[Edaily Reporter Son Eui-Yeon ] MBC’s “Omniscient Interferer” delivered a variety of entertainment to Saturday night viewers by revealing a day full of unexpected twists featuring the down-to-earth “cheerful woman” Ha Yoon-kyung and the timid “giant” Choi Hong-man.

In Episode 412 of the MBC variety show “Omniscient Interferer,” which aired on the 22nd, Ha Yoon-kyung—a “rising star” who has become a guaranteed hit in dramas like “The Odd Lawyer Woo Young-woo” and “Hospital Playlist” and has already secured four upcoming projects—made an appearance. Ha Yoon-kyung revealed a down-to-earth side of her daily life that was a complete 180-degree turn from her aloof image as an “actress specializing in serious roles.” With her entire home filled with items for her cats, Jeje and Dada, Ha Yoon-kyung showcased her side as “Cat Butler Ha,” prioritizing cleaning the litter box and preparing snacks for her cats over her own breakfast. Having practically given her home over to the two cats—to the point where she has almost no personal belongings—Ha Yoon-kyung radiated the warm glow of “spring sunshine” through her dedication, which includes contributing to a cat savings account for the past five years.

Stepping out into the sweltering heat, Ha Yoon-kyung headed to her favorite restaurant without even applying sunscreen, showcasing her down-to-earth, carefree charm as she enjoyed offal soup and a midday drink. The atmosphere grew even livelier when her close friends—ranging from a middle school classmate she’s known for 19 years to high school and college friends—gathered around her. They reminisced about their close bond, sharing stories ranging from how they persuaded Ha Yoon-kyung’s parents—who had initially opposed her dream of becoming an actress—to the moment they gifted her her first coffee truck during the filming of *The Odd Lawyer Woo Young-woo*. Furthermore, their “true friends” chemistry—evident in how they care for one another without pretense, even attending to their parents’ and families’ important events—brought cheerful smiles to everyone’s faces.

Ha Yoon-kyung’s fierce passion for her craft and unwavering dedication left a deep impression. Her meticulous efforts—such as consistently practicing suture knots with a surgical kit she received from actress Jung Ryeo-won to prepare for her role as a pediatrician in her upcoming project, *First Doctor*, and even researching medical papers—drew admiration. In particular, Ha Yoon-kyung, recalling her “gritty” days as an unknown actress—when she worked independently for five years without an agency, carrying around a professional makeup kit and a suitcase—demonstrated her professional demeanor even now that she’s signed to an agency, still handling her own hair, makeup, and wardrobe for simple schedules.

Later, at the 28th Jeongdongjin Independent Film Festival, where she attended to promote her lead role in *When I Grow Up*, actress Ha Yoon-kyung’s humanity and acting philosophy were fully on display. Arriving in Jeongdongjin with her hair and makeup perfectly styled as always, Ha Yoon-kyung approached even her senior actors without hesitation, adding a warm touch to the event. She also expressed her special affection and sincerity toward independent films, stating, “Independent films are my identity. It feels like going back to my student days when I acted purely for the sake of acting.” After watching the film with the audience past midnight, Ha Yoon-kyung shared her heartfelt thoughts, saying, “As an actress who once struggled in obscurity, I empathized with the character and acted with genuine sincerity,” leaving a deeply moving impression.

Next, Choi Hong-man set out to tackle a long-standing personal goal—his first dental treatment in 10 years. It was a comical scene from the start: his head got stuck in the X-ray machine, and even after three nurses had to hold his jaw in place to retake the image, the top and bottom of his face were still cut off in the X-ray, drawing laughter from the audience—though he himself remained on edge. Furthermore, he showed his “scaredy-cat” side by clutching a stuffed animal tightly just before receiving anesthesia for a tooth extraction. Although the problematic tooth was successfully removed, Choi Hong-man wrapped up his first dental visit in a decade with a gaunt, drained expression, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Choi Hong-man unveiled his newly acquired Seoul home for the first time to accommodate his expanding schedule, drawing attention with the unexpected interior of his bedroom, which was completely covered in Hello Kitty merchandise. Comedians Kim Won-hoon and Jo Jin-se, who visited for the housewarming party, burst into laughter upon seeing Choi Hong-man’s pink Hello Kitty bedroom. They also exuded the chemistry of true friends through their unrestrained pranks, such as punching him on the buttocks to “loosen up his tight hip muscles.” Choi Hong-man treated his guests to a nostalgic “spicy marinated crab stew” he prepared himself. He candidly shared stories ranging from a past romance where he received a love note from a flight attendant on a plane to the story behind his wrist tattoo—which bears the initials of his longest-term ex-girlfriend—culminating in a delightful housewarming party filled with both humor and playful teasing.

Meanwhile, next week’s episode will feature the energetic daily life of actress Seon Woo-yong-yeo—who is living a second life as the 82-year-old, oldest creator in the sitcom industry—as well as her special chemistry with a manager she met for the first time in 60 years. Additionally, anticipation is building for the unexpected daily life of former baseball player Hwang Jae-kyun, who lost 18 kg ahead of his retirement ceremony but is now dealing with bittersweet aftermath as the event was postponed due to an unprecedented heatwave.

“Omniscient Interfering View” airs every Saturday at 11:10 p.m. on MBC.
