Actor Kim Tae-hee is making a rare variety show appearance to support her close friend, star makeup artist Jung Saem Mool.
On the May 2 episode of MBC’s Omniscient Interfering View, K-beauty pioneer Jung Saem Mool returns to the show for the first time in four years, revealing her unexpected charms as she moves between work and everyday life.
Opening up about menopause-related changes, Jung candidly shares the discomforts she’s been experiencing and unveils her personal routine to overcome them. From washing her face with only water (no cleanser) to soothing her skin with refrigerated products, plus scalp care and exfoliation, she drops time-tested beauty tips from years of experience.
The daily life she shares with her two daughters—who have grown up so much over the past four years—also catches attention. In one scene, Jung is flustered to find her teen’s makeup pouch packed with rival brands. When her daughter asks for help, Jung draws her eyeliner—but breaks into a sweat as the requests for “one more tweak” keep coming, showing another kind of struggle for the legendary artist.
Most of all, longtime friend Kim Tae-hee appears on the broadcast, instantly stealing the spotlight. The two, who have stayed close since Kim’s rookie days, spend time chatting and laughing together. Kim reveals an unexpected “serious about food” side, while Jung shares heartwarming stories about how thoughtfully Kim looks after the staff.
The duo also swap expertise from their own fields. Jung passes along practical self-makeup pro tips to Kim, who voices her concerns about doing her own makeup, and Kim returns the favor with savvy homemaking know-how—sparking a chorus of relatable nods.
Anticipation is high to see what synergy will come from the special meeting between a global beauty expert and a top actress. The episode airs on the 2nd at 11:10 p.m.
