Jang Hye-jin's High-Energy Antics and Roy Kim's Charming Day Light Up 'Omniscient Interfering View'

The latest episode of MBC's 'Omniscient Interfering View' captivated viewers with the contrasting yet charming daily lives of actress Jang Hye-jin and singer Roy Kim.

On the broadcast aired yesterday, the 371st episode of the variety show, led by producers Kang Young-seon, Kim Yoon-jip, Jeon Jae-wook, Kim Hae-ni, Jung Dong-sik, and Lee Da-un, featured actress Jang Hye-jin, who gained widespread recognition for her role in the film 'Parasite,' and 'nation's embarrassment magnet' Roy Kim.

Before diving into Jang Hye-jin's daily routine, a special connection with director Bong Joon-ho was revealed. Jang Hye-jin shared that she was working at a supermarket and department store after quitting acting when director Bong Joon-ho offered her a role in the movie 'Memories of Murder,' surprising everyone.

Her seldom-seen daily life unfolded, showcasing her competence as a homemaker. Living alone while her husband is on assignment in Turkey with their children, Jang Hye-jin's impeccably organized home drew attention. She started her day with knitting and surprised the panelists by revealing her secret weapon: baking soda. She demonstrated its versatility, using it for washing vegetables, dishes, and even for personal hygiene like face washing and brushing her teeth.

Jang Hye-jin's 'maximum excitement' moments provided unique entertainment. While eating, she swayed to music, and later, she belted out tunes from a music program, even tearing up with emotion, displaying her vibrant personality. Her manager, Lee Sang-hak, testified that her 'fun-loving' side contrasts sharply with her professional on-screen persona.

During the car ride to the premiere of 'The Lord of the World,' she shared a playful rapport with her manager, showing genuine family chemistry. She also had a touching video call with her second son in Turkey. Jang revealed that her son had a special appearance in the movie 'The World of Us,' and her eldest daughter had also appeared in several films.

Following Jang, singer Roy Kim's packed day as an 'embarrassment magnet' was depicted. After his previous appearance, where his clumsy shaving skills became a topic of discussion, Roy Kim attempted to shave again, following advice from Jun Hyun-moo. While he started smoothly, his reckless movements eventually led to a bleeding mishap, eliciting sympathetic reactions.

Roy Kim also brought smiles to viewers' faces by unboxing a gift box from his mother. The box contained an eclectic mix of items, including a self-defense kit and socks designed for holding hands. Despite his initial bewilderment, Roy Kim expressed his gratitude for his mother's unexpected gifts.

Stylist Lee Han-wook visited Roy Kim's home for a fitting of the outfits for his new song, 'Cannot Express It Differently.' The stylist had meticulously hand-crafted each piece to match the song's concept, earning admiration from the panelists. However, Roy Kim's awkward way of pulling off the outfits left everyone in laughter.

He then filmed a promotional short-form video for his new song with his YouTube channel producer, reflecting current trends. True to his childhood dream of being a comedian, Roy Kim displayed a humorous and lively persona, completely different from his usual ballad singer image, while filming.

Roy Kim also personally recruited audience members for a guerrilla concert to promote his new song. He appeared flustered by the unexpected difficulty of gathering a crowd but earnestly handed out invitations. To his relief, approximately 400 people attended, bringing him a touching sense of accomplishment. At the concert, he performed his existing hits and his new song with his signature soulful voice and emotional depth, leaving a lasting impression on his fans.

According to Nielsen Korea, the 371st episode of 'Omniscient Interfering View' recorded a 1.4% rating in the key demographic for 2049 viewers, ranking first among all programs in its time slot.

Next week's episode will feature the return of 'icon of gentlemen' Ji Hyun-woo, who will reveal his 'exercise-addicted' lifestyle and his dedication to preparing for a musical. Chef Yoon Nam-no will also make a comeback, unveiling his new home and visiting Kim Jung-hyun's factory to learn the secrets of processed meat production, promising further intrigue for viewers.

The show airs every Saturday at 11:10 PM.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically to Jang Hye-jin's relatable and lively daily life, with comments like 'Looks just like my mom,' 'Gotta try that baking soda trick,' and 'As expected, Fun Hye-jin!' For Roy Kim, remarks included 'He's bleeding while shaving again,' 'Singing is still Roy Kim,' and 'Cute embarrassment magnet.'
