In the final episode of MBC's variety program 'Sora and Jin-kyung' aired on the 14th, Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung were shown walking the runway at a Paris fashion show.

When Lee Dong-hwi asked, "What was the first thought that came to you after finishing the show?" Hong Jin-kyung replied with a laugh, "I was so hungry that I thought I should eat something." She then added, "I even thought about Raell," revealing her affection for her daughter.

Watching this, Lee So-ra praised her, saying, "You were like a truly flexible swan," and Hong Jin-kyung etched her dream of walking the runway, achieved after 30 years, into her heart.
