Broadcaster Kim Shin-young passed the Rice Sommelier certification exam.
In the episode of MBC's 'I Live Alone' broadcast on the 9th, Kim Shin-young was shown taking on the challenge of obtaining the Rice Sommelier certification.
On that day, Kim Shin-young said, "I skipped breakfast for the first time in 16 years. Honestly, it was hell," and left her home early in the morning. The place she headed to was a classroom for the Rice Sommelier certification course.
Kim Shin-young explained the reason for taking on the certification by stating, "I have considerable expertise in rice, but there was no way to prove it. In our country, you need a certificate to get certified."
Following this, Kim Shin-young, who received a total of 18 hours of education over three days, took the certification exam after completing her final class.

The written exam consisted of 70 questions. She needed to score at least 70 points out of a maximum of 100, and for the practical exam, she needed to score at least 40 points out of a maximum of 100.
However, she hit a snag starting with the written exam. Kim Shin-young revealed, "It was difficult from question number one. I mistakenly thought I would know this," and added, "I almost wanted to crawl under the desk."
In particular, she went through twists and turns, including replacing her OMR card twice due to nervousness. After completing the practical exam as well, Kim Shin-young announced in the studio, "I failed. I can retake the course and try again," sharing news of her failure.
However, this was a joke by Kim Shin-young. After saying she had brought her completion certificate, she unexpectedly revealed her passing certificate, creating a twist. She disclosed that she holds certifications in recreation, acting education, life insurance, and property insurance, meaning she now possesses five certifications.
Kim Shin-young expressed her joy by telling Don, "I'll cook you delicious rice. I have a certificate now. Come over sometime," eliciting laughter.
