf away, braised short ribs were revealed — a playful twist that shocked everyone.
At first, Jae-joong's father seemed disappointed to find meat. His mood flipped, though, when he learned it was 1++ grade Hanwoo chuck flap — top-tier Korean beef. Kim had made cotton‑candy braised short ribs for his dad, and viewers marveled at the meat's incredible marbling.
Kim also showed thoughtful care for his elders by trimming the tendons. While peeling a radish, he joked about the dramatic camera moves, saying, \"I thought I was on Music Bank.\" He then thinly sliced the radish to show his mother, who teasingly told him to get married.
