Baek Jong Won has been spotted in France, generating a lot of attention from online users regarding his involvement in the next season of tvN's 'The Genius Paik.' Although the third season was scheduled for this year, its exact premiere date is still uncertain, likely due to the controversies surrounding Baek Jong Won.

A picture of him cooking overseas is circulating rapidly online, triggering various responses from netizens who are shocked, surprised, or indifferent to his presence.
