Youngja Lee held the inauguration ceremony for the Hwarohoe.
In the 231st episode of MBC's entertainment program 'Point of Omniscient Interfere' (hereinafter referred to as 'Point of Omniscient Interfere'), which aired on the 21st, the daily life of Lee Young-ja, who spent a heart-warming time with hopefuls in 2023, was depicted.
Youngja Lee launched the ‘1st English Fireplace’ project in earnest in 2023. Nam Chang-hee, Yoon Seong-ho, Kim In-seok, and So-young, who all went to a nice restaurant in Yangyang, Gangwon-do after receiving an invitation from Lee Young-ja, finished the warm-up for the 'Hirohoe' mukbang, starting with Lee Young-ja's pollack roe, dried pollack, and rice cake soup. Lee Young-ja gave a warm feeling to those who came forward by introducing herself as 'a newtro rookie who will receive attention in 2023'.
YouTuber Soyoung, the first runner in the 'History Association', heated up the atmosphere by opening Namyangju Korean Beef. In addition, Youngja Lee quickly created 'basil kimchi' that surpasses green onion kimchi, capturing the attention of observers. While Lee Young-ja went to make basil kimchi, the manager and So-young couldn't resist the temptation of salchisal and couldn't hide their happiness as they ate it. Those who tasted the mysterious ‘Basil Kimchi’ were impressed. Jeon Hyun-moo, who was watching this, showed an obsession with the special sauce recipe. In response, Lee Young-ja said, "I got hurt once when I was playing Green Onion Kimchi," and warned Jeon Hyun-moo, making the studio burst into laughter.
Nam Chang-hee presented a button mushroom pizza that does not require dough, and Yoon Seong-ho played an incense flute while the button mushroom pizza was cooking, livening up the atmosphere of the ‘1st Youngja Fire House’. Kim In-seok prepared unique menu items such as rice cake skewers and persimmon sauce, and the members fell in love with the sweetness of nature.
Youngja Lee revealed Dongchimi, a 50-year-old craftsman who can only eat it for one month in the winter, as the finale food for the '1st Youngja Hwarohoe', stimulating the salivary glands of the attendees. Members who tried 'Dongchimi noodles' with gamtae noodles and cool dongchimi were impressed by the taste, which was reminiscent of natural cider.
Early in the morning, when everyone was deeply asleep, Lee Young-ja set out to make 'Roasted Chestnut Soup'. Youngja Lee put all the ingredients and finely ground roasted chestnuts in milk and boiled them for a while, then opened the window and let the fragrant smell spread into Yangyang's 'Meot House'. The members, who opened their eyes to the new concept of 'Food Alarm', fell in love with the taste of the hearty roasted chestnut soup, causing viewers' mouths to drool.
The members who appeared on the sea at dawn looked at the powerful sunrise and made their own wishes for the new year, and successfully concluded the '1st English Fireplace' by giving a strong New Year's greeting to the viewers.
According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership rating research agency, the 231st episode of 'All-Time' ranked first among entertainment programs in the same time slot, including 2049 viewership ratings, a key indicator of channel competitiveness, as well as household viewership ratings in the metropolitan area and nationwide.
