During a recent taping of episode 13 of SBS Life’s variety series 'Queen of Taste' Kim Kim Nam-joo, Kim Nam-joo sized up guest Kim Kim Ok-vin and joked, “You look like someone who doesn’t eat much.” Kim Ok-vin shot back, “I actually eat a lot.”
Kim Nam-joo replied, “Same here―we eat plenty. We just clamp down when work calls,” before asking about Kim Ok-vin’s go-to diet plan. “If I skip meat, I get ravenous,” Kim Ok-vin said. “I rotate chicken, beef and pork and make sure to have one of them at least once a day. No heavy marinades―just olive oil and a pinch of salt. And when a craving hits, I’ll dip it in a store?bought low?cal sauce.” The two laughed that they “get anxious when the Sriracha runs out at home.”
“I’ve found my ally,” Kim Nam-joo cheered, adding with a grin, “Honestly, when it’s gown time, actresses will do anything―we’ll even spit.” Kim Ok-vin then confessed, “I once survived two weeks on just water and salt. I’m very all-or-nothing―I'll eat and have fun, but if an awards show suddenly pops up and I have to slip into a dress, there’s no other way. I’ve toughed it out on water and salt.”
Kim Nam-joo nodded in solidarity: “Same. And here I thought I was hardcore―you might have me beat,” she joked.
Beyond the diet talk, the episode sees Kim Nam-joo and Kim Ok-vin dive into everything from work to some decidedly R-rated, spicy banter, and even offers a peek inside Kim Nam-joo’s home, including her bedroom and bathroom. 'Queen of Taste' Kim Kim Nam-joo airs Thursday at 8:40 p.m., with a companion video dropping earlier that day at 11:45 a.m. on Kim Nam-joo’s YouTube channel.
