Hong Jin-kyung reveals new love after divorce on 'Manito Club'.
On the October 15th episode of MBC's variety show 'Manito Club', stars Jung Hae-in, Go Yoon-jung, Park Myung-soo, Hong Jin-kyung, Kim Do-hoon, and Chef Yoon Nam-no teamed up to prepare late-night snacks for 60 firefighters at Bucheon Fire Station.
Park Myung-soo, upon arrival, complimented Go Yoon-jung, saying, "You looked really pretty with bangs at the Chanel fashion show. You're my favorite actress." Yoon Nam-no, seeing this, urged him to get back to work, to which Park humorously responded, "How can a kid my son's age say 'busy' to me?"
Hong Jin-kyung, joining late after finishing her schedule, apologized, "Sorry for being late." While Park Myung-soo scolded her for not being quick, he warmly greeted Kim Do-hoon with a hug.
Hong was assigned to make seafood kalguksu by Chef Yoon Nam-no. When Yoon said, "It's your responsibility," Park jokingly threatened, "I'll post on social media that Park Myung-soo's grilled short ribs were made by Jung Hae-in." Jung replied, "I feel the pressure," to which Yoon added, "Everyone has responsibilities today. If we reveal it, it's not a Manito."
Park Myung-soo and Hong Jin-kyung's playful banter added humor to the show. Watching Jung Hae-in and Go Yoon-jung's beautiful scene, Park teased Hong, "I'm not interested in you, Hong!"
Hong responded, "I think you like me. You've been paying attention since earlier. Don't like me. I have someone I'm seeing. Stay out of it, mister."
Park replied, "I have an eye for people. Just work. Separate love and work," yet confidently added, "Should I make you fall head over heels?" Hong retorted, "This is ridiculous. My fists are crying. Stop flirting with me, mister."
During the preparation of 60 servings of handmade noodles, Park lightly touched Hong's hand, attempting to flirt, prompting Hong to comment, "You must be really lonely. You seem to miss human touch."
Meanwhile, Hong Jin-kyung revealed that she had amicably divorced her businessman husband, who is five years her senior, in August 2025, after 22 years of marriage since 2003.
