Heartfelt Moments and Surprising Twists Await on 'Hwang Shin-hye's Living Together'

Hwang Shin-hye's mother reveals her concerns about her granddaughter being hurt by her parents' divorce.

On the upcoming episode of KBS1's 'Hwang Shin-hye's Living Together,' airing on the 18th at 7:40 PM, viewers will witness the heartfelt stories of Hwang Shin-hye, Jang Yoon-jung, and Jung Ga-eun's mothers. The show captures the lives of celebrity single moms living together, showcasing their struggles and triumphs.

In last week's episode, Hwang Shin-hye, Jang Yoon-jung, and Jung Ga-eun met with their mothers for the first time. Hwang Shin-hye asked the mothers about their happiest moments, to which they unanimously responded with 'the birth of their granddaughters.' They also shared their constant worry about their granddaughters being affected by their parents' divorce. Hwang Shin-hye's mother, in particular, expressed how she always showered her granddaughter, Lee Jin, with love to fill the void left by her father. Hwang Shin-hye married her first husband in 1987, divorcing after nine months, and later had her daughter Lee Jin with her second husband in 1999, before divorcing in 2005.

The mothers' most painful memory was their daughters' divorces. Jang Yoon-jung's mother confessed her worries about her daughter bearing the weight of being the head of the family alone after her divorce, a sentiment that resonated with Jung Ga-eun, who was moved to tears.

This episode will feature the 'Mother-Daughter Entertainment Center' hosted by 'Hwang Shin-hye's Living Together.' The first game, 'Thigh Wrestling,' seems advantageous for Jang Yoon-jung's mother, known for her strong lower body, but Hwang Shin-hye's mother surprises everyone with her unexpected strength, making the competition exciting.

The second game, 'Speed Quiz,' tests the synergy between mothers and daughters. The mothers show their competitive spirit from the start, leading to unexpected situations. Hwang Shin-hye is shocked by her mother's unconventional answers, creating a tense yet humorous atmosphere.

The three mother-daughter pairs also enjoy a night outing, basking in the winter light festival, which brings out the youthful joy in the mothers, much to their daughters' delight. During one-on-one mother-daughter dates, they share conversations they hadn't had before. Jung Ga-eun and her mother express excitement over their time together, while the daughter expresses gratitude for her mother's sacrifices.

Meanwhile, Jang Yoon-jung's mother reflects on her strict past and apologizes to her daughter. Jang Yoon-jung acknowledges her mother's role in her success as Miss Korea, expressing heartfelt gratitude. Hwang Shin-hye, contemplating the inevitable farewell with her mother, sheds tears, revealing her deep concern for her mother's health.

The day filled with laughter and tears among the three mother-daughter pairs can be seen on the 18th at 7:40 PM on KBS1's 'Hwang Shin-hye's Living Together.'
