On the latest episode of KBS 2TV's 'Shinsang Market, Please' (ํธ์คํ ๋), viewers were treated to a heartwarming, yet ultimately surprising, glimpse into the home of K-pop star Kim Jae-joong.

Initially, Kim's parents expressed their approval of Hibab, with his father noting that she seemed like a suitable match for his son, particularly highlighting her apparent lack of pickiness and enjoyment of food. This initial positive impression, however, was quickly overturned when Hibab began her signature mukbang. The sheer volume and intensity of her eating left Kim's parents visibly stunned, creating a humorous and memorable moment for the show's audience.
