Hwang Shin-hye Reminisces First Love on 'Living Together with Hwang Shin-hye'

Hwang Shin-hye brings back memories of her first love in the show 'Living Together with Hwang Shin-hye', which captures the lives of single moms in the entertainment industry living together.

Welcoming spring, three single moms embark on their first outing in Seoul. Hwang Shin-hye, who planned the day's itinerary, arranged a cooking class with Sun Mi-ja, a culinary researcher beloved by top stars and known as the 'Queen of Home Cooking'. The trio begins learning how to make 'Soy Sauce Braised Pork', a dish perfect for spring. They express their determination to master the dish to serve it to their guests. The 'Soy Sauce Braised Pork', known for its tender texture akin to Korean-style Dongpo Pork, is completed along with three side dishes. The single moms prepare a full meal by making wild chive & leek salad, aged kimchi salad, and garlic fried rice to complement the main dish.

The second activity for the single moms is a flower class. Discovering that the world-famous K-pop group 'BTS' also took a flower class there, they choose their favorite BTS member while sitting in the same seats. They plan to create bouquets for their loved ones and learn techniques from conditioning flowers to arranging them in a spiral. Hwang Shin-hye, at 62 and newly single, humorously adds more flowers than needed, causing her hand to cramp. Despite not being fond of flowers and often refusing floral gifts from her daughter, Lee Jin-yi, she finds joy in discovering a new preference through the class.

For their final activity, two of the moms visit Daehak-ro to support Jung Ga-eun's play. While enjoying street snacks in the youthful district, Hwang Shin-hye reminisces about her first love who attended a nearby university and recalls youthful dates in Daehak-ro. At the theater, they are impressed by Jung Ga-eun's performance as a flight attendant, especially her comedic kiss scene, which draws laughter and admiration. The outing concludes with heartfelt compliments for Jung Ga-eun, making the Seoul trip even more memorable.

The first Seoul outing of the three single moms can be seen on March 25th, Wednesday at 7:40 PM on KBS1's 'Living Together with Hwang Shin-hye'.
