Actress Arci Muñoz described her stint on the Filipino-Korean culinary reality show Kumusta as an unforgettable blessing, especially after working alongside Korean star Ji Chang-wook, whom she considers her longtime idol.
The TV5 and Viu program featured Filipino celebrities Jodi Sta. Maria, Francine Diaz, Janella Salvador, and Chef JP Anglo in a pop-up restaurant in South Korea.
Arci said the show received positive feedback from viewers in several Asian countries and gained wider international exposure through streaming platforms.
She shared that Ji Chang-wook’s humility and friendliness helped her feel at ease and treat him as a colleague rather than just an idol.
Muñoz also said the experience taught her to give her best in every role and inspired her to encourage others to keep believing in their dreams.
