MBC ‘Omniscient Interfering View’
Having become a dominant force in short-form with her “Chav Unnie” content that introduces British English and culture, the 1.56 million influencer ‘Honorary Briton’ Baek Jin-gyeong is set to appear on MBC ‘Omniscient Interfering View’.
Episode 384 of MBC variety show ‘Omniscient Interfering View’ (planned by Kang Young-seon; directed by Kim Yunjip, Jeon Jae-uk, Kim Hae-ni, Jeong Dong-sik, Lee Da-un; written by Yeo Hyeon-jeon), airing on Saturday the 7th, will reveal a ‘Briiish’ day in the life of ‘Honorary Briton’ Baek Jin-gyeong, a 1.56 million influencer and a plus-size model active in the UK.
Now in her seventh year living in the UK, ‘Honorary Briton’ Baek Jin-gyeong explained that she creates content that sets straight those unfamiliar with the UK (?) while introducing ‘Briiish’ culture. Yet, hailing from Ansan in Gyeonggi Province, she confessed that there are times when her “K-Korean self bursts out,” sharing her unique struggles. In fact, she shocked the panel by revealing a twist in taste: preferring maesil tea over milk tea, Korean food over brunch, and listening to K-ballads when working out.
At the same time, true to being ‘Briiish’ and earnest about protecting the environment, she carries her favorite mug all day, and throughout the studio recording she corrected the Konglish pronunciation of the panelists, delivering fresh laughs with wit befitting an ‘Honorary Briton’. On top of that, she reportedly brought the house down by recreating the British “tough unnie” makeup look known as ‘chav makeup,’ characterized by ocher-toned foundation, jet-black brows, and thick eyeliner.
Meanwhile, ‘Honorary Briton’ Baek Jin-gyeong’s British husband will be revealed on air for the first time. A younger Londoner and a nationally popular actor active in Ireland, he shared that he and Baek had a fateful cross-border first meeting through a dating app. Their movie-like love story can be seen on MBC ‘Omniscient Interfering View’ at 11:10 p.m. on Saturday the 7th.
