Lee Hyori and her mom are working on their relationship, cooking together and even drafting an agreement.

On the June 30 episode of JTBC's 'Mom, Shall We Go on a Trip Alone?', Lee Hyori and her mom went on a sauna date to warm up from the wind and rain. It was their first time visiting a sauna together, where they enjoyed a simple date, made towel head wraps, and relaxed in a salt room to relieve their fatigue.

Seeing her mom enjoying the sauna while she fled from the heat, Lee Hyori said with a bittersweet smile, "It seems like you like the sauna the most during this trip," and added, "I think daughters should endure it," showing the importance of patience.

After the sauna, they enjoyed roasted eggs and sikhye, a sweet rice drink, a must-do at a Korean sauna. During this time, they talked and created a special agreement to improve their mother-daughter relationship, raising expectations.

Lee Hyori, who brought special bracken from Jeju Island, prepared a special dish for her mom for the first time in about 30 years.

Watching her daughter cook, Lee Hyori’s mom was amazed and said, "This is a sight I’ve never seen before." She couldn’t stop eating, enjoying the meal her youngest daughter made.

Even though she was full, she finished her bowl and proudly called family members to boast about the special dish, touching the hearts of viewers.

'Mom, Shall We Go on a Trip Alone?' will air on June 30 at 9:10 PM.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
