Model Hong Jin-kyung joined entertainer Lee So-ra for a mukbang session featuring actress Jeon Ji-hyun’s homemade recipe on the latest episode of MBC’s “Sora and Jin-kyung.” The duo prepared the dish right in Jeon Ji-hyun’s home, savoring it during an online English interview prep with an overseas agency.
From Skeptic to Fan: Hong’s First Bite
Hong Jin-kyung admitted it marked her first encounter with Jeon Ji-hyun’s cooking. Despite her self-proclaimed carnivore status, she dove in. Lee So-ra quipped, “That’s totally my style.” Hong confessed initial nerves but quickly raved about the flavor.
The star ingredient? A simple mix of six almonds. Hong explained its appeal: “Perfect for mornings—grab a handful, drink water, and feel completely full.” She credited it with helping her recover from a cold ahead of Paris Fashion Week on the 20th.
No Meat Needed for Maximum Enjoyment
“Even without meat, it’s delicious,” Hong declared. “If you’re not here, I’d devour all six almonds. With you around, maybe just two.” She emphasized its low-calorie appeal: “Calorie-conscious yet tasty. Skipping meat makes it even better—truly outstanding.”
Hong also shared mukbang tips, noting top performers master this effortlessly. “If mukbanging isn’t your path, just enjoy good food—it’s natural skincare,” she said. “Anyone eating with genuine delight looks incredibly appealing.”
Reflecting on past experiences, Hong revealed her previous mukbanger companion polished off an entire set meal from Jeon Ji-hyun. “Jeon Ji-hyun eats it too. Eat more yourself, mukbangers—real ones do,” she urged, delivering a playful message to fans of the trend.
