On 'Salon Drip,' Gong Seungyeon shared a story about being kicked out barefoot by her father after hitting her younger sister, TWICE's Jeongyeon.

On the 14th, the 135th episode of web variety show 'Salon Drip,' titled 'Get ready to meet Team Grand Prince's Wife!' was posted on the Youtube channel TEO. This episode featured IU, Byun Wooseok, Noh Sanghyun, and Gong Seungyeon from the drama 'Perfect Crown.'

As the actors talked about their family, Gong Seungyeon, who is the eldest of three sisters with TWICE's Jeongyeon as the youngest, shared, "I used to hit both of my younger sisters a lot. My second sister and I are only a year apart, so we fought a lot. If I her her once, she'd hit me twice. Jeongyeon would try to stop us, and we'd say 'Stay out of it,' but she'd end up getting hit too." She recalled, "There was this one time Jeongyeon saw us fighting and said, 'I'm telling mom.' She ended up getting hit by a phone."

Gong Seungyeon also shared a story about being kicked out barefoot by her father. She said, "We were in our dad's car. I hit my sister and she cried out in pain. My dad suddenly stopped the car. It was winter and I happened to have taken off my shoes. After stopping the car, my dad opened the door and dragged me out onto the ground, then he just drove off." She continued, "The bust stop was about three stops away. I walked all the way home barefoot in the winter. As I walked, I kept saying, 'Yoo Jeongyeon, I'm seriously gonna kill you,'" causing laughter.

Gong Seungyeon noted that this didn't happen when they were very young, saying, "I think I was already a grown up at the time. Around 20 or 21," adding, "Later, I looked back and reflect on myself, thinking, 'How could I still be so immature even as an adult?'"

Gong Seungyeon revealed, "I apologized a lot to her because she had a shoot the next day. It was the day she filmed the teaser for her debut survival show 'SIXTEEN.' Her eye was bruised and swollen because I hit her. I hit the wrong spot," shocking everyone.

Jang Doyeon reacted, "It's a relief that she made it and debuted," to which Gong Seungyeon agreed, saying, "It would've been terrible if she couldn't debut because of that." Jang Doyeon said, "I really enjoyed watching 'SIXTEEN.' You appeared toward the end of the show and I thought, 'Whoa, her older sister is so pretty and seems to care so much for her.' I had no idea there was a story like this behind it."

On this day, Jang Doyeon asked Gong Seungyeon, the older sister of TWICE's Jeongyeon, "Does your sister give you feedback on your work?" to which Gong Seungyeon replied, "Not at all," and added, "She has no choice but to watch 'Perfect Crown.' She's such a huge fan of IU that when she shows off her copies of IU's albums, she tells me not to touch them," causing laughter.

IU also shared her experience attending a TWICE concert. Jang Doyeon noted, "I heard you went to the concert secretly."

IU responded, "I went because I really like TWICE," adding, "Jeongyeon later sent me a DM, but I didn't see it at the time. Seungyeon told me about it on set, so I sent my thanks later on."

Gong Seungyeon explained the situation, saying, "My sister said she wanted to invite IU to her concert, so I told her, 'Do you really think she'll see your DM? She probably gets so many messages.'"

Later, Jang Doyeon mentioned, "I heard that even if you receive invitation tickets, you always choose to pay with your own money to see the show." IU explained, "As a performer myself, watching concerts is a learning experience for me. I prefer to go secretly, watch the entire show, and just enjoy it."

IU also shared, "I've been to TWICE's concerts and also to D.O's concerts. I try to go to as many concerts as possible. It relieves stress and is very healing."

When Gong Seungyeon said, "I heard my sister wanted to give you an invitation ticket, but you already bought them yourself," IU replied, "It's because I really like TWICE," showing her feelings as a fan.

Gong Seungyeon added warmly, "I think that's why this drama became one that my sister will watch from beginning to end, even catching the live broadcasts."

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.
