Watch: Cha Seung Won, Kim Hee Ae, Kim Seon Ho, And Lee Ki Taek Hold Back Tears As They Listen To An Elderly Customer’s Song In “Bonjour Bakery”

Upcoming variety show “Bonjour Bakery” shares warmth with the elderly in a quiet rural village!

Set in a peaceful rural village, “Bonjour Bakery” is a healing baking variety show centered on Korea’s first senior French dessert cafe, where pastries are crafted using local ingredients. The show stars Kim Hee Ae, Cha Seung Won, Kim Seon Ho, and Lee Ki Taek.

Stemming from the realization that “a senior’s happiness is simple,” this project gifts a “time purely for oneself” to the parents’ generation who have lived their entire lives for their families. Seeing the seniors enjoy complete happiness through new flavors and experiences will remind viewers of their own grandmothers and parents, promising to deliver a moving, healing experience that all generations can relate to.

In the newly released teaser, Cha Seung Won serves a classic French pastry galette de rois (“King’s cake”) to the elderly. As he tries to pause those who can’t wait to dig into the dish, Cha Seung Won explains that it is tradition to hide a small charm inside it but that they hid a chestnut in one of the five cakes that were served.

When Cha Seung Won signals them to begin eating, customers cut the cake and look for the chestnut with excitement in their eyes. Soon, a elderly woman shouts in joy, “I found the chestnut!” When Cha Seung Won hands her a flower as a prize, another elderly customer suggests that the finder sing for everyone. The elderly female’s song begins to flow through the laughter-filled bakery, and everyone focuses on her voice, sharing a happy moment together.

Watch the full teaser below:

“Bonjour Bakery” premieres on May 8 and will be available on Viki.

Watch: Kim Seon Ho, Lee Ki Taek, Kim Hee Ae, And Cha Seung Won Craft Beautiful French Desserts For Seniors In New Variety Show

The upcoming baking variety show “Bonjour Bakery” (literal title) has unveiled its first teaser!

Set in a peaceful rural village, “Bonjour Bakery” is a healing baking variety show centered on Korea’s first senior French dessert café, where pastries are crafted using local ingredients. The show stars Kim Hee Ae, Cha Seung Won, Kim Seon Ho, and Lee Ki Taek.

The newly released teaser shows the members warmly welcoming elderly guests to the country’s first senior dessert café. Kim Hee Ae greets them with a playful ID check—since the café is exclusively for those aged 65 and older—lightly joking, “Are you sure you’re over 65? You look so young,” setting a warm and friendly tone from the start.

At the front of house, Kim Hee Ae melts hearts with her gentle, attentive conversations, while Kim Seon Ho naturally engages guests with his easygoing charm. In the kitchen, Cha Seung Won and Lee Ki Taek take the lead, crafting artistic desserts using locally sourced ingredients. With their delicate techniques and visually stunning creations, they promise a fresh kind of emotional experience—offering elderly guests in the rural village the rare joy of tasting French desserts for the very first time.

“Bonjour Bakery” has already garnered significant buzz for being created by hit-making variety show creators. PD Park Geun Hyung of “You Quiz on the Block” and writer Kim Ran Joo, known for “2 Days & 1 Night” and “Infinite Challenge,” have teamed up once again, heralding the birth of a new healing variety show.

Writer Kim Ran Joo shared, “The idea began from a memory of my father, who moved to the city and smiled brightly after tasting a dessert for the first time in his life. Watching him find joy in even a simple dessert that cost just a few thousand won made me realize that happiness for the elderly can be more modest than we think.”

PD Park Geun Hyung added that the goal is “to offer seniors a special experience through French desserts made with wholesome local ingredients, allowing those who eat them to feel pure happiness.”

“Bonjour Bakery” is set to premiere on May 8 at 4 p.m. KST on Coupang Play.
