"A-list entertainment industry best friends" Han Hye-jin and Hwasa, who overcame a 12-year age gap, revealed everything from sweeping up bath supplies at Namdaemun Market to a special behind-the-scenes with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
Today (9th) at 9 p.m., the SBS variety program My Little Old Boy (hereafter "My Little Old Boy") will air an episode depicting Han Hye-jin's special day preparing a special healing course for her busy world-touring close friend Hwasa.
Hwasa, known as a "bath fanatic" who normally even keeps a personal bath basket, visits Namdaemun Market with Han Hye-jin, a place rising as a bathing holy ground for MZs. From shower towels and exfoliating towels to unheard-of novelty bath items, the two reportedly opened their wallets without restraint. Seeing this, "clean mania" MC Seo Jang-hoon also said, "I could last two hours even if I went there," sending a wave of empathy that turned the studio into a sea of laughter.
The two then head to Hwasa's regular restaurant, Deokja Jjim, the mukbang goddess's favorite spot whose chargrilled intestines, soy-marinated crab and kim bugak can cause nationwide sellouts when tasted. Hwasa's mukbang, from soy-marinated crab bibimbap to the overwhelmingly large Deokja Jjim, reportedly sent the studio's salivary glands into overdrive. Although Hwasa has recently been in the spotlight for her "bone-thin" figure, her signature mukbang appears unchanged. After the meal, the two take on an unusual healing ritual of burying themselves in hot clay that emits intense heat to relieve whole-body fatigue, raising curiosity about what happened next.
In particular, on that day Hwasa revealed an unprecedented story of receiving a shout-out from Jensen Huang, CEO of the global company NVIDIA. Hwasa said, "I received more messages than when I ranked first on a music show," and confessed she was bewildered at the time because she didn't know who Jensen Huang was, drawing laughter. She also revealed a story about sending a heartfelt handwritten thank-you letter to Jensen Huang, who had mentioned her repeatedly, which is expected to capture attention.
