In ‘Pyeon Restaurant’, Hong Ji-yoon is seen shedding tears in front of Kim Yeon-ja.
In the episode airing on the 28th, KBS2’s ‘New Launch Pyeon Restaurant’ (hereafter ‘Pyeon Restaurant’) features trot singer Hong Ji-yoon challenging herself as the first intern chef. Attention is drawn to the reason why the representative of the entertainment industry, who is not good at cooking, decided to take on the intern chef challenge, and whether she can successfully complete it. Additionally, it is expected that singer Kim Yeon-ja will reveal her heartfelt feelings for her beloved junior, Hong Ji-yoon.
In the released VCR, Hong Ji-yoon decided to take on the challenge as the ‘first intern chef’. Her first mission was to prepare a ‘guest invitation dish’. The difficulty level was so high that everyone in the ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ family showed concern. However, Hong Ji-yoon expressed her determination, saying, “I invited someone I really admire and respect. I wanted to treat them well.”
The respected senior that Hong Ji-yoon invited was singer Kim Yeon-ja, who is celebrating her 50th anniversary since her debut this year. Although Hong Ji-yoon made efforts, such as creating a recipe notebook, the cooking process was chaotic due to her lack of cooking skills. After finally finishing her dish, Kim Yeon-ja's reaction to tasting it was beyond imagination, surprising everyone.
Kim Yeon-ja unexpectedly asked Hong Ji-yoon, “Are you dating?” which flustered her. Hong Ji-yoon also asked, “Aren’t you getting married, teacher?” out of curiosity. It is known that Kim Yeon-ja has been in a relationship for 15 years. She confidently stated, “I have a boyfriend! I’m not thinking about marriage!” The protagonist of Kim Yeon-ja's hit song ‘Amor Fati’, famous for the lyrics ‘Dating is a must, marriage is a choice’, is none other than Kim Yeon-ja herself.
On this day, while having a deep conversation with Kim Yeon-ja, Hong Ji-yoon shed tears. Kim Yeon-ja, as well as the ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ family watching the VCR, were all surprised and could not hide their sympathy. Attention is focused on the reason why Hong Ji-yoon cried.
‘Pyeon Restaurant’ will air on the 28th at 8:30 PM.
