Hwa Sa shared her thoughts on receiving a shout-out from Jensen Huang.

On the August 9 broadcast of SBS's "My Little Old Boy", Han Hye-jin was shown meeting up and spending time with Hwa Sa.

During the broadcast, the two enjoyed shopping at Namdaemun Market before visiting Hwa Sa's favorite restaurant. Hwa Sa raised expectations by saying, "This place is the origin of deokjajjim. After trying it here once and finding it so delicious, I looked around for other places that make deokjajjim, but there are none. There is no other cooking method like this."

Eating deokjajjim, which got its name because it gives you a lot of blessings, Hwa Sa showcased her unique eating broadcast. In response, Han Hye-jin brought laughter by saying, "It makes me think of when you ate gopchang (beef tripe)," and adding, "Aren't you the only person on Earth to win an award for eating something?"

In the past, Hwa Sa became a hot topic for her gopchang eating broadcast, which even led to a gopchang shortage. Commenting on this, Han Hye-jin caught attention by saying, "Back then, you ate gopchang and gopchang ran out across the country, and now Deok-ja is going to dry up."

Hwa Sa, who shared that she has been eating well since she was a child, said, "I wondered if I received blessings because I ate well. When I went to the cafeteria back in school, the ladies would give me a lot if I greeted them well. I would greet them in a booming voice so they would give me one more sausage, so I always greeted them well to get a lot of food."

When Han Hye-jin asked why she went that far, Hwa Sa confessed that she had no choice as she grew up in a household with many daughters where food competition was fierce.

Hwa Sa continued, "I always greeted them loudly in the cafeteria, and the kitchen ladies grew fond of me. Then, a musical offer came in." She recalled, "An acquaintance of the cafeteria lady was a musical planning director, and the lady recommended me, saying there was a kid at our school with a clear voice. So I went to audition right away and immediately landed the role of Patjwi. It was a huge musical. The other friends who auditioned together all had a lot of career experience."

Hearing this, Han Hye-jin remarked, "So you were drafted straight from the school cafeteria." Hwa Sa brought laughter by saying, "I just greeted people because I wanted to eat a lot of food, and that's how it turned out."

Han Hye-jin then asked, "Do turning points in your life happen every time you eat something?" Hwa Sa answered seriously, "Seeing the gopchang phenomenon, I seriously wondered back then if there really was something about me."

Following this, Han Hye-jin brought up Jensen Huang's shout-out to Hwa Sa, saying, "What happened with Jensen Huang? I doubted my eyes." Hwa Sa replied, "They said everyone thought it was all AI. Actually, I received more text messages than when I hit number one with 'Good Good'. People were congratulating me, but at first, I didn't think much of it because he wasn't someone I knew well. I was clueless about economics."

Hwa Sa added, "At first, I thought he must have studied K-pop. Because I couldn't believe it." She mentioned Jensen Huang expressing his fandom for her, saying, "After that, I wrote him a letter and gave it to him along with an album. But before he left, he spoke to me again. That's when I realized he was truly sincere."

Han Hye-jin then joked, "Didn't he say if he has a favorite model? I've put on a little weight, but I still look pretty good." Hwa Sa responded with a straight face, "Unnie, you're embarrassing me."

Han Hye-jin then joked, "Didn't you ask him to give you about 100 shares? They're not that expensive. Tell him to give you 500 shares again." Hwa Sa turned serious again and said, "Unnie, you're embarrassing me."
