Actor Lee Young-ae met royal cuisine researcher Han Bok-ryeo.
Lee Young-ae posted several photos on her personal channel on the 20th, saying "Royal cuisine researcher Han Bok-ryeo, teacher. Thank you. Please stay healthy."
In the photos Lee Young-ae met Han Bok-ryeo. Han Bok-ryeo, a royal cuisine researcher who is mentioned as often as Lee Young-ae when talking about Dae Jang Geum, the chief contributor to promoting Korean cuisine worldwide, served as a drama adviser and is known to have taught not only food verification but also knife skills to the actors.
Lee Young-ae has said she learned cooking from Han Bok-ryeo for about 20 days, and she said, "In old royal cuisine they use knives made of cast iron. At first I was cooking, but while cutting with the knife half of the flesh of my finger came off. When I sliced it something felt squishy," and "I immediately went to a nearby hospital, went up on the operating table and they stitched it up right away. There was no time so I immediately went to film. After that the experts did the cooking, but viewers kept asking why Jang-geum's hands suddenly became so thick."
Recently, as the royal cuisine research institute led by Han Bok-ryeo marked its 50th anniversary, Lee Young-ae visited her teacher after a long time to ask about her health and spent a special time. Lee Young-ae held hands with Han Bok-ryeo and took photos in front of the royal cuisine cultural foundation's gate, and took photos in a place with many jangdokdae jars to commemorate the day.
Meanwhile, Lee Young-ae appeared in last year's concluding KBS2 weekend drama Walking On Thin Ice.
