When photos from her Miss Korea days in 1987 were revealed, panelist Shin Seung-hwan reminisced, saying, “It reminds me of my childhood when I used to watch TV with excitement,” and admired her beauty, which remains stunning even at 54.

Meanwhile, Jang Yoon-jung drew attention by sharing her life as a folk painting artist. Panelist Lee Seong-mi asked her about her impressive painting skills, including works like ‘Ilwol Obongdo’ and ‘Munjado’, and why she started painting folk art. Jang Yoon-jung revealed, “I started six years ago during a tough time when I followed a friend, and the more I painted, the more I fell in love with it. The colors of folk art are so beautiful, and the subtle hues bring me peace,” expressing her deep affection for folk painting.

Afterward, Jang Yoon-jung showcased her ‘cooking skills’ by preparing a New Year’s gathering for the representative of her agency, with everyone surprised by her ability to handle everything from abalone to oysters. When questions about her cooking skills poured in, she said, “I’m good at making spicy braised chicken because the kids love it, and I make japchae every holiday,” impressing the studio with her perfect appearance and exceptional cooking skills. The agency representative shared anecdotes from their company dinners, revealing, “Jang Yoon-jung drank without knowing her limit and ended up going to the sixth round, but I couldn’t reach her the next day,” causing a stir in the studio. In response, Jang Yoon-jung explained, “I can’t drink so I didn’t know my limit. I got drunk while eating,” and when panelist Shin Seung-hwan asked about her drinking habits, Jang Yoon-jung cheerfully shared, “When I’m drunk, I get really silly and my tone gets higher,” bringing laughter with her cute unexpected charm.

While talking, Jang Yoon-jung expressed her recent thoughts, saying, “After living a life for my children, I often think about ‘how I will live in the future’,” revealing her regrets about not pursuing her dreams until now.
