In TV CHOSUN's 'The Cuisine of Heo Young-man,' we visit a dining table in Yeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, full of the pure energy of Mount Sobaek, accompanied by the actress Shin Eun-kyung, who was an iconic figure of Generation X in the 1990s with her unique style.
Shin Eun-kyung reached the peak of her acting career with the ambitious character 'Jin Cheon-dak' in the drama 'Penthouse' following the success of the film 'The Gangster's Wife.' She is so dedicated to her craft that she sought out a real aesthetician to learn the methods of body scrubbing and even appeared on her first day of shooting with all-body cupping therapy. Her dedication led her to gradually gain a more significant role, becoming an indispensable lead character in the series. Additionally, she reveals a past memory of longing for actress Ha Hee-ra during her high school days, running around a snowy playground until icicles formed in her hair. Viewers can witness the story from decades ago that made Shin Eun-kyung the actress she is today.
Meanwhile, Shin Eun-kyung confesses that she experienced the pain of losing someone close last year. Upon hearing the news of the passing of her mentor, Kim Soo-mi, who always supported and embraced her warmly, Shin Eun-kyung was in shock and could not get up for two days. In her delayed grief, Shin Eun-kyung expresses her feelings in detail. Heo Young-man, the host, expresses regret, saying, "I wish I had made a nice caricature for her back then." It explores the connection between the late Kim Soo-mi and Shin Eun-kyung, who taught her the path of adulthood with warm smiles.
On this day, Shin Eun-kyung and Heo Young-man visit a cow head soup restaurant where they are competing with just one menu item. This place is known for being a gathering spot for local residents, and rumors say that a special gift given by a customer during filming turned the restaurant upside down. Additionally, they experience the savory fermented soybean paste set meal made from Buseoktae beans, which can only be tasted in Yeongju, and also enjoy the beef short ribs, which are claimed to be affordable thanks to the owner's personal butchering.
'The Cuisine of Heo Young-man' featuring the 'actor with a thousand faces' Shin Eun-kyung will air today (the 20th) at 10:30 p.m. due to a special program schedule.
