Entertainer Hyun Young to Reveal Birth Secret and Showcase 'Multi-Talented' Charm on 'Baekban Haeng' in Suwon

Model-turned-entertainer Hyun Young is set to captivate viewers with her diverse talents on TV CHOSUN's 'Baekban Haeng' (also known as 'Gourmet Huh Young-man's Baekban Trip').

In the episode airing today (9th) at 7:50 PM, Hyun Young will take viewers on a culinary journey through her hometown, Suwon. As a proud daughter of Suwon, she will guide the audience to a variety of local eateries, from a highly recommended rib restaurant scouted through her acquaintances to a long-standing establishment that has been operating for over 30 years.

Debuting as a supermodel in 1997, Hyun Young has successfully expanded her career into hosting, singing, and acting, establishing herself as a 'multi-talented entertainer.' Her vibrant energy is expected to shine through in this episode. Reports indicate she made a grand entrance reminiscent of a fashion runway, followed by energetic performances of her hit songs 'Noona's Dream' and 'Love Revolution' in her signature cute, nasal tone. She also showcased her 'Queen of Home Shopping' hosting skills with a lively sales pitch for dried pollack stew.

Furthermore, Hyun Young will share a personal 'birth secret' for the first time on 'Baekban Haeng.' She revealed that during the 1970s, when the 'Let's Have Only Two Children and Raise Them Well' campaign was in full swing, her father underwent surgery believing he wouldn't have any more children. Despite this, Hyun Young, the youngest daughter, was born, overcoming odds of 0.02%. Her humorous and touching birth story is anticipated to be a highlight of the broadcast.

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon will also make a special appearance. Boasting a unique connection with Hyun Young, who serves as an ambassador for Gyeonggi Province, he will act as a special guide for Suwon. He plans to lead Hyun Young and host Huh Young-man to his favorite spots, including a regular cafe and a favorite kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) restaurant. At the kalguksu place, Kim Dong-yeon becomes emotional when recalling his mother's past struggles during a time of poverty, where she would give the noodles to her children and only eat the broth herself. Witnessing his tears interspersed with enthusiastic eating, Hyun Young jokingly recommended he debut as a mukbang (eating broadcast) star, bringing laughter to the set.

Before her entertainment debut, Hyun Young also revealed her entrepreneurial success in her early twenties during the episode. Her witty remarks, unexpected charm, and Governor Kim Dong-yeon's heartfelt stories are expected to draw significant viewer interest.
