‘New Release Convenience Store Restaurant’ Jang Shin-young shed tears as she recalled the difficult times.

On the March 21st broadcast of KBS 2TV‘s ‘New Release Convenience Store Restaurant’, Jang Shin-young invited her 6-year-old son Jung-woo’s friends and their mothers to her house and had a great time. During the process, Jang Shin-young shed tears as she expressed her gratitude to her friends who had been by her side when she was most difficult, even though she had only known them for 3 years. Jang Shin-young‘s heartfelt confession, “I was able to persevere because of you,” also touched the hearts of viewers at home.

On this day, Jang Shin-young made honey butter candy, mountain kimbap, sweet and sour pork pizza, super easy jajangmyeon, and salad bread for her 6-year-old son Jung-woo’s friends and his mother. Not only was the visuals colorful and pretty, but the taste captured the children‘s tastes; it was truly a ‘Kids’ Buffet’. Jang Shin-young is said to be close with the mothers of Jung-woo‘s kindergarten friends, not only co-parenting them but also throwing each other’s birthday parties.

Jang Shin-young‘s ‘Kids Buffet’ menus completely captivated the taste buds of the children and their mothers. In the midst of a fierce competition to devour them, Jang Shin-young even made super-easy cabbage pancakes with the leftover cabbage for her friends (mothers). The friends kept giving Jang Shin-young’s unique cooking sense a thumbs-up. After that, the mothers began their honest chat time.

First, Jang Shin-young shared her thoughts on recently moving in with her parents. Jang Shin-young said, “I thought it would be difficult, but the house is warm and the children are growing up well-mannered,” citing the advantages of moving in. However, she made everyone laugh by mentioning her mother‘s items, such as market scales and colanders, which were placed throughout the house, saying, “My mom and I don’t have the same color tone.” Jang Shin-young‘s brighter appearance made everyone happy.

Jang Shin-young then expressed her gratitude to her friends who had gathered there. She said that her friends brought her food for her birthday last year. Jang Shin-young said, “I was so tired physically and mentally that I couldn’t even get up. They must have been so worried about me that they brought me food. I cried so much when I saw that. I was so touched.” Her friends also recalled, “That day, Jang Shin-young and we all cried.”

Jang Shin-young said, “It was another unforgettable birthday meal, different from my mother‘s food.” “It’s only been three years since I met her, but they comforted me with one action rather than a hundred words. They called me out every weekend. As we hung out like that, I forgot. They were the driving force that allowed me to stand up. Because of these friends, I was able to stand up healthily and with a smile. They are friends I can‘t exchange for anything,” she confessed.

Jang Shin-young shed tears of gratitude. The friends, who knew Jang Shin-young’s sincerity better than anyone else, made Jang Shin-young smile again with their cheerful conversation. Jang Shin-young greeted them again, saying, “I persevered because of you. Thank you.” Jang Shin-young, who overcame difficult times with the warmth of those around her, is showing her true self through ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’ and drawing much support.

KBS 2TV‘s ’Convenience Store Restaurant‘ airs every Friday at 8:30 p.m.
