Chef Triple Star, a finalist from Netflix’s popular cooking show Culinary Class Wars, has recently been embroiled in a string of controversies involving allegations from former partners. Born Kang Seung Won, the culinary star quickly gained popularity for his cooking prowess and striking appearance, but he now faces serious accusations from his ex-wife and a former girlfriend, including double-dating, ghosting, and threats.
Marriage Breakdown and Accusations from Ex-Wife
The controversy began when Chef Triple Star’s ex-wife, identified only as A, approached Dispatch with claims about their short-lived marriage and the events that led to their split. According to A, she and Kang Seung Won married in May 2022, but the relationship ended in divorce just three months later. While Kang claims he was given no reason for the divorce, A asserts that their issues ran much deeper.
A recounted how they initially met in London in 2014, where Kang was then a struggling culinary student. She claimed she supported him through financial and professional challenges, using her connections to help him secure positions at prestigious restaurants. A highlighted one specific instance where she allegedly went to great lengths to get him an opportunity at the Michelin-starred restaurant Benu in San Francisco. She reportedly sought help from her contacts, even gifting two Chanel bags to her friends, X and Y, who had industry ties that helped Kang get his foot in the door.
Although A believes her efforts were pivotal in his career, Kang disagrees, stating that while he knew of the Chanel bags, he secured his unpaid internship at Benu through personal initiative and skill. However, he was eventually hired full-time after proving his capabilities.
Long-Distance and Loyalty Issues
According to A, they faced several loyalty issues throughout their relationship, especially during a year-long period of long-distance dating between 2016 and 2017. She claims that even after returning to South Korea, Kang allegedly engaged with other women, and rumors circulated that he had been involved with a man, though Dispatch withheld further details on this matter. During moments of relationship strain, Kang reportedly wrote long letters to A, admitting past indiscretions and promising to change. However, he denies A’s claims, insisting that they are untrue.
New Allegations of Ghosting and Two-Timing
The situation intensified when another woman, referred to as B, came forward with her own allegations against Kang. According to B, they dated for about four months, though Kang claims their relationship lasted only one to two months. B reported that he suddenly stopped communicating with her, an action often referred to as “ghosting.” She later discovered that during their time together, he had been dating someone else, and shortly afterward, she learned of his marriage to A.
Dispatch obtained a screenshot of messages purportedly from Kang to B, sent while the media outlet was preparing to publish her account. The texts hint at him attempting to manage his public image in light of these emerging claims, though details of the conversations remain unclear.
Threat Allegation Against A’s New Partner
In an especially shocking twist, Dispatch shared additional allegations of threatening behavior from Kang. A disclosed that he allegedly sent her a message upon learning she had a new boyfriend, reportedly threatening to “stab him to death.” When questioned, Kang initially denied any knowledge of the message, suggesting it may have been edited. He later said that if he did send such a message, it was likely in a moment of anger and that he does not see himself as someone prone to making threats.
Chef Triple Star’s growing fanbase has been caught off-guard by these allegations, sparking heated debates and raising concerns over his future in the industry. The reality show star, who rose to fame so quickly, now faces intense public scrutiny and significant reputational risks. For many, the situation is still developing, and how Kang chooses to address these accusations in the coming days could greatly impact his career.
