Kim Nam-jooActress Kim Nam-joo has opened up about her fear of flying.

During the recent filming of episode 9 of the new SBS Life entertainment program 'Queen of Taste Kim Nam-joo,' Kim Nam-joo shared her airplane trauma story while at a team-building event in Gijang, Busan City, with her staff.

At a rice cake shop, Kim Nam-joo revealed, "I'm not feeling great," explaining, "It was raining on our flight to Gijang, and the plane shook. I have a trauma from when a flight to Jeju Island had to circle back for 40 minutes due to rain. It was terrifying not being able to see anything outside..."

She continued, "The plane shook a lot today too, and I ended up crying. I felt nauseous... I'm not as energetic as usual, but I'll do my best."

Kim Nam-joo's husband, Kim Seung-woo, was there to support her in spirit, watching her filming from afar. Kim Nam-joo noticed him at the rice cake shop before she arrived, saying, "My husband was already there eating. I thought I recognized that voice... He was there eating and even taking pictures."

Kim Nam-joo joked, "My husband is only making a voice cameo today," while Kim Seung-woo, disguised as a one-day staff member, took up the camera to film Kim Nam-joo, showing a playful side and checking on her condition during breaks.

The production team introduced Kim Seung-woo as 'the husband who was by Kim Nam-joo's side throughout the filming. Truly a reliable partner.'

The team-building event with Kim Nam-joo and her staff will be featured in episode 9 of 'Queen of Taste Kim Nam-joo,' airing on Thursday at 8:40 PM. Ahead of the broadcast, content of the same name was also released on Kim Nam-joo's YouTube channel at 11:45 AM the same day.
