On the recent episode of KBS 2TV's 'New Release, Pyeonstorang' aired on the 5th, actress Moon Jung-hee invited her long-time friends Park Sol-mi and Park Hyo-joo.
Moon Jung-hee prepared for her guests by visiting the oil market early in the morning. Upon the arrival of her friends, she announced, "Making dumplings is a rule in our house," setting a fun challenge for them.
Park Hyo-joo admitted, "I've never made dumplings properly," showing a hint of nervousness. Moon Jung-hee reassured her by mentioning, "Hyo-joo's husband is a great cook," revealing that Park Hyo-joo's husband is a renowned chef.
Park Sol-mi, who shares a 20-year friendship with Moon Jung-hee, reminisced, "My first movie was with her. It was 'Dance with the Wind' (2004), and back then, I thought she was a bit of a wild child."
She confessed, "I was discouraged because she was such a great dancer," recalling Moon Jung-hee's impressive 27-year salsa career, which even included professional dancing. Moon Jung-hee still hasn't given up dancing.
Feeling the stark difference in their skills, Park Sol-mi shared, "After filming, she would go out dancing like a moth to a flame, while I went home dreaming of being a perfect housewife," highlighting their contrasting personalities.
Moon Jung-hee explained, "Sol-mi didn't have to dance well for her role, but I played a seductive character, so I had to be good at dancing."
Park Hyo-joo shared her first impression of Moon Jung-hee, describing her as "exemplary." The two had worked together on 'Air City,' playing a National Intelligence Service agent and an airport doctor, respectively. Park Sol-mi admired, "She must really immerse herself in her roles. She's different every time I see her."
Meanwhile, MC Boom announced that 'Pyeonstorang,' which first aired on October 25, 2019, has reached its 300th episode. He noted, "With 43 'Pyeon-chefs' participating, the show has released 96 convenience store products and ready-to-eat meals.
