'Baedalwassuda' Lee Young-ja spoke frankly about her feelings on marriage.
On the 22nd broadcast of KBS2 'Baedalwassuda', legendary big eaters Jo Hye-ryeon, Shin Gi-ru, and Kim Min-kyung, who flustered Lee Young-ja and Kim Sook with a huge order, appeared.
While Kim Sook was drilling into Lee Young-ja the duty of 'delivery' and trying to curb her appetite, large orders came in for mackerel kimchi stew, half-and-half bossam, assorted tripe, and spicy seasoned squid. Puzzled by the unusual large order, Lee Young-ja wondered, "Is this a movie, drama or musical team's dinner?" and, since she happened to know all the restaurants where the food needed to be picked up, she successfully completed the pickups with ease. Kim Sook wondered about the unusual palates of the orderers, saying they smelled like Lee Young-ja.
After picking up all the food, they headed to JDB Entertainment, and the guests were Jo Hye-ryeon, Shin Gi-ru, Kim Min-kyung, and Lee Su-kyung. As it was the '1st comedians' feast for eating well and laughing well,' Lee Young-ja and Kim Sook added class with a luxurious setting. They also showed small gestures with personalized bib gifts, and as satisfaction rose, Kim Sook hinted that they could take more delivery tip from Lee Young-ja. The food bill they charged was 418,000 won, and the delivery tip was set at 200,000 won, but because the rule was that if it was fun the tip could be 0 won, it increased the comedians' competitive spirit.
Shin Gi-ru said she becomes a thorough planner when it comes to food, saying, "Life doesn't go my way, but the only thing I can do my way is eat what I want to eat." When Kim Sook said, "It contrasts with Han Hye-jin's remark that the only thing she could change by will was her body," Shin Gi-ru replied, "I have a different view. I can fatten my body," which drew laughter. Kim Min-kyung moved Lee Young-ja by leaving the adage, "People don't burst their stomachs."
Jo Hye-ryeon asked Lee Young-ja about her debut. Jo Hye-ryeon and Lee Young-ja suffered the pain of being eliminated together, and Lee Young-ja joined as a special recruit, not through the open recruitment. Lee Young-ja said, "At that time I was neither this nor that. I failed eight times." Shin Gi-ru was also a special recruit and suffered the pain of failing five times. Among them, Lee Su-kyung astonished by having been rejected more than 14 times. In contrast, Kim Sook passed the comedian exam on her first try despite not dreaming of becoming a comedian, drawing envy with a contrary story. Kim Sook said, "Back then I dreamed of being a singer but lacked nerve. So I was told to be bolder, and I took the first open recruitment (college comedy contest) and passed. I entered at 19 and I was younger than those several levels below, so I entered easily and had seven years of obscurity," revealing her own hardships.
Kim Min-kyung said, "Even if I like someone, I can't express it well. I'm cautious for fear of awkwardness, but when I ask my friend Shin Gi-ru, she looks at me pitifully. She says that once I'm married I should know what to do, and after that she doesn't counsel me," which caused laughter. In the past Kim Min-kyung said she paid a lot of attention to visuals, and Kim Sook said, "A grievance remains. Didn't you like Koo Bon-seung?" creating an odd vibe. Kim Min-kyung said, "I've liked him for much longer. I liked him before he went to the military. I was a total fan. When we put a letter in a time capsule, I even wrote, 'When I grow up I'll be Koo Bon-seung's wife.'" She added, "I once met Koo Bon-seung and was happy, but on 'Omantchu' he paired with Kim Sook. So I sent him a direct message. Still, I wanted the two to do well." Hearing this, Kim Sook suggested, "Let's go fishing once." But faced with the strange triangle involving Koo Bon-seung, she retracted her words, causing laughter.
Lee Young-ja left room for possibility on marriage, saying, "The old age I hope for is a leisurely life doing what I want. I want to fill it with my own time. I want to fill the time I have left with the things I like. If I meet someone who truly loves me or my ideal type, I don't know what will happen then." In response, Jo Hye-ryeon revealed with a laugh, "At the wedding she asked me, 'You married twice; isn't that something I can't do?'"
It became a time for sharing touching stories for delivery food discount coupons. Jo Hye-ryeon said about a touching episode involving Shin Gi-ru, "We did a health program together and the reason Shin Gi-ru was chosen was because we thought she might have health issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. But she came out very healthy, and the script's lines gradually decreased. She even binge ate on purpose to appear unwell, but she was even healthier," she said.
She added, "After that Shin Gi-ru wasn't seen much on broadcasts, but after appearing on a YouTube variety show she started to rise in popularity. And I was so happy that she did well."
Kim Min-kyung recounted a good deed by Lee Young-ja. Kim Min-kyung said, "To me, Lee Young-ja was a senior like the sky, so I found it difficult. But when my younger brother suddenly passed away and I was overwhelmed, I couldn't contact anyone, yet senior Lee Young-ja sent condolence money and a message of comfort. She wasn't even a junior I had been in contact with, and she must be taking care of many people, but she even looked after a junior she wasn't that close to, and I was grateful. So to me Lee Young-ja is a warm and grateful person," she said, touching hearts.
