On the December 30 broadcast, actress Kim Sung-ryung gathered with Ha Ji-won, Jang Young-ran, and Gabi at a floating “Dopamine House” set atop the Han River, where the cast enjoyed a panoramic 360-degree river view while sharing drinks and personal conversations.
During the episode, youngest member Gabi prepared a non-alcoholic pomegranate cocktail, dubbed “Pomegranate Sparkling,” for the group. As they raised their glasses, Kim Sung-ryung known for her outspoken personality proposed a toast inspired by the fruit’s health benefits, cheerfully declaring, “For female hormones!” instantly turning the atmosphere lively.
Ha Ji-won jokingly suggested making the toast more refined by saying “estrogen” instead, prompting Kim Sung-ryung to respond playfully, “For all the estrogen girls!” and earning more laughter.
As the conversation shifted toward hormonal changes and emotional fluctuations, Ha Ji-won admitted, “I’m at an age where hormones really matter. My mood changes depending on them.” Gabi echoed the sentiment, saying, “We’re slaves to hormones they’re so important,” even confessing that she sometimes bursts into tears unexpectedly.
At that moment, Jang Young-ran chimed in, asking, “Before your period?” only for Kim Sung-ryung to drop a surprise bombshell by bluntly stating, “I’m done with my period.”
The unexpected confession left the younger cast members visibly flustered, quickly prompting an impromptu toast to change the subject. Jang Young-ran jokingly pleaded, “Please let Sung-ryung unnie get her period again!” sending everyone into hysterics.
Laughing at the reaction she caused, Kim Sung-ryung replied with quick wit, “That would be a disaster at my age,” displaying the relaxed confidence and humor of a seasoned veteran.
Kim Sung-ryung’s unapologetic honesty once again highlighted her refreshing presence on variety shows breaking taboos around aging and menopause while turning candid reality into comedy.
