In KBS 2TV's 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant', which airs on the 15th, Myung Se-bin invites Kim Mi-kyung, an actress she respects. Myung Se-bin prepares a Korean table setting filled with sincerity as much as her gratitude towards Kim Mi-kyung. Kim Mi-kyung is grateful and tells an honest and pleasant story.

Myeong Se-bin prepared dishes for Kim Mi-kyung that made her mouth water just by looking at them, including gondre pot rice, barley gulbi, Udae ribs, and makgeolli bossam. Kim Mi-kyung tasted each one and exclaimed, “It’s so pretty,” and “It’s really delicious.” He also revealed that he was a fan of ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ and cheered for Myung Se-bin to win.

Then, an honest conversation between the two began. Kim Mi-kyung played the role of mother to many top actors in various works, including Jang Na-ra, Kim Tae-hee, Choi Kang-hee, Park Shin-hye, Gong Hyo-jin, Park Min-young, and Jung Yu-mi. Her deep maternal acting gave us a warm feeling, and naturally, Kim Mi-kyung was given the title of 'nation's mother.'

Kim Mi-kyung said, “It’s been a long time, but I still have friends I keep in touch with. I think I become friends with people I can communicate with, regardless of their age. “I am 18 years older than Jang Na-ra, but Jang Na-ra is a very deep person.” Regarding Park Shin-hye, who appeared as the daughter in ‘The Heirs’, “From then on, we were mother and daughter. “I still call her mom,” he said. Kim Mi-kyung then confessed her feelings about being called 'nation's mother' and the good things about having so many actress daughters, creating a heartwarming experience.

Myung Se-bin is surprised by Kim Mi-kyung's incredible extreme hobbies. Kim Mi-kyung says she enjoys skydiving, scuba diving, and biking. He said he especially likes bungee jumping and said, “I hate it the most when people say I can’t do it because of my age. “I think you should do what you want to do while you are even a year younger,” he says. He also recommends a special extreme hobby to Myung Se-bin, making her laugh.
