Today (29th) at 7:50 p.m., TV CHOSUN's 식객 허영만의 백반기행 will air, featuring Son Dam-bi, who has 'chameleon-like charm,' as she searches for the tastes of Seoul. Setting aside her charisma for a moment and becoming 'mom Dam-bi,' she experiences the essence of Seoul's dining—from the nostalgic alleys of her hometown Gangdong District to an Euljiro long-established restaurant that has stood for 89 years.
Now in her fourth year of marriage, Son Dam-bi is recently living as a 'first-time mom' raising her '11-month-old daughter' Hae-ee, who was conceived through in vitro fertilization and is described as a 'precious treasured daughter.' Seeing Hae-ee's photos, the guest could not hide their surprise, saying, "The baby doesn't look like her mother at all." There was none of the 'beauty who shook an era' that is Son Dam-bi; the baby so closely resembles her husband Lee Gyu-hyeok that she immediately proved to be 'Lee Gyu-hyeok 2nd generation.'
"After giving birth I became a 'brazen ajumma,'" Son Dam-bi said, and her down-to-earth banter had the guest in stitches that day. She also showed the side of a 'steel mom' hardened by kettlebell workouts, insisting that stamina is essential for parenting. The progression of 'dad lookalike' Hae-ee's face and 'mom Dam-bi's' parenting diary are revealed on the broadcast.
Meanwhile, Son Dam-bi and former speed skater Lee Gyu-hyeok's movie-like love story unfolds. The two briefly dated 13 years ago, parted ways, reunited 10 years later and tied the knot in a whirlwind marriage five months after their reunion. Son Dam-bi elicited laughter when she said, "I woke up and found out I was married." Even the guest marveled, "Husband Lee Gyu-hyeok's legs are 'bull hind legs'!" and went on to extol the legend of his thighs.
The Seoul dining experience with 'happy mom' Son Dam-bi, who opened the second act of her life, can be seen today (29th) at 7:50 p.m. on TV CHOSUN's 식객 허영만의 백반기행 Seoul episode.
