[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Hee-eun Park] Handagam appeared as a new chef on 'Pyeonstorang'.

On the 21st, the KBS 2TV show 'New Product Launch Pyeonstorang' featured Handagam, a 22-year veteran actress and newlywed of 7 months. On this day, Handagam showcased the family's innate cooking skills, from a 1000-pyeong traditional hanok mansion to her parents and herself.

In the broadcast, Handagam woke up in a hanok located on a wide yard. All the 'Pyeonstorang' members admired it, saying, "It looks like a hanok hotel."

Then, Handagam headed to the yard to play with her dogs she raises herself. The relaxed sight of the dogs freely running around the spacious yard was impressive, but soon another unbelievable scene unfolded. Another hanok was situated there. Upon entering, the interior stood out with a blend of classic elegance and modernity. It turned out this was the living space of Handagam's parents.

Especially on this day, Handagam's father showcased his cooking skills for the first time in a long while since his daughter's marriage. Using various organic vegetables he grew himself, he prepared a healthy meal including mugwort gimbap. Chef Lee Yeon-bok admired his cooking skills, saying, "Your father seems like a chef." It was also revealed that Handagam's father holds several cooking certificates.

Handagam also began demonstrating her cooking skills beside her father. Starting with stir-fried cuttlefish, she easily finished cooking a savory doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) made with homemade soybean paste. Her father, nearby, willingly assisted by going back and forth to the yard garden whenever she needed something.

The family gathered at the table continued their meal with healthy food made from wholesome ingredients in their own unique way. In particular, Handagam showed a mukbang by dipping soft steamed pumpkin leaf wraps deeply into the doenjang jjigae and then wrapping mugwort gimbap to eat.

The topic of conversation among the family at the table was Handagam's marriage. Her father, who cherishes his daughter very much, expressed bittersweet feelings recalling when she got married. In fact, he was greatly shocked by her marriage announcement.

Nevertheless, he showed extraordinary affection for his daughter by personally hanging about 100 cheongsachorong (traditional Korean lanterns) throughout the yard for her wedding.

Meanwhile, KBS 2TV's 'New Product Launch Pyeonstorang' airs every Friday at 9:40 PM.
