Culinary Class Wars Season 2 Winner Spoiler

Currently, rumors are circulating that the top contenders for the winner of Culinary Class Wars Season 2 are “Naya Deulgireum” (likely referring to Chef Choi Kang-rok, famous for his “perilla oil” catchphrase) and Chef Kang Leo (or Kang Reo), with stories that both have won. On top of that, Chef “Ilbekkio” (possibly a nickname or misspelling, perhaps “Ilbe Kio” or similar) is being highlighted as a dark horse, so I recommend keeping a close eye on them.
