Kim Shin Young keeps a breakfast streak most people could never manage. On the October 9 episode of MBC’s ‘I Live Alone,’ the comedian revealed she walked out the door without eating breakfast for the first time in 16 years.
According to Newsen’s report on the show’s 667th episode, Kim shared an update on her challenge to become a certified ‘rice sommelier.’ She had rushed out for a packed schedule, telling the cast, ‘For the first time in 16 years, I went out skipping my morning meal.’
‘Even if you tear me apart, I’m a kid who eats breakfast,’ she said, admitting the morning felt like ‘hell’ after 16 years of never missing it. The studio panel could hardly believe it: Dawn noted she had kept the habit going for 16 straight years, while Jeon Hyun Moo joked, ‘Isn’t that the more surprising thing?’
Kim said she takes the first meal of the day seriously, eating ‘the moment I open my eyes, no matter when I wake up.’ When Dawn asked whether she would eat even if she woke up at dawn to use the bathroom, Kim flatly replied, ‘That doesn’t happen.’
The exchange drew big laughs when Jeon Hyun Moo teased Dawn — known for eating very little — over the question, cracking, ‘You’re treating her like a fool. Who eats at dawn? What is she, a puppy?’
The rice sommelier preview aired at the end of the October 9 episode, with more to come in a future broadcast.
