Ahn Hyo Seop Plates Up a Mystery in JTBC's 'Final Table' Character Posters

JTBC has released new character posters for its upcoming drama "Final Table," introducing three chefs who will fight for the title of Korea's best, Soompi reports.

The series follows talented Korean chefs from around the world who gather for "The Table: K-Chef 2026," a high-stakes cooking competition staged to crown the best Korean chef. The posters frame Ahn Hyo Seop, Hong Hwa Yeon, and Chang Ryul as Kang Han, Choi Song Yi, and Cha Woo Jin.

Ahn Hyo Seop's Kang Han is a genius chef whose identity stays hidden. He is a cook with extraordinary skills, but little is known about his personal life, including his appearance, background, and affiliations. His poster shows him locked in on a dish, plating tweezers in hand.

The tagline asks: "Who is Kang Han, the master hidden behind the veil?"

Hong Hwa Yeon plays Choi Song Yi, owner of the restaurant Famiglia, who enters the competition carrying a story tied to the place she runs. Famiglia is described as a "tragic inheritance," a hint at the secrets around it, and her poster line reads, "Why did she choose a cooking competition over revenge?"

Chang Ryul's Cha Woo Jin is head chef of Exception, one of Korea's top restaurants. Already counted among the country's leading chefs, he joins the contest to chase the top spot again. His poster catches a serious expression at his workstation, and his tagline leans into an uncompromising perfectionism and a meticulous approach to cooking.

Ahn Hyo Seop can also be seen in "Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy" on Viki, while Hong Hwa Yeon appears in "Filing for Love."

"Final Table" premieres October 24 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
