Kim Mi-kyung expressed her happiness at being able to become the 'mother' of many top actresses.
In KBS 2TV's 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' broadcast on the 15th, Myung Se-bin invited actress Kim Mi-kyung.
Myeong Se-bin prepared a Korean table setting filled with sincerity as much as her gratitude towards Kim Mi-kyung. Kim Mi-kyung was grateful and told an honest and pleasant story.
Myeong Se-bin made dishes for Kim Mi-kyung that made her mouth water just by looking at them, including gondre pot rice, barley gulbi, Udae ribs, and makgeolli bossam. Kim Mi-kyung tasted each one and exclaimed, “It’s so pretty” and “It’s really delicious.”
As they ate delicious food together, their conversation began to blossom. Myung Se-bin recalled the time of filming 'Doctor Cha Jeong-sook' and said, "It was unfamiliar to me as it was my first time playing the role of an adulterous woman. I was burdened and worried, but then I went to see my senior (Kim Mi-kyung)." He then expressed his gratitude, saying, “I was so relieved when my senior told me I did a good job.” Myung Se-bin also expressed her gratitude once again at the ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ studio, saying, “It’s reassuring to know that there are seniors like that, and it makes me want to be like them. A role model.”
Myung Se-bin said, “Most of Korea’s top actresses worked with you.” Kim Mi-kyung agreed, “I have a ton of daughters.” Kim Mi-kyung played the role of mother to many top actors in various works, including Jang Na-ra, Kim Tae-hee, Choi Kang-hee, Park Shin-hye, Gong Hyo-jin, Park Min-young, and Jung Yu-mi. Her deep maternal acting gave us a warm feeling, and naturally, Kim Mi-kyung was given the title of 'nation's mother.'
Regarding Park Shin-hye, who appeared as the daughter in 'The Heirs', Kim Mi-kyung said, "I ran into Shin-hye earlier during the day. She was the daughter in 'The Heirs', and from then on, we are mother and daughter. I still call her mom." He also said, “It’s been a long time, but I still have friends I keep in touch with. I think I become friends with people I can communicate with, regardless of their age.” Regarding Jang Na-ra, who is 18 years older than him, he praised, "Jang Na-ra and I are really like mother and daughter. Jang Na-ra is such a deep person that you might think she's an 80-year-old old man."
Kim Mi-kyung's house is a hideout for many daughters. Kim Mi-kyung said, "There are children who call my husband 'dad'. (In reality) I have one daughter, and my daughter has many pretty sisters. My daughter likes it too."
Myung Se-bin was also surprised by Kim Mi-kyung's incredible extreme hobbies. Kim Mi-kyung said that she enjoys skydiving, scuba diving, and biking. He said he especially likes bungee jumping and said, "I hate it when people say I can't do it because of my age. I think you should do what you want while you're even a year younger." Kim Mi-kyung also recommended extreme hobbies to Myung Se-bin, making her laugh.
