Actor Kang Ye-won has shown a strong determination regarding marriage.
On the 6th, in the broadcast of TV Chosun's 'Chef Heo Young-man's White Rice Journey,' actor Kang Ye-won appeared as a guest and visited Tongyeong, Gyeongnam.
That day, when Kang Ye-won was asked, 'Have you been to Tongyeong?' she expressed regret, saying, 'I came here to shoot a drama, but it seems I didn't have the leisure to enjoy the scenery like this.'
In response, Heo Young-man noted, 'These days, there are many flowers blooming in spring: cherry blossoms, dandelions, forsythias. When those flowers bloom, Tongyeong has flowers blooming in the sea. It's the sea grape flower. When you harvest sea grapes, you see red strings come out, just like the flowers they hang in Hawaii. They look alike. This is a place where you can taste sea grapes properly.'
Later, the two ordered sea grape bibimbap, and Kang Ye-won said, 'There's almost nothing I can't eat.' However, when she mentioned, 'I'm having three meals today,' he replied, 'Three meals is a bit scary. I usually only eat one meal. I tend to eat a lot in one meal, around 5 p.m.'
Heo Young-man suggested, 'You should divide one meal into three,' and Kang Ye-won requested, 'Exactly. Please help me, teacher.' Heo Young-man then asked, 'But did you know that when you invited her as a guest?' and Kang Ye-won earnestly appealed, 'Three meals... should I eat until tomorrow?' which drew laughter.
He said, 'The time I'm happiest is when I'm eating something delicious. I'm happy thinking about what to eat today. When I think, 'What should I eat today?' they say, is there nothing else you can ask?'
Heo Young-man asked, 'Is there any food you eat in spring?' to which Kang Ye-won replied, 'I don't know much about seasonal food, so when people tell me to eat something, I just eat it. I really enjoy going to places where the food is delicious. So I really want to meet you, teacher. I lack knowledge but only know how to eat, and I want to study food because if I want to get married, it would be good to know seasonal food as well.'
Then, Heo Young-man asked, 'Do you still think about getting married?' and Kang Ye-won replied, 'Yes. Nowadays, I want to find a partner, so I'm participating in a dating variety program.' Heo Young-man expressed surprise, saying, 'Do you really have no place to find a partner while broadcasting?' and Kang Ye-won lamented, 'Yes, there really isn't. I have no place to meet, and since I can't drink, I think my chances are definitely low.'
After tasting the sea grape bibimbap, Kang Ye-won said, 'I didn't know this flavor, but I like spicy food, and even though I didn't put any sauce, the taste is completely alive, and it's not bland at all. It's really delicious. This is my first time not dipping in sauce. So tasty. This is the taste of the sea. It's so good. Isn't this happiness? I think happiness is eating delicious food. Life is pain, but at that moment of eating, there is happiness. When I'm happy, I should not be complacent but be grateful, and I believe the pain will end, so I just wait calmly.'
Meanwhile, Kang Ye-won suggested, 'I will invite you next time,' proposing to film 'White Rice Journey' at her home. She said, 'I will make food myself and serve you,' which made Heo Young-man express happiness, saying, 'I learned about an important transaction today.'
