Korean superstar Ji Chang Wook is stepping into Filipino territory. A cross-cultural variety show called "Kumusta" has landed on Viki, bringing together Philippine entertainment stars with the K-drama actor for a pop-up restaurant concept.
The cast includes Jodi Sta. Maria, Francine Diaz, Janella Salvador, and Arci Muñoz alongside Ji Chang Wook. They open a Filipino pop-up restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, with legendary Filipino chef JP Anglo directing the menu.
Chef Anglo curates the entire menu, selecting what he considers the best Filipino flavors for Korean diners. The show captures the cast navigating restaurant operations, kitchen mishaps, and cultural exchange outside their usual work.
The show is available to stream for free across Southeast Asia on Viki. Ji Chang Wook fans and Filipino viewers can watch their homegrown stars on an international platform.
"Kumusta"—which means "how are you" in Tagalog—has generated online buzz as viewers anticipate how the cast will handle restaurant operations and interact with each other.
