Lee Hye-won from 'Overstepping Family' recalled her struggles while living abroad, saying, "During my newlywed days, I made kimchi myself, and my arms were so spicy from the red pepper powder that I couldn't sleep at night."
The 87th episode of Channel A's 'Overstepping Family,' airing on the evening of the 12th at 8:10 p.m., will feature the 'super-sized' kimjang experience of Kim Ro-un and Roberts, parents of the Oh brothers living in Las Vegas, USA.
On that day, the 'American family' enjoys a splash in their home pool. Following that, 'big spender' Kim Ro-eun prepares 10 packets of ramen in her signature 'pot' and serves it as a snack. While enjoying a ramen eating show, a situation arises where the kimchi runs out, prompting Kim Ro-eun to declare after much contemplation, "We need to make kimchi." Traveling 4 hours with her husband and children, Kim Ro-eun heads to Koreatown in LA, where she enters a Korean mart with a Korean sign to purchase ingredients. She explains, "The prices here are much cheaper than in Las Vegas, so even though it takes 4 hours by car, I can't help but come. I've never seen anything this cheap..."
Amid curiosity about the price situation at the Korean mart that excites Kim Ro-eun, she returns home and gathers her neighbors for an unprecedentedly large kimjang. Upon seeing local Americans wearing rubber gloves to mix the kimchi filling, Lee Hye-won reminisces, saying, "I also remember not sleeping at night while making kimchi during my newlywed days. My arms were so spicy from the red pepper powder that my skin felt sore all night." In response to Lee Hye-won's concern for the skin health of her neighbors, Ahn Jung-hwan noted, "That's why I remember doing the ‘ho~’ for you," while Yoo Se-yoon sent a jealous look, saying, "So sweet~."
Finally, after a series of ups and downs, as the kimjang ends, Kim Ro-eun prepares geotjeori and boiled pork, a kimjang staple, and generously serves it to her friends. While everyone is enjoying their meal, 'hongeo' appears as a 'special menu' for the day. Seeing this, Chris, the 'American representative,' worries, saying, "Such food cannot be found in America. (Hongeo) is really unfamiliar to Americans." As the studio cast collectively feels tense, the local people cautiously taste the hongeo for the first time. There is a storm of curiosity about the 'true reaction' of Americans who are trying hongeo for the first time.
The 'American family's' trip to LA, along with their 'chaotic' kimjang experience, will be revealed in the 87th episode of Channel A's 'Overstepping Family,' airing on the evening of the 12th at 8:10 p.m.
