Choi appears as the eleventh “My Star” guest on the Dec. 19 episode, airing Friday at 11:10 p.m. KST. Lee has famously named the veteran broadcaster as his ideal type for years, setting the stage for extra sparks when she finally steps into his care.
A pillar of Korean broadcasting, Choi has hosted Choi Hwa-jung’s Power Time on SBS PowerFM since 1996, becoming the network’s longest-running female radio DJ. She’s also dominated home shopping with Choi Hwa-jung Show since 2016 and recently hit a second heyday on YouTube with Hello, This Is Choi Hwa-jung, proving her enduring star power.
Teaser clips already had fans buzzing, and the full episode leans into the chemistry. Reuniting after forging a bond on the 2014 drama Wonderful Days, the trio slips into a subtle, low-key rivalry, with Lee and Kim circling the ever-charming Choi in a playful triangle. Viewers will see how Lee, who’s never been shy about calling Choi his ideal, behaves when she becomes his “My Star.”
True to her cheeky motto, “If it’s delicious, it’s zero calories,” Choi unleashes an unstoppable appetite, showing off serious foodie instincts and even racking up a “four meals in one day” feat that leaves the 'My Grumpy Secretary'n team stunned.
Watch the flirty, age-gap triangle between the irresistibly charismatic Choi and her younger managers unfold on 'My Grumpy Secretary,' Friday, Dec. 19 at 11:10 p.m. KST.
