Actress Hwang Shin-hye boasted about the great chemistry she shares with Yang Jung-a and Chef Shin Gye-sook, describing their trio as "perfectly kneaded dumplings."

On the morning of the 18th, a public viewing of the revamped KBS 1TV variety program "Hwang Shin-hye's Let's Live Together" (hereinafter "Let's Live Together") was held at the Naemyeong-ri Village Hall in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province. Actors Hwang Shin-hye, Yang Jung-a, Chef Shin Gye-sook, and CP Lee Sun-hee attended.

Hwang Shin-hye plans to renovate an abandoned house in Pocheon and stay there with Yang Jung-a and Shin Gye-sook whenever possible, filming for six months. Since the house is currently under renovation, she first stayed overnight at the village hall, saying, "It seems this place has good energy. It's comfortable and not unfamiliar; even when I go home, I want to come back here." She expressed her affection for the filming location.

In response, Chef Shin Gye-sook joked, "Isn't it because you like the people you're living with?" Hwang Shin-hye laughed and replied, "Of course."

Regarding the cast's chemistry, Hwang Shin-hye said, "I thought Yang Jung-a's honest and unpretentious demeanor would be perfect for a reality show. After working together, I realized there were parts of Jung-a I didn't know. The combination of the three of us is like perfectly kneaded dumplings."

On her first impression of Shin Gye-sook, Hwang Shin-hye revealed, "People around me would ask, 'Shin Gye-sook has a free-spirited character; will she be okay?' I also started with some preconceptions, but I feel like I've met a very good friend. Through 'Let's Live Together,' I feel it's great to meet good friends and build relationships. I'm also feeling that I'm growing and learning."

When asked what she wants to try in Pocheon, she said, "There are hardly any young people here. Many elderly people live alone. I want to take beautiful portrait photos of them. The elderly people say they rarely get makeup done. I also want to check their health and am considering various things."

Hwang Shin-hye shared her deep affection, saying, "I like this place so much that I brought a friend who lives in the United States here. I also took her to a delicious spicy fish stew nearby. It's a place I keep wanting to visit."

"Let's Live Together" is a long-running KBS program that has been on air for 10 years since December 2017. From 2017 until the end of 2025, actress Park Won-sook hosted the show, and starting this year, Hwang Shin-hye has taken over as host.

"Hwang Shin-hye's Let's Live Together" will meet viewers with a new concept starting on the 27th. Moving away from the existing "single mom" concept, the show will present a new form of "living together" that includes divorced singles and single individuals. Accordingly, existing cast members and "single moms" actress Jang Yoon-jung and actress Jeong Ga-eun have left the show, while new cast members include "single" chef Shin Gye-sook and actress Yang Jung-a.

This season of "Hwang Shin-hye's Let's Live Together" will showcase a vivid "living in the region" where Hwang Shin-hye directly renovates an abandoned house in Pocheon and communicates with local residents. In particular, the cheerful and real chemistry between Hwang Shin-hye's close friend Yang Jung-a and her same-age friend Shin Gye-sook will be a new viewing highlight.

"Hwang Shin-hye's Let's Live Together" airs every Wednesday at 7:40 p.m.
