A revamped version of 'Dining With You' returns with charm and conversation
Kim Hee-sun is making her return to the variety scene as the main MC of JTBC's brand-new show One Dinner Together (Korean title: Han-kki Hap-sho). With her signature charm and wit, she'll be setting the tone for a show that blends everyday meals with meaningful conversation.
🍚 From "Give Me Dinner" to "Let's Share Dinner"
This program is a spiritual successor to JTBC's hit show Dining With You (Han-kki Jup-sho), which wrapped up in 2020. While the previous show focused on visiting strangers' homes to ask for a meal, One Dinner Together (Han-kki Hap-sho) signals a new approach—sharing stories and food on a mutual table.
The title says it all: it's no longer about asking ("줍쇼" = "please give") but coming together ("합쇼" = "let's do it together"). It's about collaboration over conversation and cuisine.
🎤 Co-hosted by Kim Hee-sun and Tak Jae-hoon
Joining Kim Hee-sun is fellow entertainer Tak Jae-hoon, a duo with proven chemistry from past shows like SBS's My Little Old Boy. Their witty back-and-forth and comic synergy have previously delighted viewers, with Kim earning the nickname "Tak Jae-hoon's match."
A source from the production team told Dispatch,
"Kim Hee-sun and Tak Jae-hoon bring a refreshing charm that will brighten viewers' evenings. We're excited about the joy their chemistry will bring."
🎥 New Format, Familiar Warmth
While the full format of the show remains under wraps, it's been confirmed that actor Yoo Hae-jin will appear as the very first guest. The inclusion of surprise guests each episode is expected to be a major highlight, as they join for a heartfelt meal and stories.
Kim Hee-sun previously appeared in tvN's Let's Have a Meal in July last year, where her spontaneous "meal meetups" with co-hosts Lee Soo-geun and Lee Eun-ji earned a warm response from viewers.
🎨 Kim Hee-sun's Expanding Career
Beyond acting and hosting, Kim is also stepping into the world of art as an art director. She is actively involved with H.Art, a collective created by Hinge Entertainment and Ray Village that introduces works by both renowned and emerging Korean artists.
