Netflix’s inaugural Korean culinary competition series, Culinary Class Wars, has quickly become a breakout global hit, with Taiwan ranking among its most enthusiastic markets. At the Taiwan Creative Content Fest, producer Eunji Kim of Studio Slam explained how the show evolved from a rough idea into a fully realized format that translates Korean culinary culture for a worldwide audience. Kim walked attendees through the development journey—from early concept sketches and participant sourcing to shaping the show’s distinctive structure and cultural cues that resonate with international viewers. The discussion highlighted how Korean cultural codes—such as reverence for technique, teamwork, and hospitality—are woven into a competitive format that remains accessible across languages and borders, helping Culinary Class Wars emerge as a global cooking show phenomenon on Netflix. As streaming platforms continue to elevate Korean content, the series demonstrates how a locally rooted concept can captivate audiences worldwide, expanding opportunities for creators and studios like Studio Slam.
