She recalled how, when she first joined MBC in 1999, Park Myung-soo, dressed as a bee, told her, "Why did you come to MBC? Don't steal someone else's rice bowl; go back to SBS." She remembered the initial difficulty of adjusting to the atmosphere. Later, Park Myung-soo would even ask if she had a car lease or mortgage, sparking laughter with his persistent questions.

Her recent connection with Hong Jin-kyung was also revealed. Jeong Seon-hee, who wanted a calm and steady daily life, created a quiet YouTube channel. She disclosed that Hong Jin-kyung contacted her to announce her divorce on that channel. Hong Jin-kyung reportedly wanted to share with Jeong Seon-hee the message that divorce is not despair but just one chapter of life. Jeong Seon-hee added with humor, "If I remarry, I'll make the announcement on Hong Jin-kyung's channel."

She also shared a touching moment from Choi Jun-hee's wedding. Recalling how she and Hong Jin-kyung broke down in tears side by side at the wedding, Jeong Seon-hee expressed her sincere words: "It was wonderful to see you overcome such a harsh season." The event was attended by close friends of the late Choi Jin-sil. She recalled, "On that day, Hong Jin-kyung came to Choi Jun-hee's wedding wearing sunglasses. When I asked her to take them off, she was already choked up," evoking the moment when everyone was moved to tears.
