Actress Kim Sung Ryung made a surprising confession about her long break from movies, leaving fans in shock!

On the February 21st episode of Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2 (a co-production of MBN and Channel S), Kim Sung Ryung joined Jeon Hyun-moo and YouTuber Kwak Tube (Kwak Joon Bin) for a food trip in Chuncheon, discovering hidden local restaurants.

The trio explored trendy “Neujok” (cozy restaurants with a great vibe), including a traditional home-style meal spot and a famous Dongchimi Makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles) restaurant—personally recommended by Kim. They also visited a pub, marking the show’s first-ever bar visit. The episode recorded a 2.2% rating on MBN (Nielsen Korea, paid households, nationwide, Part 2), proving its popularity.

While strolling through Chuncheon, Jeon Hyun Moo hyped up a hidden gem, teasing, “This will be Chuncheon’s signature Neujok in 2025, and it’s my favorite spot~.” When they arrived, they were served a retro-style meal on dented trays, packed with nostalgic side dishes. Overcome with memories, Jeon Hyun Moo said, “It tastes exactly like my mom’s cooking. It takes me back 30 years.”

After the meal, Jeon Hyun Moo teased their next guest, saying, “Today’s ‘food friend’ is a former Miss Korea.” Kwak Tube’s curiosity skyrocketed, asking, “Wait… the one from that scandal?” Jeon Hyun Moo laughed, “No, that person wasn’t a Miss Korea.” Kwak Tube pressed further, “But haven’t you been in a scandal with a Miss Korea before?” Jeon Hyun Moo casually replied, “Probably. I always get caught up in those things~.”

The special guest was none other than Kim Sung Ryung, who won Miss Korea Jin (1st place) in 1988. She warmly greeted the hosts before leading them to a hidden Makguksu restaurant she highly recommended. The three enjoyed slurping down flavorful noodles soaked in icy Dongchimi broth, making viewers crave a taste.

Kim then suggested, “Next stop is the go-to place for actors in Chuncheon—scorched rice set meals!” The trio headed to a pub, surprising Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube. Their curiosity grew when they saw photos of top actors like Song Joong Ki, Jung Kyung Ho, and Go Kyung Pyo decorating the walls.

As they settled in, Jeon Hyun Moo playfully said, “Since we’re at a pub, let’s dig up some old stories.” He asked Kim about her Miss Korea days.

Kim recalled, “After winning Miss Korea Jin in 1988, I appeared on many TV shows. I even worked with Yoon Hyung-joo from Sesibong and hosted Entertainment Weekly. In 1991, I was an MC at the Grand Bell Awards.”

Then, she dropped a bombshell confession: “I was cast as the lead in Kang Woo-suk’s Who Saw the Dragon’s Claws? without even auditioning, but after that, I couldn’t appear in a movie for 16 years.”

Jeon Hyun Moo and Kwak Tube gasped, jokingly asking, “Was it a controversy over your acting? Or did you have an attitude problem on set?” Kim laughed and denied it. “No! I actually won three Best New Actress awards for Who Saw the Dragon’s Claws?. But I kept turning down roles, and eventually, the offers just stopped coming.”

As they talked, their meal arrived—scorched rice with 12 delicious side dishes. At first, Jeon Hyun Moo and Kwak Tube weren’t sure what to expect, but one bite changed everything. “Wow, this flavor is next-level,” they said, fully enjoying the nostalgic dish.

Kim then shared another childhood memory. “When I was in elementary school, we used to go on picnics to Mok-dong. Back then, it was just open fields.” Jeon Hyun Moo, unable to hold back, jokingly asked, “Noona, just how old are you?” making Kim burst into laughter.

The final dish was a special recommendation from the restaurant owner—grilled hagfish. Kim showed off her hearty appetite, eating enthusiastically. Kwak Tube, impressed, said, “You’re so different from what I expected from TV. You’re super easygoing!” giving her a thumbs-up.

Kim suddenly realized she had been using casual speech throughout the show and playfully apologized, “Oh no! I kept speaking informally even though we’re on camera. Sorry about that~” making everyone burst into laughter.

With shocking revelations, delicious food, and non-stop fun, the episode ended on a high note—leaving fans eagerly waiting for the next one.

Jang Geun Suk has once again left everyone speechless—this time, with his unbelievable spice tolerance!

The actor proved he’s on another level when he casually ate jujube peppers, which are five times spicier than Cheongyang chili peppers, without even flinching.

On the February 23rd episode of JTBC’s Please Take Care of My Refrigerator since 2014, Jang Geun Suk’s fridge was revealed, and it was full of fiery surprises!

Jang Geun Suk confidently declared, “I still don’t really know what spicy feels like. I’ve never actually felt it.” But actress Ha Ji Won wasn’t buying it and teased, “That’s just bluffing.”

However, Jang Geun Suk stood his ground, saying, “I do sweat when it’s hot, but when my stomach hurts, it just feels like discomfort. My tongue doesn’t feel anything, so I just keep eating.”

True to his words, his fridge was stocked with capsaicin extract, Cheongyang chili peppers, and jujube peppers, proving he’s serious about his spice obsession.

To put him to the test, the MCs handed him a jujube pepper, one of the spiciest around. Without hesitation, he popped it in his mouth and casually said, “This is sweet. I eat them like snacks.”

The entire studio was in disbelief! Even chef Lee Yeon Bok wanted to check if the pepper was really that spicy.

But the moment he took a bite, he immediately spat it out and rushed to rinse his mouth! Kim Sung Joo, completely shocked, said, “Even if he spits it out, this is impressive.”

Meanwhile, Ahn Jung Hwan noticed Jang Geun Suk’s eyes turning red and pointed it out, but the actor coolly replied, “It’s just because the studio is dry.” His hilarious poker face had everyone cracking up!

Netizens are now wondering—is Jang Geun Suk even human?!
