Culinary Class Wars: List of contestants and their details, explored 

Culinary Class Wars is a reality cooking show where 100 chefs compete to become the best chef in Korea. The competition is divided between 80 Black Spoon chefs, who are lesser-known and often underestimated, and 20 elite White Spoon chefs, already famous in the food world. The goal is to prove their culinary skills through a series of intense cooking challenges.

Judging this competition is no easy task. The show features two highly respected chefs:

1) Paik Jong-won: A well-known restaurateur and television personality, Paik Jong-won is famous for his appearances on shows like Paik's Spirit. His vast knowledge of the food industry makes him the perfect judge.

2) Anh Sung-jae: Anh Sung-jae is the head chef of Mosu Seoul, a three-star Michelin restaurant. His experience in high-end cuisine adds serious credibility to the judging panel.
