Na Yeong-seok also shared his thoughts on Go Min-si's work on the show.
He said,
“Min-si showed us something a little different as a new intern. She did her best to be recognized or bring a result, things like that. That's what she showed. Rather than comparing them, it's more like they played different roles.”

BTS’ Kim Taehyung started his military enlistment journey on December 11, 2023, to fulfill his national duties. Since the Layover singer is serving in the military, he could not join the cast members of Jinny's Kitchen 2. Popular actress Go Min-si, known for her roles in dramas like Sweet Home, Youth of May, and more, joined the second season as an intern.
On Friday, June 28, Jinny's Kitchen 2 cast members Lee Seo-jin, Park Seo-joon, Jung Yu-mi, Choi Woo-shik, and Go Min-si attended the press conference where they answered some questions about the upcoming season.
Lee Seo-jin, who plays the role of the owner and the CEO of Jinny's Kitchen restaurant, revealed the increase in the number of customers from season one, filmed in Bacalar, Mexico, to season two, filmed in Reykjavik, Iceland. He also revealed how all the team members played their part well to make profits while also handling many visitors.
“To be honest, I didn't expect so many customers. So I didn't expect much profit. It was a cold country, so I thought we could just focus on a few customers we were going to have. Then we had so many customers, and the profit reached its peak.”
Previously, The School Nurse Files actress Jung Yu-mi took on the role of the executive director, now in season two she will emerge as the managing director. Gyeongseong Creature actor Park Seo-joon was the senior manager in the last season. This time, he will be the director.
