The new variety show 'Sora and Jinkyung' captures the journey of first-generation models Lee Sora and Hong Jinkyung as they return to the runway in their 50s, reigniting the passion they had in their 20s.
The first teaser, released on the 1st, highlights the reunion of the two after 15 years, showcasing their complex emotions as they embark on a project to challenge themselves as models once again. Despite being famous friends in the entertainment industry, Lee Sora and Hong Jinkyung had not met for over 15 years. Before facing each other, they discuss the past that was difficult to share.
"There was a gathering, but we all had tough times," says Lee Sora, while Hong Jinkyung adds, "Everyone was exhausted, and we just drifted apart." Although they reached the top in their respective fields, they couldn't be there for each other during challenging times.
Meeting after 15 years, Lee Sora and Hong Jinkyung express mixed feelings of excitement and nervousness, saying, "Won't it be a bit emotional? We might cry." When they finally meet, they share in trembling voices, "It seems we've been through so much," and "It was so hard to open up about the wounds," showing mutual understanding.
The production team stated, "This program not only captures the reunion of Lee Sora and Hong Jinkyung after 15 years but also their professional preparation to return to the runway, offering viewers meaningful moments and entertainment."
