Singer and broadcaster Hwang Hye-young directly addressed allegations of covert advertising and confronted the controversy head-on.
On the 9th, a video titled "Secret to maintaining a youthful face in your 50s?! What I eat every morning" was released on Hwang Hye-young's YouTube channel "Hwang Hye-young is."
That day, after sending her children to school, she casually revealed her morning routine of what she eats, sharing a slice of her everyday life.
Before breakfast, when a scene showed her taking probiotics, the production team relayed some viewers' reactions. The production team noted, "There were comments saying that taking probiotics in a morning routine is an advertisement," and Hwang Hye-young immediately, seemingly embarrassed, protested, "Then what am I supposed to do?"
Later, while Hwang Hye-young briefly stepped away, the production team filmed the logo on a bread wrapper, and she laughed, saying, "This is why they say it's an ad." She then told the camera, "Everything I'm showing today is all bought with my own money. However, I won't turn down offers for ads that come afterward," adding the remark with candid charm that drew laughter.
Hwang Hye-young later prepared breakfast of bread and eggs accompanied by a simple spread of peanut butter mixed with olive oil and lemon juice, introducing her usual eating habits.
Meanwhile, Hwang Hye-young gained great popularity in the 1990s as part of the coed group T.T.Ma, and in 2011 she married former politician and businessman Kim Kyung-rok and has twin sons. Recently she drew attention by saying she had wound down the online shopping mall business she had operated for 18 years.
