Park Joon Woo is a South Korean-Belgian cook and food columnist. He was born in South Korea but moved to Belgium when he was 18 due to his father's military deployment. He dropped out of the Modern Languages program in college and then worked as a sculptor for over a year before quitting.

He took a 5-month course and learned basic cooking skills but then became interested in learning more about the country's food culture and began writing a blog about it.

He returned to South Korea after 10 years abroad but was disappointed with the food culture and thought about returning to Belgium. However, he decided to stay and applied for "Masterchef Korea Season 1". He was nearly eliminated in the earlier rounds, but he managed to survive and ended up in 2nd place.

He later opened a café that was successful for several years and later opened a wine bar. He occasionally appears on cooking shows.
