Top-model-turned-TV stars Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung are meeting on screen again after 15 years.
On the 1st, MBC announced that the new reality show Sora and Jinkyung will premiere on the 26th and dropped a teaser capturing the pairs long-awaited reunion. Sora and Jinkyung follows the two first-generation models, now in their 50s, as they take on the challenge of stepping back onto the runway.
The teaser lays bare the complex emotions of two friends whove been apart for years. Once known in the industry as inseparable besties, Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung reportedly hadnt seen each other for over 15 years. Ahead of their reunion, they carefully open up about feelings they hadnt been able to share.
Lee So-ra recalls, "Everyone went through a tough time," while Hong Jin-kyung adds, "I think we naturally drifted apart because we were so worn out." Busy with their own careers, the two grew distantand it took a long time to finally face each other again.
Right before reuniting, they admit, "We might cry," revealing a mix of excitement and nerves. When they finally sit down together, they quickly close the gap with honest confessions like, "We went through so much," and, "It wasnt easy to pull out those old wounds." Their candid conversation raises anticipation for how their relationship will evolve.
More than just a reunion, the program also documents their full preparation to return to the stage. The producers shared, "Their professional effort to get back on the runway and the emotional changes along the way will deliver both empathy and fun for viewers."
Capturing Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyungs reunion and their new runway challenge, Sora and Jinkyung premieres on the 26th at 9:10 p.m. (KST) on MBC.
