K-Pop idols often live together with their group, if they're part of one or live alone. In that case, a very real problem becomes that of food - sometimes feeding one and sometimes 10. Cooking becomes an essential skill to have in order to survive hours of training and scheduled activities. It is no surprise that idols have to spend all day working tirelessly and lack of proper nutrition could deteriorate their health. As such, here are some idols that have excelled time and time again in cooking and quite possibly made some long nights better.

1. NCT TAEYONG

Taeyong is singlehandedly the resident chef of the NCT dorms. Not only is he extremely skilled as a chef but he also loves cooking for his members. There have been numerous cooking shows and variety shows where NCT has participated and every single time, Taeyong has swept the floor as the best chef. He's incredibly organised and always likes to keep his station clean - all qualities of a master chef. After all, he's gotta feed the Dream kids!

2. SUPER JUNIOR LEETEUK

There's a reason that Super Junior's Leeteuk was chosen as the MC for the cooking variety show, 'The Best Cooking Secrets' and it is not surprising at all. Leeteuk picked up a lot of skills, tips and tricks from professional chefs on the show and soon started cooking for himself. Recently he even published his very own cookbook titled aptly as 'Lee Teuk Cook Book' where he lists out and explains recipes for easy but delicious home cooking.

3. RED VELVET WENDY

It is a quite well known fact among Reveluvs that Wendy loves to bake and she's really good at it too. What beautiful coincidence is the fact that Wendy is a part of Red Velvet and she loves to bake! She once baked a walnut pie for BoA who posted about it in appreciation of how good it was. She often bakes sweet treats for the members. However, baking is not all she does. She's also an expert in regular meals and is truly the best chef in the group.

4. EXO D.O

EXO's amazing D.O has stated multiple times that were he not an idol, he would definitely pursue the career of a chef. Now despite his immensely successful career as a musician, he still shows a knack for cooking. He's famous for his keen nose and can even figure out the ingredients from a taste test. Face genius, musical genius and a chef - D.O is truly a triple threat.

5. BTS JIN AND SUGA

Both of BTS' hyungs are experts at cooking and eating to that point that Jin even had a mukbang type program 'Eat Jin'. Both of them are often seen in the kitchen, cooking up a storm for the other members. In their recent variety show, 'In the Soop', Jin is seen making his own sashimi and Suga is almost always the one collecting ingredients and cooking the main meals for the day. Is there anything they can't do?

6. HENRY LAO

The violin maestro and overall super performer is also a great chef! His technique is flawless and whenever he cooks, the lucky people getting to witness it are always in awe. When he was cast for the lead role of the movie Final Recipe, he was trained by top chefs where he learned impressive skills and recipes in the kitchen with his specialty being Chinese dishes.

7. SHINEee KEY

In his free time from being a full time superstar, Key takes to the kitchen to cook. He starred on his own show for Mnet titled 'Key's Knowhow' where he teaches viewers how to cook all kinds of dishes like green curry. He's also known for making great bento boxes which sounds even more adorable!
