In 'So-ra and Jin-kyung', broadcaster and former model Lee So-ra mentions Shin Dong-yup, Hong Jin-kyung's ex-boyfriend.
The first episode of MBC's new variety show 'So-ra and Jin-kyung', airing on the 26th, depicts Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung facing each other after a long hiatus. In a previously released viral teaser video, the awkward reunion of the two legendary models was revealed, with silence prevailing despite their apparent joy.
It is Lee So-ra's 'Hollywood-level' blunt remark that breaks the silence. Lee So-ra, with her unpredictable wit saying, "Turn on the TV and it's Hong Jin-kyung. She's become the 'female Shin Dong-yup'," immediately stirs the atmosphere toward Hong Jin-kyung, who has worked hard to live her life. It is reported that even Hong Jin-kyung, a professional variety show personality, could not hide her flustered reaction to this high-class (?) humor that only Lee So-ra, the representative 'cool older sister' of South Korea, could deliver.
As the conversation continues to evoke memories, Lee So-ra expresses feelings of pride and tenderness toward Hong Jin-kyung, who has undergone many changes such as marriage and childbirth, unlike herself, who remains single. Most notably, records of Hong Jin-kyung's tumultuous life, which have not been fully shared with the public until now, are also revealed. Hong Jin-kyung sincerely opens up about her feelings during her battle with cancer, when she underwent six rounds of chemotherapy, and her past days of quietly caring for Hwan-hee and Jun-hee, the children of the late Choi Jin-sil.
'So-ra and Jin-kyung' is a reality program that follows the journey of first-generation supermodels Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung, who dominated the 1990s, as they once again challenge the runway where they burned with passion in their 20s. The show premieres on the 26th at 9:10 p.m.
