Hong Jin-kyung's Daughter Rael Declares 'No More English Lessons' Ahead of Paris Trip

Hong Jin-kyung seeks English tutoring help from her daughter Rael as she prepares for a trip to Paris. However, Rael, who has taken on the role of her mother's English teacher, suddenly decides to stop the lessons, sparking curiosity about the reasons behind her decision.

In the second episode of the MBC variety show 'Sora and Jin-kyung' (directed by Kang Seong-ah, Jang Ha-rin, Yoon Dong-wook, written by Shin Jae-kyung), airing on the 3rd, Hong Jin-kyung prepares for an English interview with her daughter Rael in anticipation of a meeting with a Paris agency. Rael, who is studying abroad, is proficient in four languages, including English. It was previously revealed that she fluently interpreted for her mother during a U.S. business meeting on Hong Jin-kyung's personal channel, which garnered attention.

Rael, recruited as a top-notch teacher, first observes her mother's interview demeanor and points out her lack of confidence. She advises her mother to "Love yourself," offering tips on self-assurance in true Gen Z fashion.

Just as Rael is fully immersed in her role as a passionate teacher, the situation takes a turn due to her 'entertainer mom' Hong Jin-kyung. Distracted by her mother's antics and inability to focus on studying, Rael eventually declares, "I'm not doing this anymore!" and halts the lessons. The anticipation builds around whether Hong Jin-kyung can win back her daughter's support and complete her English interview preparation.

Despite meticulous preparations, including diet management, walking practice, and English study, the first hurdle to Paris looms large. After sending their portfolio and walking video to the Paris agency, Hong Jin-kyung and Lee So-ra face silence, raising the stakes on whether they will receive a response and board the flight to Paris. This will be a key highlight of the second episode.

The dynamic between Hong Jin-kyung and her daughter Rael over English lessons, along with their challenging journey towards the Paris runway, can be seen in the second episode of 'Sora and Jin-kyung,' airing on Sunday, the 3rd, at 9:10 PM.
