Hong Jin-kyung's daughter Rael, who is studying abroad, is fluent in four languages, including English. In the second episode of MBC's variety program 'Sora and Jin-kyung', Hong Jin-kyung prepares for an English interview with Rael in anticipation of a Paris agency meeting. Rael, who recently provided fluent simultaneous interpretation during a U.S. business meeting, was hired as a top-tier tutor. She first observes her mother's interview demeanor and points out a lack of confidence, then advises her mother to 'Love yourself' and offers ways to become confident independently, aligning with the MZ generation's style. As Rael immerses herself in her role as a passionate teacher, helping her mother regain mental composure, she abruptly declares, 'I'm not doing this anymore!' and ends the tutoring sessions. The episode explores the realistic mother-daughter conflict, with high expectations for Hong Jin-kyung to overcome her daughter's hurt feelings and complete the English interview preparation. Meanwhile, despite ongoing preparations including diet management, walking practice, and English study, the first hurdle—sending their portfolio and walking video to a local Paris agency—has become a crisis, as no response has been received. The episode's highlight is the anticipated Paris trip, with the question of whether Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung will receive a reply and board the flight remains unresolved.
