Ahead of the premiere of MBC's new variety show 'So-ra and Jin-kyung' on the 26th, a preview video was released showing the two sharing their heartfelt emotions.
The video captures the emotional reunion of the two after 15 years. As they faced each other after such a long time apart, tears were shed.
Approaching with a smile, Hong Jin-kyung called out to Lee So-ra, "Unni," as she moved closer.
She then tearfully said, "It seems like we've been through so much," to which Lee So-ra responded, "It was so hard to open up old wounds."
Ahead of their reunion, both shared their feelings. Hong Jin-kyung expressed, "I feel really strange. It's not uncomfortable, but I'm unsure what to say when I first meet you. It's really awkward."
Lee So-ra added, "It might feel bittersweet. During the time we lost, what did each of us go through? It might bring tears."
An awkward atmosphere lingered between them. Lee So-ra asked the silent Hong Jin-kyung, "Are you uncomfortable?" to which Hong Jin-kyung replied with a smile, "No."
They also discussed the time it took for them to meet again. In the video, they reminisced about their past gatherings and the reasons they gradually stopped meeting.
Hong Jin-kyung began, "As some may know, we had a group of close sisters." She continued, "From the late Choi Jin-sil, to (Lee) Young-ja, (Uhm) Jung-hwa, (Lee) So-ra, (Jung) Sun-hee, and me, the youngest."
She added, "We used to meet often, but we all went through significant events and became exhausted."
Lee So-ra recalled, "We all had tough times back then. We were all struggling and wanted to step away for a bit."
Hong Jin-kyung clarified, "There was no bad blood or fights. After that, we experienced so much pain. I don't know why, but we just drifted apart."
Meanwhile, MBC's new variety show 'So-ra and Jin-kyung' follows first-generation supermodels Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung as they challenge themselves once again on the runway, reliving the passion of their 20s.
The show premieres on the 26th at 9:10 PM.
