Yeo Esther, a physician and entrepreneur, shared her honest daily life, from exercises for her grandchildren to her will and behind-the-scenes stories of her business.

In the the 4th broadcast of SBS's variety program 'Same Bed Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny', the Seoul household routine of Yeo Esther and Hong Hye-geol was revealed.

On this day, Yeo Esther said, "I have decided to become not the 'national depressed woman' but the 'national happy woman.'" She added, "Except when I was in school, I never woke up before 10 a.m., but my daughter-in-law once said, 'Can our mother even hold our baby?' Since I am about to become a grandmother, I started exercising."

The revealed Seoul home featured a spacious living room and city views through floor-to-ceiling windows that drew attention. In particular, Yeo Esther's private space, which included a bedroom, work area, exercise equipment, rest zone, and a dedicated bathroom, resembled a hotel suite and earned admiration.

Additionally, Yeo Esther took on cooking for the first time in 33 years to celebrate Hong Hye-geol's 60th birthday. She remarked, "Cooking is harder than studying," as she prepared kimchi fried rice. She also revealed, "I was too busy and disliked cooking for 33 years, so I never entered the kitchen until my husband's milestone birthday."

Dermatologist Ham Ik-byung and his wife Kang Mi-hyeong also appeared on this broadcast. The four have been neighbors for 26 years, living in the same apartment complex. Kang Mi-hyeong joked, "We were always like servants and porters, while this couple was like a prince and princess," drawing laughter from the audience.

She further revealed that during a train trip, Yeo Esther had offered her seat to Ham Ik-byung, but when another seat became available, Hong Hye-geol immediately sat down, saying, "I cannot sit on the floor," while he and Ham Ik-byung sat on the floor instead. She also shared an anecdote from Seoraksan where Yeo Esther collapsed, and Ham Ik-byung carried her down personally while also carrying her backpack.

In response, Yeo Esther said, "The reason we are living as well as we do today is thanks to Teacher Ham Ik-byung." She recalled, "When I started my business 26 years ago, I asked to borrow 50 million won, and he lent it immediately without even asking for an IOU. At that time, it was truly a large sum of money."

She continued, "Not only did he lend me startup funds, but he also advised, 'To attract top talent, you must treat them better than expected.' Those words were incredibly helpful in running my business," expressing her deep gratitude.
