Rising star Cha Joo-young is heading to Hampyeong with Heo Young-man. She also expressed her deep trust and affection for Song Hye-kyo, with whom she formed a bond through 'The Glory'.
In today's (16th) evening broadcast of TV CHOSUN's 'Foodie Heo Young-man's Baekban Gihang' (hereafter Baekban Gihang), the main characters of the dramas 'The Glory' and 'Wonkyung', the rising star Cha Joo-young, will travel to Hampyeong, the land of butterflies.
Cha Joo-young, who has showcased her solid acting skills from the villain in 'The Glory' to the lead in 'Wonkyung', revealed that she appeared on 'Baekban Gihang' to keep her promise to her fans.
She has been making waves on social media with her delightful banter with fans who visited the filming site. After receiving a checklist of desired programs from her fans, she chose 'Baekban Gihang' as her top priority without hesitation, wanting to enjoy delicious food with a knowledgeable gourmet. The extraordinary love Cha Joo-young has for her fans, traveling all the way to Jeolla Province for them, will be revealed.
She also mentions Song Hye-kyo, with whom she has continued her connection from 'The Glory'. They have become friends who send each other generous compliments about their works. When foodie Heo Young-man, who binge-watched 'The Glory', says that Cha Joo-young reminds him of Song Hye-kyo, Cha Joo-young humbly responds, "No, she's really beautiful," showing her modesty. The foodie then adds a playful joke, asking, "Are you feeling insulted?" which brings laughter to the set. Cha Joo-young's flustered reaction to the foodie's teasing adds to her charm.
Cha Joo-young and the foodie go on a quest across the country to find the best red bean porridge, visiting the famous 'Red Bean Enthusiast' who serves new-style red bean porridge.
After tasting the porridge made with the optimal recipe discovered after three years of research, Cha Joo-young reportedly exclaimed, "It's worth coming all the way to Jeolla Province for this taste," praising it throughout the meal. Additionally, they visit a Chinese restaurant that has been a staple for over 40 years and a chicken course restaurant that prepares the chicken immediately upon order.
