Actor Kim Seon-ho detailed his approach to filming Coupang Play’s new feel-good unscripted series “Bonjour Bakery” during his first public appearance since tax evasion allegations surfaced earlier this year, saying he focused on serving the show’s older guests.
Kim attended a press conference for the show at Community House Masil in Jung District, Seoul, with Kim Hee-ae, Cha Seung-won, Lee Ki-taek, producer Park Geun-hyung and writer Kim Ran-joo.
“Bonjour Bakery,” which premieres Friday, is a comforting reality show set in a quiet rural village where a dessert cafe serves older guests. The program brings together seniors seasoned by life and bakery staff who "know the taste of happiness" to share comfort and warmth.
The show centers on an exclusive "Yes Senior Zone" cafe where entry is limited to people 65 and older and their companions.
Cha Seung-won and Lee Ki-taek work in the kitchen. Cha takes on French baking for the first time, while Lee brings light comic energy to the kitchen as the show presents a range of delicate desserts.
Kim Hee-ae leads the front-of-house team as the cafe’s general manager, bringing quiet authority. Kim Seon-ho works as a barista, treating the older guests with familial warmth.

The production brings together Park, who has worked on shows including “You Quiz on the Block” and “Korean Hostel in Spain,” and Kim Ran-joo as writer. Reflecting on the dynamic, Lee described the experience of working with such an experienced cast.
“There was tension, fun and happiness in spending each day with my veteran co-stars,” Lee said.
