Former singers turned actors, Eugene and Ji Hyun-woo, are set to reveal their debut memories and the stories behind their transition to acting on the upcoming episode of 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2'.

The 47th episode, airing on the 19th at 9:10 PM, will feature the duo joining hosts Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube for a 'memorable flavors' special.

Following Eugene's 'plan', the four stars headed to a 38-year-old budae-jjigae (Korean sausage stew) restaurant in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul. Eugene shared that this was one of the first places she visited with her S.E.S. bandmates after her debut in 1997, building anticipation for the meal.

During a car ride between locations, Jeon Hyun-moo inquired about their journeys from music to acting. Ji Hyun-woo recalled starting as a session guitarist with a meager income, finding happiness in a 50,000 won daily wage as an extra. His face gained recognition, leading to a leading role and eventually passing the KBS public talent audition in 2003. Eugene, on the other hand, mentioned having turned down acting offers during her S.E.S. days, sparking curiosity about her reasons.

Eugene and Ji Hyun-woo will be portraying a married couple in the new MBN drama series 'First Lady'. Their shared experiences and candid conversations will be broadcast on the 19th.

Eugene, originally a member of the iconic K-pop group S.E.S., successfully transitioned into acting, earning praise for her roles in dramas like 'Penthouse' and 'Baker King, Kim Tak-gu'. She is known for her versatile acting skills and has been a consistent presence in the Korean entertainment scene. Her upcoming drama 'First Lady' marks another significant role in her acting career.
