• Apink's Jung Eun Ji said, "My parents were surprised by the smoking scene in the drama"

    Singer and actress Jung Eun Ji visited "Problem Child in House" and shared the secret story of a smoking scene filmed with a smoke-free plant.

    On the afternoon of February 15th, KBS 2TV's entertainment program "Problem Child in House", Apink's Park Cho Rong , Jung Eun Ji, Kim Nam Joo, and Oh Ha Young challenged a quiz on the 10th anniversary of their debut.

    Jung Eun Ji, who gained a lot of attention for her reckless profanity in the drama "Work Later, Drink Now", which recently ended with a lot of love, nailed it, saying, "It's a scene that came out with thorough practice". She acted according to the script without ad-libs, but she was satisfied with her performance of a swear word to the extent that even the director was embarrassed.

    In addition, Jung Eun Ji said, "I contacted my parents in advance about the smoking scene in the drama, 'Don't worry, because it's a smoking cessation'".

    However, her parents forgot about the story and stopped acting without saying anything in shock while watching the drama while eating. Jung Eun Ji added, "My parents said they couldn't get angry and only watched TV without saying a word".

    On the other hand, KBS 2TV's "Problem Child in House" is a quiz program in which Kim Yong Man, Song Eun I, Kim Sook, Jeong Hyeong Don, and Min Kyung Hoon solve common sense problems with the 'power of collective intelligence'.

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service.
