Park Ji-hyun showcased her impressive Chinese language skills on "Home Alone."
The 25th episode of the MBC entertainment program "Home Alone" (hereafter referred to as "Home Alone") depicted trot singer Park Ji-hyun learning acrobatics.
After finishing an intense workout at the acrobatics academy that day, Park Ji-hyun visited Daerim Market. He stated, "It's summer, so I need to nourish my body. I'm going to buy ingredients for health food. I plan to make spicy chicken soup with the mala sauce I like and samgyetang."
Then Kian84 asked, "Because you're an international student, right?" As everyone was surprised, Park Ji-hyun revealed, "I went to China for 2 years when I was in the 4th grade of elementary school." Park Na-rae asked, "Did your younger sibling in Mokpo come from a wealthy family?" and Park Ji-hyun responded, "I lived a bit well."
Park Ji-hyun further shared, "At that time, my family ran a PC bang. It's quite a long story," and continued, "We initially had an accessory store in China, and later opened a snack bar and a Korean restaurant. I ended up failing big time there." Upon hearing this, Park Na-rae expressed admiration, saying, "I didn't know, but your younger sibling in Mokpo seems to have lived quite well."
"As a 'study abroad' student, I came to find the taste of mala in China. I am a first-generation mala hotpot enthusiast," Park Ji-hyun proudly declared. Park Na-rae responded, "So that's why you like mala," and Park Ji-hyun reminisced, "To me, it's somewhat like red pepper paste. After school, I would eat mala hotpot and things like that."
While at a grocery store, Park Ji-hyun showcased his advanced skills by conversing with the store owner in Chinese. He mentioned, "I speak a bit of Chinese. I attended Shanghong Middle School in Shanghai. I also did oratory. When Koreans came to China, I represented them and did oratory."
Kian84 remarked, "Isn't Hyung also good at Chinese?" and Jun Hyun-moo and Park Ji-hyun engaged in light conversation in Chinese, drawing attention. Later, observing Park Ji-hyun having an intense conversation with the store owner, Kian84 commented, "Ji-hyun, you speak two languages and do acrobatics too."
