Rookie actress Ha Young, known for her breakout role in the hit drama The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, is making headlines again — but this time, it's not for acting. On the May 16 broadcast of KBS 2TV’s Shin Sang Chul Si Pyeon Store (Pyeon Store), Ha Young opened the doors to her tiny, lived-in studio apartment and gave viewers a glimpse into her real-life personality.
The show kicked off with a VCR that looked more like a hidden camera scene. Viewers were greeted by a cluttered room packed with belongings — and Ha Young asleep in the middle of it all on the floor. When she suddenly woke up and noticed the camera, she gasped, “Oh my, what do I do?” before laughing and greeting everyone with a bright “Hello.” Even half-asleep, her natural beauty stood out, and her reaction had viewers smiling right away.
Ha Young revealed that she recently moved out of her family home, where she lived with her parents, older sister, brother-in-law, and niece. “I started living alone to focus more on acting practice,” she explained. “I haven’t been here long, so I haven’t finished unpacking. Please don’t misunderstand!” she added with a cheerful laugh.

Despite the small space — just 10 pyeong (around 35 square meters) — her energy filled the room. She showed off her easygoing and fun personality as she danced excitedly after finishing her food. Her loud reactions and bubbly charm had the production staff cracking up. In no time, she was sharing her homemade food with the staff, creating a warm, family-like atmosphere.
But the biggest surprise? Ha Young’s cooking skills. She didn’t just boil ramen — she added her own unique twists and even made fresh kimchi from scratch. Her passion for food and creative recipes impressed the Pyeon Store cast so much that they began taking notes. Celebrity chef Lee Yeon Bok couldn’t hide his praise, saying, “She’s the real deal. A treasure has arrived at Pyeon Store.”
From chaotic mornings to cheerful meals, Ha Young’s first appearance on a variety show was full of relatable moments, big laughs, and surprising talent.
Fans are now looking forward to seeing even more of her real-life charm beyond the screen.
