Celebrity couple Hong Hyun-hee and Jason recently drew viewers’ attention as they were seen making kimchi (kimjang) in an unfamiliar setting. On the latest episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, the pair, who previously moved out of their luxurious ’60 Billion House,’ braved a new kitchen setup to prepare for the winter tradition.
The couple’s awkward adjustments and comedic dynamics added humor to what is usually a daunting but family-centered undertaking in Korea. The segment captured tense and funny moments as they struggled through the process, making viewers both laugh and hold their breath amid potential mishaps.
Why it matters
Kimchi-making is a key cultural event in Korea, symbolizing family, community, and preparation. Seeing stars like Hong Hyun-hee and Jason participate—not in a glamorous studio but in a more humble, hands-on environment—allows audiences to connect with them on a relatable level. Their learning moments highlighted not just laughs but also the value of traditional practices.
