Baek Ji-yeon Reveals 'Autumn Strolls' with Lee Young-ae, Showcasing Close Friendship

Former anchor and broadcaster Baek Ji-yeon has revealed her special friendship with actress Lee Young-ae.

On the 17th, Baek Ji-yeon communicated with fans through a video uploaded to her YouTube channel, 'Now Baek Ji-yeon,' titled 'Namsan Circular Trail's Secret Course, Was There Such a Place?'

In the video, Baek Ji-yeon exclaimed, "Wow, what a great walking path. It feels like walking in a forest, in the mountains." Regarding her walking companions, she explained, "Since they live close to my house, I organize spontaneous 'let's walk?' meetups in Hannam-dong with friends who live nearby, saying 'The weather's great.'"

Notably, Baek Ji-yeon shared, "I often walk with Lee Young-ae. Actually, I walked this very path with Young-ae this morning too," surprising many. She added, "We originally had a brunch appointment, but we walked for about 1 hour and 30 minutes before brunch. Sometimes we walk for up to five hours," and "I really love walking. That's why I own so many sneakers. I have about 20 pairs."

Furthermore, Baek Ji-yeon offered tips on good walking shoes. She explained in detail, "When walking outdoors, I wear sneakers with thick cushioning. Today, I had to go somewhere immediately after filming, so I didn't wear my athletic shoes, but just chose the most comfortable pair from my everyday sneakers."

She continued, "In the morning, there's hardly anyone around, giving the feeling that I'm alone in the forest. It was so nice, but in the afternoon, it gets really crowded," and "When I have some time, I go further places. I go to Yangpyeong, and if I'm going somewhere nearby, Namsan has several entrances, so I come to Namsan very often. I think I visit about 100 days a year," expressing her affection for walking.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically to the news of Baek Ji-yeon frequently enjoying walks with Lee Young-ae. Comments poured in, such as "It's great to see their friendship," "So Lee Young-ae also enjoys walking?", and "Walking companions, I want to walk with them too!", adding to the heartwarming atmosphere.
