Actress Shim Eun-kyung will be appearing on a variety show for the first time in 11 years with ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’.

The MBC show ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Lee Joo-won, Wang Jong-seok, Ahn Ji-sun, and Bang Sung-soo/written by Noh Min-sun), which will air on February 15, will feature the ‘Suspicious Gourmet’ edition with special guests. The news that actress Shim Eun-kyung, who is rarely seen on variety shows, and Japanese actor Yutaka Matsushige, famous for ‘The Lonely Gourmet’, will appear is raising expectations and creating a buzz.

Shim Eun-kyung, who received much love for the movies ‘Suspicious,’‘Masquerade,’’Sunny,’, reveals that her last variety show was ‘Running Man’ with Yoo Jae-suk 11 years ago. Shim Eun-kyung, who has since expanded her activities to Japan, has also garnered attention with the news that she has become the first Korean actor to win the Japan Academy Award for Best Actress.



When Yoo Jae-suk sees Shim Eun-kyung, he is happy to see her, saying, “It‘s been a really long time,” and brings up a happy memory from 11 years ago. However, Shim Eun-kyung makes everyone laugh by revealing a different memory from Yoo Jae-suk. Shim Eun-kyung reveals that at the time, she was nervous because it was her first entertainment show appearance, and that Yoo Jae-suk gave her an encouraging order, saying, “Don’t rest! Run! You have to run.”

Yoo Jae-suk is flustered when Shim Eun-kyung‘s suspicious stories from 11 years ago pour out. Yoo Jae-suk feels wronged by Shim Eun-kyung’s joke, “I haven‘t done any entertainment shows since then,” and asks, “Is it because of me? Look straight into my eyes,” and tries to make true eye contact. Yoo Jae-suk, who is on the defensive, jokes, “Eun-kyung’s talking has gotten better since then,” and makes us curious about the reunion scene of the two who were full of laughter.

The episode of Shim Eun-kyung and Yoo Jae-suk‘s meeting after 11 years can be seen on MBC’s ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’, which airs on February 15th at 6:25 PM.
