Model and businessman Hong Jin-kyung confessed to the business failure.

In the video, Hong Jin-kyung was busy to invite Lee Ji-hye and Jang Young-ran home and serve them a meal. The menu prepared by Hong Jin-kyung is parobab, seasoned cockles, and stew with boiled pork. Lee Ji-hye and Jang Young-ran enjoyed all the food, admiring Hong Jin-kyung's cooking skills.




After the meal, Hong Jin-kyung said "2025 has dawned. Let's talk about the good things, the saddest things, and the bad things about last year and make a 25-year plan."

Hong Jin-kyung said "I personally had a bad time in 2024. I think it's the first time I've talked about it on the show, but there was a time when I changed 2024, and it didn't work out."

Hong Jin-kyung said "It wasn't because of anyone's fault, it was because of a natural disaster. "Because of the weather..." he confessed. "I produced a lot of dumplings and japchae in Spain, and the factory was Valencia. There was too big a flood." Last year, Hong Jin-kyung was preparing to enter Spain as a restaurant business. However, a total of 224 people were killed in October when eight hours of heavy rainfall occurred in Valencia.




Hong Jin-kyung said, "I was so depressed and tired`````````````````.

But Hong Jin-kyung said, `So the 2025 plan will not collapse here and start again. You do one, too. You're too bright," teased Jang Young-ran.

Jang Young-ran also confessed his hard work. Jang Young-ran "I broke up with the entertainment I've been in for a long time in 2024, and it was so hard to be alone. "It's unfamiliar. I have to do all the broadcasting and stuff by myself. If there's always a hard time, there's learning. Thank you, the manager, the stylist, and thank you for coming with me when I was having a hard time."
