Kang Soo-jeong "I don't want to be criticized so I correct my chopsticks"
On the 8th, a video titled ‘Delicious Tokyo Gourmet Tour / Shabu Shabu vs. Sukiyaki’ was posted on Kang Soo-jeong’s YouTube channel.
This time, Kang Soo-jeong accompanied her son to a shabu-shabu restaurant in Tokyo that she had fond memories of with her husband. Kang Soo-jeong explained to her son, “Mom and Dad went there when they were young.”
When the first dish, sesame tofu, was served, Kang Soo-jeong said, “I’ve always liked this dish, so I made it special just for me.” Kang Soo-jeong brought the camera closer to show the food in more detail, but the focus was not good. He had a hard time asking, “How do you do this?” When her son joked, “Mom, you’re overdoing it,” Kang Soo-jeong said, “It’s hard to find laughter and the life of a YouTuber is difficult.”
Kang Soo-jeong, who ate the sesame tofu, said, “It’s chewy and delicious,” and “But the wasabi makes it spicy, so it’s spicy.” When her son teased her by saying, "I have a runny nose," Kang Soo-jeong continued to use chopsticks, saying, "I don't have a runny nose. It's just delicious."
Kang Soo-jeong, who had been eating for a while, asked her husband with concern, "Are you eating? I'm sure I'm eating with my son (I can't eat)." My son looked at the meat scaffolding and said, “It’s like tasteless gum.” Kang Soo-jeong couldn't hold back her laughter, saying, "It was an accurate expression."
Kang Soo-jeong felt sorry for her husband, who was unable to eat well because he was taking care of himself and her son, saying, "I should give you some for my brother. I think he ate too little." He then said to his son, “Dad, you keep grilling meat on hot shabu-shabu, and if you talk about us, your hands get burned.” Then I ate shabu noodles. Kang Soo-jeong boasted to her son, saying, “Mom, I’m good at eating hot food.” Regarding her son, who was showing off his playful side throughout the filming of a video of him eating, Kang Soo-jeong made people laugh by saying, "My son is so greedy about appearing on the show that I don't know how much I'll be able to appear in."
After leaving the restaurant, Kang Soo-jeong stopped by the stationery store she visited when she was living in Japan. He explained about this stationery store, “It’s 46 years old.” Kang Soo-jeong bought school supplies such as a sketchbook, colored pencils, stampers, and scissors for her son. Kang Soo-jeong was confused, saying, "I'm having a sale to say thank you for 46 years. 46 years. Is that my age? For heaven's sake, we were the same age." Then, she changed her words and said, "No, I have to say only. She's 45 years old. She was my sister," causing laughter. Kang Soo-jeong suddenly realized that her son and husband were nowhere to be seen, and they went out to look for them again.
Kang Soo-jeong's family next visited a sukiyaki restaurant. After sukiyaki, I had egg rice bowl. Kang Soo-jeong explained, “It’s cooked quickly, like an egg cooked with residual heat, and comes out quickly,” adding, “It’s soft and delicious.” He also explained, "In Korea, you would be scolded for eating while holding a rice bowl, but here they don't give you a spoon. If you want to eat with chopsticks, it's okay to hold a light and small bowl. It can't be helped."
Kang Soo-jeong also confessed her difficulties due to malicious comments. Kang Soo-jeong said, "I was originally not good at using chopsticks," and added, "But I corrected myself because of the broadcast. I didn't want to get criticized because I was caught using chopsticks a lot on the broadcast. Now I'm very good at it."
Kang Soo-jeong, born in 1977, joined KBS as an announcer for the 28th open recruitment in 2002 and left the company in 2006. Kang Soo-jeong married a financial industry worker in 2008 and has a son. Currently living in Hong Kong, he divides his time between Hong Kong and Korea.
