Chef Kwon Sung Joon, who won 300 million Korean Won ($218,600) on Netflix's "Culinary Class Wars," revealed how he spent his prize money on the Oct. 16 episode of tvN's "You Quiz on the Block."

The 29-year-old chef, also known as Napoli Mafia, shared that instead of splurging, he used the amount to “secure a rental home next to my restaurant so that I could stay focused on my restaurant.”

He also expressed his surprise at winning the competition but noted, “I also feel like I could win again if I competed."
