Model Shiho Yano prepares a special dish for her husband, Sung-hoon Choo, on KBS2’s variety show Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant — and ends up in tears.
The March 20 broadcast of Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant will spotlight Yano’s daily life. Always bright and energetic, the 50-year-old reveals the secret behind her toned physique and opens up about cherished memories with her husband.
On the show, Yano shares the healthy meal plan she has followed consistently. As quick, simple, tasty, and healthy recipes roll out, the cast reacts with, "I want to try this right now." Yano points to ma (Chinese yam) as one of her go-to ingredients, jokingly calling it "eel from the mountains," which draws laughs. She then lightens the mood further with a playful quip: "I should feed this to Sung-hoon Choo."
With their 17th wedding anniversary approaching, Yano sets up a surprise for Choo. She decides to recreate a dish packed with newlywed memories — one she hasn’t made in 15 years — and admits she’s caught between excitement and nerves.
Even after finishing the dish, she worries, saying, "I’m afraid he won’t remember it." But the mood flips the moment Choo takes his first bite and reacts in a completely unexpected way. One simple line from Choo brings back years of memories — and Yano can’t hold back her tears.
The heartfelt moment, born from a memory-filled dish and her husband’s genuine reaction, is set to leave viewers deeply moved.
