Dad-to-be Namgoong Min’s dining table, a tightrope walk between thorough self-management and humanity.
Written on: June 21, 2026 | Column by current affairs critic specializing in IT/media
Actor Namgoong Min, who showed cool-headed and perfect acting on TV, recently appeared in front of the public with the warm title of an expectant father. Along with the blessing of new life after four years of marriage, he appeared on the JTBC entertainment program 'Take Care of My Refrigerator' and revealed his daily life, which had been shrouded in mystery. Known for his thorough self-management, we will now take an in-depth look into what kind of ingredients in his refrigerator he displayed his human charm and what unusual cooking topics he ordered from chefs.
As if to prove his professionalism as an actor, Namgoong Min confessed an amazing anecdote about how he bulked up from 67kg to 84kg by following a strict diet and exercising. His refrigerator is filled with management meals that prioritize health and healthy lunch boxes carefully prepared by his wife, Jin Ah-reum, giving us an idea of how carefully he takes care of his body. But the twist was right there. He defines himself as 'a person who eats for 14 hours after drinking,' and the day after drinking, he explodes his suppressed appetite and shows his human side of regret. This gap between perfectionism and disarming is becoming an attractive factor that makes the public feel that he is not just a star, but a friendly person who lives with the same problems as us.
The highlight of this broadcast was definitely the unique missions thrown into the chefs' cooking competition. In the first match, Namgoong Min ordered a side dish that goes perfectly with 'Somaek', which represents his desire to relax for a while after finishing the long drama filming. The intense cooking performance by chefs Kim Poong and Lee Moon-jeong was close to a state of art that went beyond simple snack making, and Namgoong Min, who watched it, could not hide his amazement and shock. In particular, the bold cooking method shown by Chef Lee Moon-jeong immediately captivated the studio, and the tense fight between the two chefs gave viewers the tension and fun unique to traditional cooking entertainment at the same time.
The theme of the second match was even more unconventional. Namgoong Min confused the chefs by requesting 'food that turns ugly as soon as you eat it', reflecting his taste. This is an idea that overturns today's cooking trend that emphasizes sophisticated visuals, and is the result of Namgoong Min's honest taste of focusing only on the essence of taste and satisfaction rather than appearance. Chef Namno Yoon and Chef Seongjun Kwon fought a war of nerves, putting their pride on the line to carry out this unique mission, and entertainment devices were added, such as having the production crew and all cast members participate in voting to determine the winner, maximizing the immersion of the program.
Namgoong Min's actions go beyond simply appearing on entertainment shows, and are a glimpse into his serious attitude toward life as the head of a family and the father of a soon-to-be-born child. The news of his pregnancy, which was officially announced through his agency, received great blessing from the public, and he is currently paying close attention to his wife, who is about to give birth, and is working hard on prenatal education and health care. The story of the two people meeting on screen as a director and an actor and becoming a married couple after seven years of dating is receiving support from many people, and his image of taking care of his responsibility as a father-to-be and his main job as an actor at the same time is an example to many.
■ Conclusion and analysis outlook
The appearance of actor Namgoong Min in entertainment shows was a discovery of simple and warm humanity hidden within the strong walls of thorough self-management. Sometimes he whips himself with a harsh diet, and sometimes he craves 'ugly food' and becomes disarmed, reflecting his honest life beyond his job as an actor. As he prepares to return with a new work in November, expectations are already high to see what kind of in-depth acting he will show as the father of a child. His journey to balance work, family, and small happiness will continue to provide positive inspiration to many people.
