Lee Hye-won from Channel A’s ‘Family That Crossed the Line’ recalls her ‘struggle’ days living abroad, saying, “When I was newlywed, I had to make kimchi myself.My arms covered in red pepper powder were so spicy that I couldn’t sleep at night.”

On the 87th episode of Channel A’s ‘Family Over the Line’ (abbreviated as ‘Seon-Num-Pae’), which will air on the 12th, the ‘extra-large’ kimchi-making experience of the Oh brothers ‘parents, Kim Ro-Woon and Roberts, who live in Las Vegas, USA, will be revealed.

According to the production team, on this day, the’ American family ‘enjoys playing in the water at their home’s swimming pool.Next, ‘big hand’ Kim Ro-eun boils 10 bags of ramen in her trademark ‘deultong’ and serves them a snack.While enjoying a ‘ramen mukbang’, an incident occurs where the kimchi that was supposed to be eaten as a side dish runs out, so after much thought, Kim Ro-eun declares, “I have to make kimchi.” Kim Ro-eun, who travels 4 hours with her husband and children to Koreatown in LA, stops at a Korean mart with a Korean sign and buys groceries.Kim Ro-eun explains, “The prices are much cheaper than Las Vegas, so I have no choice but to come here even if it takes 4 hours(by car).I’ve never seen anything this cheap…”






While curiosity is focused on the current state of prices at the Korean supermarket that excited Kim Ro-eun, Kim Ro-eun, who returned home, invited her neighbors over and started making kimchi on an ‘unprecedented scale’.Seeing the unusual sight of local Americans wearing rubber gloves and mixing kimchi seasoning, Lee Hye-won recalls her memories of living abroad, saying, “I also remember not being able to sleep at night because I made kimchi myself when I was newlywed.My arms covered in red pepper powder were so spicy that my skin hurt all night.” In response to Lee Hye-won’s comment about worrying(?) about the skin health of Kim Ro-eun’s neighbors, Ahn Jung-hwan says, “That’s why I remember saying ‘Wow~’ to them,” and Yoo Se-yoon looks at her with envious eyes, saying, “So sweet~.”

After many twists and turns, when the kimchi-making is finished, Kim Ro-eun prepares the ‘Kimchi national rule’ of pickled vegetables and boiled pork and treats her acquaintances to a lavish meal.While everyone is enjoying their meal, ‘Hong-eo’ appears as the ‘special menu’ of the day.When ‘American representative’ Chris sees this, he worries, saying, “You can’t find food like that in America.(Hong-eo)is a really unfamiliar food to Americans.” While all the studio cast members are vicariously nervous, the locals who smelled the Hong-eo for the first time cautiously taste it.The vivid reactions of the Americans who tasted Hong-eo for the first time in their lives are drawing attention.

The broadcast will be at 8:10 PM on the 12th.
