Son Ye Jin is giving fans a rare look inside her home. The actress will appear on the upcoming episode of JTBC’s cooking variety show Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, where she opens the refrigerator she shares with her husband Hyun Bin and their son for the very first time on television.
A preview that aired on September 6 already created buzz across social media. In the clip, Son Ye Jin shows off homemade side dishes, talks about her son’s eating habits, and shares a funny confession about a special ingredient she secretly took from a gift Hyun Bin received.
First Variety Show Appearance in Four Years
Son Ye Jin’s appearance on Please Take Care of My Refrigerator marks her return to variety television after a long break. Her last variety show guesting was on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block back in 2022. That means it has been about four years since viewers last saw her in this kind of unscripted entertainment setting.
The show’s chefs could not hide their excitement when they saw Son Ye Jin walk in during the trailer. Chef Choi Hyun Seok made everyone laugh when he said, “Even older men can still feel romantic feelings!” Other chefs called her the “Nation’s First Love” and praised her beauty.
Homemade Side Dishes and Her Son’s Big Appetite
Inside the refrigerator, viewers got a peek at the everyday food the family enjoys. Son Ye Jin prepared several homemade side dishes herself, including braised soy sauce beef (jangjorim). The chefs tasted her cooking and immediately praised it, saying it was delicious.
When the hosts asked about her son’s eating habits, Son Ye Jin proudly shared that her child loves her cooking. She said her son eats the side dishes by the spoonful and even drinks up the broth. She described how he enthusiastically scoops up the food and slurps the soup. The moment gave viewers a warm and relatable picture of family mealtime.
The Secret Ingredient She Took From Hyun Bin
The most talked-about moment from the preview came when Son Ye Jin pulled out a special ingredient. She explained that her husband Hyun Bin had received it as a gift and told her it was very valuable. Then she confessed with a laugh, “So I secretly brought it along”.
The exact ingredient was not fully revealed in the preview, leaving viewers curious about what it could be. The playful confession showed a funny side of their marriage. Rather than telling a grand love story, Son Ye Jin shared the kind of small household moment that many couples can relate to.
What to Expect From the Full Episode
The upcoming episode will feature professional chefs competing to create dishes using ingredients from Son Ye Jin’s refrigerator. They have a 15-minute time limit to cook. The chefs prepared their menus keeping in mind that Son Ye Jin enjoys chewy textures in her food.
After tasting the finished dishes, Son Ye Jin reportedly expressed great satisfaction, saying, “This is something I really love. It’s truly delicious”.
The full episode of Please Take Care of My Refrigerator featuring Son Ye Jin airs on September 13 at 8:50 p.m. KST on JTBC.
