On that day, Ki Eun-se said, “I started gaining attention on social media, and I think of it as a lifeline.” Through her revealed daily life, it became clear why she became a hot star on social media. Born in 1983, Ki Eun-se, now 42 years old, boasted stunning youthful beauty that was hard to believe, even without makeup from the morning. After brewing a cup of coffee, Ki Eun-se began her facial muscle exercises, which she claimed is one of her secrets to looking young.
What caught attention next was Ki Eun-se’s ‘maximalist’ house filled with her tastes and sensibilities. Her home was filled with stylish interior decor and furniture, resembling a photo shoot set. The dining area featured a spacious island perfect for cooking and an 8-person dining table tailored for Ki Eun-se, who loves to host guests. The neatly organized cooking tools and ingredients were also impressive.
Ki Eun-se’s incredible cooking skills, dubbed the ‘Queen of Home Parties’ and ‘Gis Michelin Guide’, were also astonishing. Known for cooking a variety of cuisines including Korean, Western, Chinese, Mediterranean, and desserts, Ki Eun-se made lasagna with her homemade sauce from the morning. Particularly, her cooking sense stood out as she added Korean flavors to Western dishes in her own way. The plating that elevated the quality of her dishes was also top-notch. Additionally, Ki Eun-se mentioned that she has been into a low-carb, high-fat diet and shared delicious low-carb diet recipes.
On that day, Ki Eun-se invited her respected actress Jeon In-hwa and prepared six courses at home. The menu included Italian-style braised short ribs, her signature dish of wild chive vongole pasta, and cuttlefish ink croquettes. As Ki Eun-se created simple yet elegant dishes, the anticipation for Jeon In-hwa’s appearance heightened.
Ki Eun-se candidly mentioned her divorced life, saying, “It’s been 2 years since I lived alone.” Whenever something she wanted to emphasize came up, she struck a lovely heart pose towards the camera, saying “KEE point,” but she would shyly laugh and say, “Why do I do that?” every time she saw her heart pose in the VCR. With her endless charm that keeps unfolding, Ki Eun-se’s activities that turned ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ upside down are highly anticipated.
