SHIN JI reveals surprising cooking skills to husband

Singer SHIN JI revealed her unexpected cooking skills, which she had kept hidden, by cooking for her husband Moon Won for the first time since their marriage. The incident occurred when SHIN JI, who rarely cooks at home, decided to make *kimchi* pancakes on a rainy day, leading her husband to discover her hidden talents. "I lived well hiding it for 3 to 4 years, but I got caught because of YouTube," she joked, drawing laughter.

On the 26th, a video titled "SHIN JI cooks for her husband for the first time after marriage... What is his reaction?" was released on the YouTube channel 'How is it, SHIN JI?!?'. The video captures SHIN JI making *kimchi* pancakes at home on a rainy day, while her husband Moon Won and the production crew watch.

As it rained, SHIN JI naturally decided to make *kimchi* pancakes. When the production crew asked if she usually cooks, she retorted, "Why are you asking that when you already know I don't?", emphasizing that she does not typically cook.

"It's been more than three years since I last cooked," SHIN JI said. "Since I didn't cook when I met him, the only time I've cooked was for my parents." This explained that she had lived a life far removed from cooking even before her marriage.

However, the atmosphere changed once she actually started cooking. When a staff member marveled at her knife skills, saying, "You're surprisingly good with a knife," SHIN JI reacted defensively, countering, "Why do you think I can't do it? I know how to do it, I just don't."

Normally, Moon Won is the one in charge of cooking at SHIN JI's house. Moon Won remarked, "I usually do it, but today my wife said, 'It's raining, how about *kimchi* pancakes?'" He added, "When I asked if she knew how to do it, she said she did. I've never done something like this."

While roles had been naturally divided in the household since their marriage, SHIN JI took control of the kitchen on this day. After tasting the finished pancakes, Moon Won joked, "I should say I only want to eat pancakes from now on," acknowledging his wife's cooking skills.

SHIN JI explained that her culinary sense comes from her mother. She stated, "My mom is a great cook," and Moon Won added, "Your mother-in-law is a total chef." It appears she possessed basic cooking abilities naturally acquired through her family's food culture, but had not actively utilized them in her daily life.

After completing the *kimchi* pancakes, SHIN JI expressed her satisfaction, saying, "It was unexpectedly delicious, and seeing my husband and you all enjoying the food was even more fun."

However, the joy was short-lived, as SHIN JI remarked that this incident felt like her 'secret' had been exposed to her husband.

"As I was cooking, I think my husband realized, 'Oh? She actually knows how to do this?'" SHIN JI revealed. "So, I try to show him my cooking once in a while."

When the production crew remarked, "Today is the day your big secret was discovered," SHIN JI brought laughter by saying, "I actually feel like something went wrong right now. After eating everything, I feel like, 'Ah, something is wrong.' I lived well hiding it for about 3 to 4 years, but I got caught because of YouTube. But I was happy."

This cooking session seems to hold more meaning for SHIN JI than just a simple home-cooked meal. As a member of Koyote who has performed together for a long time and a solo singer who has shown a strong presence on stage, she is showing a different side by sharing her private daily life with her husband as content after her marriage.

SHIN JI married singer Moon Won on May 2. Although she is a figure familiar to the public through long-term broadcasting and musical activities, since her marriage, she has been showing a friendly side, different from her stage-centered image, by directly revealing the couple's daily life and episodes.

Ultimately, SHIN JI's strategy of naturally being the 'wife who cannot cook' crumbled in front of a single piece of *kimchi* pancake on a rainy day. However, just as she laughed and accepted that she "got caught because of YouTube," this 'secret reveal' became another pleasant episode showing SHIN JI's daily life after marriage.
