Kim Ji-woo recounts, “Raymond Kim tasted my food and said, ‘Do you think you can serve this to customers?’ and even spat my food into the trash,” exposing Raymond Kim's harsh critiques, but also shows her affection by stating that he was the one who asked her out first, leading to their marriage after 9 and a half months.

In response, actress Kim Hee-ra also shares her past struggles with repeated audition failures that led her to leave the stage and sell clothes. Kim Hee-ra reveals, “I was quite famous while selling clothes. Gaining some leisure from trying other jobs gave me the courage to audition again,” sharing her story of returning to acting through her experience in clothing sales.
Meanwhile, Aiki shares her current situation, balancing the trending ‘World of Street Woman Fighter’ and musical performances. Aiki mentions, “When my daughter Yeon-woo saw me lose in a battle, she asked, ‘Mom, are you okay?’ and I pretended to be cool, saying, ‘How can I win all the time? I can lose too,’” showcasing her strong motherly side. She then shares her feelings about challenging herself in a musical for the first time, saying, “I didn’t know how to deliver the line ‘Let’s get a divorce’ in the play, so I asked my husband, and he said, ‘Do it like you did to me before,’” which made everyone laugh.
A time to look into the life of a star with close friends. Channel A’s ‘Close Friends Documentary – Four-Person Table’ airs every Monday at 8:10 PM.
