Model and broadcaster Hong Jinkyung shared updates on her life and honestly opened up about her recent feelings.

On the 14th, a video titled 'Oldest Noona Hong Jinkyung appears, unpredictable talk beginsㅋㅋ' was released on the Youtube channel 'Alddal_Cham.'

In the video, Hong Jinkyung appeared as a guest and shared updates on her recent life.

Heo Kyunghwan said, "Among your closest friends, aren't there Nam Changhee and Jo Seho?" adding, "I'm close with them too and we have similar builds, so I've thought about joining that group at least once."

To this, Muzie added, "Noona adores Changhee and Seho, but they actually adore Noona even more. They even constantly check on her condition."

Hong Jinkyung said, "If I look unwell, Seho would call me in the morning, noon, and night," adding, "We aren't like seniors and juniors, we're like friends. When I meet them, I don't even pay for the drinks. They treat me," which made everyone laugh.

She continued, "It's not on purpose, but I don't think a relationship where the senior always has to pay is healthy. So, I somehow avoid paying." Muzie replied, "That sounds even less healthy."

Hong Jinkyung continued, "When we go for a second round of drinks and it's time to pay, I pretend to be asleep. They even call a black taxi for me. People think I'm the one taking care of the younger ones, but the truth is, they are the one who spends money to come and see me."

When Heo Kyunghwan asked, "Do you have any worries these days?" Hong Jinkyung replied, "I'm sorry to say this, but there's never been a time in my life as peaceful as now," drawing attention.

She added, "It's not that I don't have any worries. It's just that I've stopped being greedy. By lowering my expectations for life, I've actually become more grateful."

Meanwhile, Hong Jinkyung married a businessman five years older than her in 2003 and had a daughter, Rael, in 2010. She divorced last year after 22 years of marriage.

DinDin had his marriage luck read.

On the 13th, a video featuring DinDin as a guest was released on comedian Lee Gukjoo's YouTube channel.

In the video, Lee Gukjoo read DinDin’s fortune using tarot cards.

When Lee Gukjoo asked, “Is there anyone you’re thinking about marrying?” DinDin replied, "Should we check for one or two people?"

Looking at the tarot cards DinDin drew, Lee Gukjoo interpreted, "It's fine. I don't know why you're hesitating right now. The relationship used to be solid, but now you're standing at a crossroads. There's a bit of a wall. It's as if you're thinking, 'Should I wait and see?'"

When DinDin asked, "What kind of wall?" Lee Gukjoo said, "You already know it’s something you can't overcome, but you’re still going for it anyway."

DinDin revealed, "It's because things were really good in the past. Because of those memories, I wonder, 'Is she the one?' But now I know we're just not compatible."

Next, as he drew a card for a second woman, DinDin said, "I hope I don't get a good card. If I do, I’ll end up drunk-calling her," drawing laughter.

Lee Gukjoo interpreted, “Your feelings are overflowing. Your sincerity comes out much stronger with this person. You want to express your heart, and eventually, you will feel like you need to do something to win her over."

DinDin added, "The last person we checked is indeed someone I have feelings for. I picked the person I like the most for the tarot reading. It wouldn've been awkward if the result turned out bad."

In response, the production staff asked, "Is that person not here?" referring to Jo Hyunyoung, who filmed virtual marriage content with DinDin in the past. DinDin snapped, saying, "She's not even in the same category. That's really rude," firmly drawing a line.
