On the 16th, MBN Ahn Jung-hwan X Hong Hyun-hee‘s house tour variety show ‘Let’s Go’ Season 4 2nd episode, actress Kang Bu-ja and the first-generation original girl crush idol Baby V.O.X.‘s Shim Eun-jin appeared, following the first episode.
Kang Bu-ja presented fun and emotion in the second episode with her honest story. Kang Bu-ja, who made her full-fledged acting debut in March 1962, said, “When I was young, I did thirty-one works a month. There was a time when I did two works a day. So I couldn’t even breastfeed my children,“ and added, “My mother raised my children for 19 years. That‘s why I was able to go out and record with peace of mind,” he said, expressing his gratitude to his mother.
Kang Bu-ja then said, “If it were these days, I would ask for money (for raising the child), but my mother did everything without saying anything. If it were now, I would give her 3 million won every month,” and she choked up as she conveyed her longing for her mother, whom she will never see again, causing even the viewers to weep.
Baby V.O.X.’s Shim Eun-jin, a first-generation idol and the subject of a hot topic whose reunion after 14 years has become the number one trending video on YouTube, appeared as the second guest.

Shim Eun-jin said about the Baby V.O.X.‘s reunion, “I suddenly got a call,” and laughed as she reflected on her feelings about returning to the stage, saying, “It was so hard. We’re all this age now.” The MCs who were looking around Shim Eun-jin‘s house got to say hello to Shim Eun-jin’s husband, actor Jeon Seung-bin, who had returned home.
Jeon Seung-bin said, “I knew how much they had struggled, so it was cool, but also sad and touching,” sharing his thoughts on seeing the entire Baby V.O.X. Then he added, “We had couples‘ gatherings and saw them often, and I thought, ’They‘re not the ones who were always sick,’” making everyone laugh.
Shim Eun-jin and Jeon Seung-bin also spoke candidly about their short but intense love story from their dating to their marriage. Shim Eun-jin said, “I was the one who proposed first. When I said, ‘Do you want to live with me?’, my husband said, ‘Are you in your right mind?’” and revealed an episode about his passionate proposal. In particular, her husband Jeon Seung-bin said, “My wife immediately asked, ‘Do you hate me?’ He said, ”I didn‘t even give me 2 seconds to think,“ and Shim Eun-jin surprised everyone by sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how she registered her marriage first and had the wedding later, saying, ”We just registered our marriage in January of the following year.“
Shim Eun-jin confessed that she was preparing for a second child through in vitro fertilization. She said, ”After failing in vitro fertilization four times, we practiced at dawn because of our own schedules. My ankles swelled to the point where you couldn’t see my ankle bones due to my condition and in vitro fertilization issues.“ Shim Eun-jin said, ”I endured the in vitro fertilization and the stage with painkillers,“ and showed her affectionate side by saying, ”My husband (Jeon Seung-bin) did the housework for me for 2-3 weeks. When he got home, he‘d turn on the humidifier first.“
