MBN ‘Let‘s Go (Let’s Go)’ Season 4 was opened by actress Kang Bu-ja.

On the first episode of MBN ‘Let‘s Go GO4’, a variety show showcasing Ahn Jung-hwan and Hong Hyun-hee’s houses that aired on the 9th, Kang Bu-ja, who has dedicated 64 years of her life to acting, appeared as the first guest.

MCs Ahn Jung-hwan and Hong Hyun-hee were invited to actor Kang Bu-ja‘s house in Cheongdam-dong and were amazed by the house filled with precious works of art from the entrance to the living room. Kang Bu-ja’s house was filled with not only works of art, but also Kang Bu-ja‘s love and philosophy for acting over her 64 years. Kang Bu-ja introduced a display case filled with hairpins and other accessories she had collected while appearing in historical dramas, saying, “There are props that were prepared, but I bought them myself. That’s why I get angry when I see props that don‘t fit the role in historical dramas these days.”

In addition, Kang Bu-ja said, “I never receive sponsored costumes. If I receive sponsorship, I can’t act to my heart‘s content. Also, if I can’t film on the same day, I have to connect to the next day‘s filming, but if I receive sponsorship, that’s difficult, so I prepare all my clothes.” She revealed her philosophy on acting.

Kang Bu-ja also shared her affection for her family. Kang Bu-ja, who secretly dated KBS talent audition classmate and actor Lee Muk-won, known as the original killer smile, for about four years, said, “My husband is the eldest of seven children, so when I saw that, I thought, ‘I should come into this house and be the pillar,’ and that‘s why I got married.” Kang Bu-ja showed her affection by looking at her granddaughters’ first birthday photos, saying, “This one became a lawyer, this one is a medical student, and this one is a scholarship student at the University of Michigan.”

In Kang Bu-ja‘s house, not only were there works by painters Kim Heung-soo, Kim Jong-hak, and Noh Sang-gyun, but there were also works by painter Kim Chang-yeol, which she said she “bought 40 years ago by paying a little every month like she was paying for a family gathering,” which made it seem like a museum, capturing everyone’s attention. In particular, the medicine cabinet, which was revealed to be the work of human cultural asset Han Sang-soo, drew everyone‘s admiration with its antique design with beautiful embroidery placed one by one.

Kang Bu-ja, who revealed her house for the first time through this broadcast, said, “I wouldn’t even get my initial investment back (even if I revealed my house). Some people say, ”Is that all Kang Bu-ja can afford?“ and others say, ”Kang Bu-ja lives well like that,“ and there are mixed opinions,” carefully explaining the reason why she had not revealed her house until now. “These are works that I have done my best to collect over the past 60 years. I used my fixed income to live on, and when I got extra income, I collected my artwork one by one,” she said, expressing her affection for her artwork.

After looking around the house, Kang Bu-ja, a self-proclaimed soccer fan, had a happy time talking about soccer with Ahn Jung-hwan. Kang Bu-ja said, “I watched the 2002 Italy match in person, and Ahn Jung-hwan was cool then,” vividly recalling a soccer match from long ago. She also said, “I recently watched Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min match, and Yang Min-hyeok was on the substitute list. I stayed up all night to watch Yang Min-hyeok play,” and conveyed her special affection for soccer, saying, “When there’s a match like the World Cup, or even if I have a drama to film, I stay up all night to watch it.”

When Hong Hyun-hee asked, “Is there a foreign player you like?” Kang Bu-ja answered, “I like Griezmann, Neymar, and Mbappe.” When asked, “Park Ji-Sung vs. Ahn Jung-Hwan,” he shared his true feelings by saying, “Soccer is definitely Park Ji-Sung,” and “I was touched when Park Ji-Sung hugged Coach Hiddink.”

Kang Bu-Ja also revealed a story she had not told for a long time. She was a long-time exclusive talent for TBC and was loved for a long time. She shed tears during her farewell broadcast in 1980 when the station closed due to a media merger. Because of that, various stories including the story of how he received an invitation to play golf from the late Chairman Lee Byung-chul, founder of Dongyang Broadcasting and founder of Samsung, were revealed for the first time, stimulating curiosity.

Meanwhile, ‘Let‘s Go GO’ Season 4 is a national housewarming tour program where MCs Ahn Jung-hwan and Hong Hyun-hee visit the homes of stars who sent invitations to them and share their life stories. It airs every Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
