BABYMONSTER's Rora Revealed as Child Chef from 2018 Lifetime Show

Lee Da-in, a member of BABYMONSTER known as Rora, has attracted attention after it was revealed that she appeared as a child chef on the American Lifetime channel's cooking variety show 'Man VS Child' in July 2018. During the program, the young Da-in demonstrated impressive culinary skills in cooking battles against famous chefs. Notably in episode 2, she faced off against Chef Lee Yeon-bok, whom she had specifically chosen as "the chef I really want to beat," competing in a corn kernel removal challenge. Before the contest, Rora confidently stated, "My paternal grandmother farms corn, so I've shelled it with her." Initially, using a fork, she removed corn kernels faster than Chef Lee and performed impressively. However, when Chef Lee abandoned his tools and accelerated using his bare hands, Rora appeared flustered. She even asked for help with a cute expression, but Chef Lee remained focused solely on the corn, drawing laughter from the audience. This footage has garnered attention among fans as a valuable record of Rora's childhood appearance and growth process.
