Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung recently revealed a surprisingly relatable and amusing reason she once ended up in the emergency room, leaving fans and fellow guests on JTBC’s “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator” in stitches.
Sooyoung’s Delicious Dilemma
Appearing alongside veteran singer Uhm Jung Hwa, Sooyoung shared a hilarious anecdote about her insatiable love for delicious food. “Once I find something delicious, I keep eating it,” she confessed. “During a company dinner, I ate kimchi noodle soup. I like eating it with meat.”
She continued her story, detailing the alarming symptoms that followed her culinary indulgence. “While eating that, suddenly my head was hurting so much. I felt so full that blood wasn’t flowing properly,” Sooyoung explained, describing the discomfort. The situation escalated, leading her to seek urgent medical attention. “I went to the emergency room and vomited everything out, and then I felt better,” she concluded, her frankness surprising the show’s viewers.
When Good Food Becomes Too Good
When probed about whether she continued eating despite the growing discomfort, Sooyoung’s answer perfectly encapsulated her food philosophy: “The thought of it being delicious was stronger than feeling full.” This sentiment resonated deeply with Chef Yoon Nam No, who quickly chimed in, “I know what that’s like. I’m good at that. I went to the emergency room once too!”
Chef Yoon Nam No recounted his own memorable experience from his mid-20s. “I ate Korean beef two-plus grade for the first time at a company dinner. The taste was so overwhelming. Between soju and the food I ate, it was about 1.1 kg. My oxygen supply got cut off.” His story provided a humorous parallel to Sooyoung’s incident, highlighting the universal struggle with resisting truly delectable meals.
Wrapping up the segment, a laughing Sooyoung emphasized her passionate relationship with food once more: “I love eating too much. I really love delicious food.” Her honest confession about her overeating mishap certainly provided a unique and memorable moment, proving that even K-Pop idols can fall victim to the irresistible allure of a good meal.
