Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung of "So-ra and Jin-kyung" successfully completed the Paris Fashion Week runway, moving forward with a new bond that made their 15-year gap seem insignificant.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, on the 15th, MBC's "So-ra and Jin-kyung" recorded a peak per-minute viewership rate of 4.7% the previous day. A scene in which Lee So-ra had a cheerful conversation with Paco, a local resident fluent in Korean, with the Eiffel Tower in the background, was named the "Best Minute."

The broadcast on this day finally depicted the final journey of Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung, who had finally reached their dream stage. Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung's Paris runway, which even decorated the official site of "Vogue France," was unveiled. Although it was a runway where they pushed themselves to their limits in their 20s, Lee So-ra, now in her 50s and having overcome her trauma, delivered a perfect walk with a firm and elegant aura that remained unshaken even among much younger active models. Hong Jin-kyung, who had left the modeling world without hesitation after enduring repeated failures, exuded the aura of her "main profession" and finally achieved her long-buried dream.

During a conversation between the two as they visited a Korean restaurant to fill their hungry stomachs all day, a touching behind-the-scenes story was revealed. It was only then that Hong Jin-kyung learned that Lee So-ra had passed the final selection for a campaign shoot but had given it up to accompany her on the runway. Moved by Lee So-ra's deep consideration, which she had not revealed until the show ended, news arrived that morning that both brands had passed their auditions. Both women left behind the remarkable record of passing two auditions.

Two days later, Hong Jin-kyung appeared at a private, small-scale show attended only by a select few key figures from a high-end brand. Although the venue was designed with a comfortable, living-room-like atmosphere to allow the audience to view the models up close, it was a runway that made the models even more nervous. Nevertheless, Hong Jin-kyung calmly and elegantly handled two looks once again. At that moment, Lee So-ra, unable to enjoy Paris due to a busy schedule, went on a solo tour of the city. In particular, she met Paco, a local resident famous both domestically and internationally for his fluent Korean, at the Eiffel Tower plaza and captured a perfect life photo that she loved.

At a restaurant on Montmartre Hill, Lee So-ra performed a piano live version of "Don't Worry About Me," cheering for Hong Jin-kyung's peaceful future, and her sincerity reached Hong Jin-kyung as well. After a period of not contacting each other because they did not want to open wounds from too painful experiences, the two shared deep stories and came to understand each other's true feelings through this journey, moving forward as a new relationship, pouring out all their emotions in tears.

Program "No. 1 fan and best friend" Um Jung-hwa expressed her emotional thoughts, saying, "I am proud that they showed us that one can challenge and start at any age," and finally shed tears. Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung pledged, "From now on, whether good or bad things happen, let's always be together." The two left behind a wonderful and moving message: "Your runway is waiting, so challenge it," and wrote a happy ending.

Meanwhile, on the 17th at 9 p.m., a special titled "So-ra and Jin-kyung: Road to Runway," which compiles scenes from the Paris Fashion Week auditions where they struggled to stand on the runway, will be broadcast.
