On MBC‘s ‘I Live Alone’, Park Na-rae and the ‘Kimjang Fairy’ Jung Jae-hyung will be having a ‘Kimjang Party’ on a grand scale. Expectations are high for the ‘Kimjang Party’ where the two of them will not stop until dawn with 80 slices of cabbage.

On the upcoming episode of MBC’s ‘I Live Alone’ (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Park Soo-bin, Lee Kyung-eun, and Moon Ki-young) that will air on the 6th, Park Na-rae and the ‘Kimjang Fairy’ Jung Jae-hyung will be seen challenging themselves to make kimchi in search of their grandmother‘s cooking.

A guest visits Park Na-rae’s house while she is preparing a ‘Kimjang Party’. The main character is her neighbor, Jung Jae-hyung. As expected from a fashionista in the entertainment industry, Jung Jae-hyung appeared in a Parisian fashion, leaving Park Na-rae speechless.



Earlier, when Jung Jae-hyung said he wanted to learn how to make kimchi, Park Na-rae invited him, saying, “Would you like to have a glass of wine with kimchi?” She said, “That‘s not a wrong answer, is it?” and guided Jung Jae-hyung to the ‘kimchi party’. Jung Jae-hyung was shocked by the unexpected scale of the ‘kimchi party’ and was speechless. He even trembled when he saw the mountain-like piles of kimchi containers and 80 sheets of pickled cabbage.

The released photos show Jung Jae-hyung and Park Na-rae transformed into pink kimchi looks, causing everyone to burst into laughter. The ‘Kimchi Party’ scene soon transforms into a ‘Kimchi Factory’. Jung Jae-hyung will show off his cooking skills under the guidance(?) of ‘Team Leader’ Park Na-rae while acting timid(?) by saying, “If I don’t see you, think I‘ve gone home”, but he will also show off his perfect teamwork.

The preparation of various kimchi ingredients and the never-ending mixer time follow. Park Na-rae asks Jung Jae-hyung, “Are you crying, oppa?”, and Jung Jae-hyung catches the eye with his professional(?) appearance as he silently looks up at the sky but doesn’t stop stirring the seasoning. Park Na-rae responds, “Well done! Good job!”, showering them with compliments.

You can find out whether Park Na-rae and Jung Jae-hyung will be able to find the taste of their grandmother‘s kimchi on ‘I Live Alone’, which airs tonight (the 6th) at 11:10 PM.
