Actress Yang Jung-a announced that she decided to appear on 'Let's Live Together' at the invitation of her close friend Hwang Shin-hye.

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 village hall in Naengjeong 1-ri, Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province. Actors Hwang Shin-hye and Yang Jung-a, chef Shin Gye-sook, and CP Lee Seon-hee attended.

Regarding her role in 'Let's Live Together', Yang Jung-a said, "I've been assigned the youngest role. I used to boss around my younger siblings, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this will unfold."

Yang Jung-a added, "The villagers welcomed us warmly. At first, we lived together in the village hall, and it was easy for us to become close. The first filming was done in a warm atmosphere."

When asked about her reason for joining the program, Yang Jung-a shared, "I'm over 50 years old and have mostly lived with my parents. I dreamed of living independently, but as life went on, I lived without feeling lonely with my family. My father has passed away, and my mother is currently very unwell and hospitalized. I thought it would be very lonely and difficult for me to live alone in this world."

She continued, "When I was asked to join this program, Shin-hye unnie asked, 'How about we try it together?' We decided to film while enjoying the rest of our lives together, so I joined based on her advice."

Regarding what she wants to do in Pocheon, she said, "There are many people in Pocheon who are around my mother's age. I want to look after the people here as if they were my mother or family members and check on their well-being. I have never lived in the countryside, but I feel at peace and happy here."

'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 served as the host, and starting this year, Hwang Shin-hye has taken over as the host.

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

This season of 'Hwang Shin-hye's Let's Live Together' will showcase a vivid 'community living' experience by directly renovating an abandoned house in Pocheon and communicating 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, chef 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.
