Former golfer Park Se-ri has confirmed the dating rumors that arose in the past with a 20-something chaebol heir.

On the 6th at 8 PM, the tvN STORY variety show ‘What’s the point of leaving it behind’ will feature a special episode with MC Jang Seo-hee and her foodie friends Hwang Chi-yeol, Park Ji-hyun, and Kim Poong, themed ‘A Pretty Sister Who Treats You Well’.

In the ‘A Pretty Sister Who Treats You Well’ special, MC Lee Young-ja will be joined by original Hallyu star Jang Seo-hee, who will make a surprise appearance as a special MC.

The first course prepared by special MC Jang Seo-hee, the ‘Seo-hee Tour’, will head to a trendy restaurant in Seongsu-dong known for its spicy monkfish stew. This place reinterprets monkfish stew to suit the tastes of the MZ generation, featuring potato pancakes enhanced with cheese and mixed with cod roe, rice balls with a delightful combination of chewy octopus and seaweed, and monkfish stew topped with fried intestines, boasting an overwhelming visual appeal.

Next, Park Se-ri will introduce unique desserts in her ‘Se-ri Tour’, raising expectations. Park Se-ri, who teased a shocking dessert called ‘19+ Dessert’, takes her foodie friends to a whiskey ice cream shop located in the trendy Seongsu-dong. The handmade base, filled with fresh vanilla beans and infused with whiskey, comes in five flavors: caramel, apple, orange, chocolate, and matcha, offering a unique dessert experience with a subtle whiskey aroma amidst the sweetness of the ice cream.

The grand finale, the ‘Young-ja Tour’, will take place in the heart of Gangnam, at a massive 200-pyeong Mexican restaurant that draws attention. The third restaurant, which captivates from the entrance with its enormous open kitchen and butter mountain, offers both visual and culinary enjoyment with its unique scale. Fish tacos made with whole fish fillets fried in beer batter, shrimp butter mole reinterpreted to suit Korean tastes with traditional Mexican mole sauce, and habanero and chimichurri chicken mole served with three types of mole sauce promise familiar yet exotic flavors.

Jang Seo-hee, a former child star who made her mark in China through the drama ‘Mermaid Lady’ and became a first-generation Hallyu star, reveals the truth behind the rumor of her 50 billion won drama appearance fee during her time in China, surprising everyone. Jang Seo-hee clarifies, “The 50 billion won is correct, but it was the total production cost of the drama, not my appearance fee,” drawing attention to the inflated rumors.

Park Se-ri attracts attention by revealing that she was constantly in relationships during her golfing career. She shares that she never took a break from dating and often held hands with her exes, expecting dating rumors to arise, but admits that the media actually protected her from such rumors.

In particular, regarding the dating rumors with the 20-something chaebol heir that sparked significant interest, she reveals that the other party confessed first, and thanks to her ex-boyfriend, her English improved quickly, sharing interesting dating stories. In response, Lee Young-ja sincerely remarks, “I’m envious. But I’m okay because I’m full. I would have gone crazy if I had been hungry,” eliciting laughter.

Additionally, she engages in a heated discussion about the ‘shrimp debate’ with Hwang Chi-yeol, Park Ji-hyun, and Kim Poong, continuing the exciting dating talk. Following this, Hwang Chi-yeol questions Lee Young-ja, Park Se-ri, and Jang Seo-hee about their ‘best moments in life’, opening a life counseling session that draws attention. The best moments in life of Lee Young-ja, Park Se-ri, and Jang Seo-hee, which will provide empathy and healing, will be revealed through the broadcast.

‘What’s the point of leaving it behind’ will air on the 6th at 8 PM on tvN STORY.
