In 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant,' actress Ha-young displayed an amazing presence from her first appearance.

On the broadcast of KBS 2TV's entertainment show 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' (shortened to 'Fun-Staurant') on the 16th, new chef Ha-young made her debut. As the most anticipated actress of 2025, Ha-young's first challenge in entertainment through 'Fun-Staurant' had viewers excited. The unveiled cooking routine and charm of Ha-young were powerful enough to surpass high expectations.

That day, Ha-young said, "I love to eat and I eat a lot," and regarding her cooking skills, she noted, "I’m not very good, but I enjoy it." Though she expressed modestly, in reality, Ha-young is a true expert who has mastered Korean, Western, and baking cuisines. This led to an increase in expectations for Ha-young's cooking routine.

There was nothing superficial visible in Ha-young's daily life that was revealed. Having lived with a large family at her home, Ha-young recently began living alone in a 33 square meter studio to prepare for her upcoming work. Perhaps due to not yet having unpacked, belongings were piled up all over the house. Then, Ha-young, who had spread a blanket in the middle of her room and fallen asleep, woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, Ha-young greeted the camera. It was her first real variety show, so she found the camera unfamiliar.

What was eye-catching were the numerous drawings, all of which were Ha-young's works. Ha-young said, "I've majored in art for over 10 years. After graduating from Ewha Womans University with a degree in Western painting, I attended the School of Visual Arts in New York, one of the top three art schools. While attending graduate school, I took acting classes, which was an intense experience. I resolved to act without hesitation." After that choice, Ha-young put forth her best effort and grew into a leading actress in just six years.

Ha-young received praise for her detailed portrayal of a nurse in the globally top-ranked series 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call.' In fact, Ha-young has a father and sister who are doctors, and her mother is a nurse. Ha-young revealed, "I think working part-time at the hospital where my parents work helped me feel the atmosphere there."

Meanwhile, Ha-young amazed everyone with her unique love for ramen and mukbang. She took ramen from a ramen vault stocked with various types. At that moment, she revealed her kick of adding spicy sauce. After completing the spicy ramen, Ha-young literally devoured it. She also mixed in rice and finished it off in no time. Ha-young's mukbang, which showed perfect slurping of the noodles, had the 'Fun-Staurant' studio in an uproar.

In addition, Ha-young made her own incredibly famous pickled cabbage in her studio apartment and transformed ramen using anchovy broth into yakisoba with her own recipe. Throughout the cooking process, she shared numerous tips learned from her experiences. Chef Lee Yeon-bok was amazed, saying, "A treasure has come to 'Fun-Staurant.'" Currently 31 years old, Ha-young stated, "I have about 20 years of cooking experience."

Ha-young shined in her cooking skills and unpretentious charm, but what stood out the most was her "amazing energy." From the moment she opened her eyes, cooked ramen, and throughout her cooking, Ha-young exuded tremendous enthusiasm and happy vibes. Naturally, she asked the staff for assistance and humorously referenced her acting character in 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,' creating a 'Ramen Trauma Center.' It was clear why her nickname is 'Haeng-ha (Happy Ha-young).'

NEW chef Ha-young has arrived, excelling in cooking, mukbang, energy, and charm. From her first appearance, she made a powerful impact on 'Fun-Staurant,' captivating viewers at home on Friday evenings. It is exciting and anticipated to see what kind of treasure-like performances she will showcase on 'Fun-Staurant' in the future. 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' airs every Friday at 8:30 p.m.
