'Problem Children in the Attic' showcased the deep, 30-year friendship between Hong Jin-kyung and Jung Sun-hee, who shared life's joys and sorrows, delivering a moving and lingering emotional experience.

In the the 21st broadcast of KBS2's variety show 'Problem Children in the Attic Season 2' (hereafter 'Ok-mun-a'), Episode 325, comedy veterans Kim Ji-sun and Jung Sun-hee, described as "comedy schoolmates for 39 years," appeared alongside 'Attic Crew' members Song Eun-i, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin-kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Woo-jae. The episode featured boundary-pushing conversations and clever quiz-solving that captivated the audience with unbreakable charm, fully taking over the attic space.

On this day, Kim Ji-sun and Jung Sun-hee immediately demonstrated their status as "natural-born comedians." Song Eun-i told Kim Ji-sun, "You were my role model. I often heard people say, 'Try to be like Kim Ji-sun.'" Kim Sook also expressed her respect for Kim Ji-sun, saying, "Even when I debuted, people said there was no one like Ji-sun." In response, Kim Ji-sun revealed she is the only person who has performed in both the original 'Bongsung-a School' and the 'Comedy Big Show Bongsung-a School,' immediately launching a one-person multi-role sketch that turned the attic upside down. Following suit, Jung Sun-hee showcased her trademark woodpecker sound imitation, completing a non-stop personal talent relay from the start, exploding with the presence of "true funny sisters" with 39 years of experience.

Following this, long-standing connections among the Attic Crew were successively brought to the forefront, centered around Kim Ji-sun and Jung Sun-hee. Kim Ji-sun shared a story about pretending to be a 'bride carrying a rice jar' at Kim Sook's former home, which once served as a hangout spot for comedians. She revealed, "Sook wasn't wearing her contact lenses back then, so she couldn't see well and didn't clean properly. The mop was completely dried out." This disclosure drew laughter. She also recalled living in the same apartment complex as Kim Sook, saying, "Sook played a role like a nest among many comedians," highlighting their special bond.

Meanwhile, Jung Sun-hee revealed that she first met Hong Jin-kyung on the variety show 'Geumchon-dae Family' and grew closer while co-hosting as radio double DJs. Describing Hong Jin-kyung at the time, Jung said, "I had never seen such a character before in my life. She says exactly what she thinks and acts exactly on her thoughts," which made everyone laugh. She added, "Except for Jin-kyung, there are very few periods in my life that can be explained," revealing the depth of their 30-year friendship.

The reason Hong Jin-kyung chose Jung Sun-hee's personal channel as the venue for her divorce announcement was also revealed. Hong recalled, "I wanted to avoid making an announcement as much as possible, but reporters found out. I thought it would be better if I explained things clearly myself rather than letting misunderstandings arise from news articles." She continued, "Sun-hee was the only person who knew my entire history. I felt it would be most natural to make the announcement as if talking to her. I thought there was no one else but her." Jung Sun-hee simply replied, "I was grateful," offering a glimpse into the strong trust between the two.

Meanwhile, in this episode of 'Ok-mun-a,' various quizzes were presented, including "How does a woodpecker store its long tongue?", "The fetal gender identification method found in Heo Jun's medical book <Unhae Taesan Jigyao>," and "The request the fox made to the Little Prince in Saint-Exupéry's novel <The Little Prince> who wanted to be friends." These were accompanied by in-depth discussions related to each topic.

Alongside this, Kim Ji-sun and Jung Sun-hee openly shared everything from their endless stream of personal talents to their intense variety show careers, fully controlling the attic atmosphere. 'Authority on sound imitation' Jung Sun-hee invoked Choi Hwa-jeong during inhalation and Lee Young-ja during exhalation with high-sync sound imitations that brought laughter. Kim Ji-sun also amazed the audience by automatically spouting out North Korean dialects. She even boldly declared her ambitious goal: "When unification comes, I'll dominate home shopping in North Korea," adding more laughs. However, even these two who have shone brilliantly with their natural talents had difficult moments. Kim Ji-sun recalled secretly crying during intense filming of 'Three Rounds,' while Jung Sun-hee remembered similar moments on 'Female Warriors Five,' honestly revealing the worries hidden behind their laughter.

The extreme contrast between 'Queen of Dasa' Kim Ji-sun, who enjoys time with her family, and Jung Sun-hee, who cherishes solitude, also sparked explosive laughter. As a mother of four, Kim Ji-sun compared herself to a catcher and her husband to a pitcher, saying with fiery humor, "I don't play many games, but whether it's a ground ball or anything else, I catch everything," which left the attic in ruins. She also shared that people who wish for pregnancy touch her belly, telling the story of giving a baby onesie to Choi Yeon-je, daughter of Sunwoo Yong-nyeo who struggled with infertility, after which the child was born. She even unreservedly recounted an episode where she directly shared breast milk with singer Kim Hye-yeon, who had insufficient milk supply. In response, Joo Woo-jae said, "Today's talk is too difficult," and Yang Se-chan remarked, "It's very spicy today," breaking into a cold sweat and adding to the laughter.

In contrast, Jung Sun-hee brought up her past declaration that she would "live recklessly from age 62," saying, "I kept getting asked why I don't meet men, so I made a casual remark that ended up in the news. I didn't expect this age to come so quickly. I'm too anxious." This unexpected 'promise withdrawal' situation drew laughter. Hong Jin-kyung responded enthusiastically, saying, "If there's someone good, I plan to introduce them to Sun-hee whenever I get a chance," while Jung firmly rejected the idea of public matchmaking, revealing that even her private information has reached overseas, adding more humor.

The attic, which had been overflowing with laughter, turned into a scene of touching tears as the conversation reached the 30th-year friendship story between Jung Sun-hee and Hong Jin-kyung. Hong said, "If it weren't for Sun-hee, I wouldn't have been able to endure my life in the entertainment industry. There was so much pain over these 30 years. I'm not that cheerful; I'm just quirky and unique, so doing variety shows was very hard. But because of Sun-hee, I could keep going." Jung Sun-hee also shed tears, saying, "Jin-kyung gave me a love that was almost like unrequited love. But when Jin-kyung was sick and struggling, I feel like I couldn't embrace her enough, so I'm always sorry." Hong Jin-kyung then told Jung, "You are someone who brings comfort just by being alive," deepening the emotional atmosphere.
