Broadcaster Hong Jin Kyung's daughter Ra-el is drawing attention for her exceptional language skills.
In a recent episode of the MBC variety show Sora and Jin Kyung, Hong Jin Kyung, who is preparing to contact an overseas agency, is shown preparing for an English interview. In particular, during this process her daughter Ra-el surprised viewers by stepping in as a "one-day teacher."
Hong Jin Kyung expressed concern, saying "my English is insufficient," and Ra-el conducted a mock interview rehearsal herself, saying "let's practice expected questions." Then Ra-el asked the question "tell me your strengths," and showed skill by instantly organizing Hong Jin Kyung's answers into English.
Above all, what drew attention was Ra-el's language ability. Previously it was reported that Ra-el speaks four languages including English, demonstrating that she is a "language prodigy" with top-level skills despite her young age.
Recently Hong Jin Kyung also showed a different side by learning Italian cooking from chef Kwon Seong-jun through YouTube content. Famous for the kimchi business, he had long boasted high-level cooking skills, but surprised viewers by saying, "I only know how to make Korean food."
Hong Jin Kyung admitted, "My daughter has only ever eaten cheonggukjang, doenjang-jjigae and kimchi-jjigae her whole life," and added, "I feel bad and want to at least teach her pasta."
Some netizens have responded, "She grew up eating only Korean food but speaks four languages, that's amazing," "How did they educate Ra-el?" and "It's so touching to see her helping her mother," among various reactions.
Despite a diet centered on Korean food, Ra-el developed a global sensibility. Attention is focused on her top-level language skills.
