Nam Bo Ra gets playful scolding from sister-in-law at Namdaemun Market

Actress Nam Bo Ra received a playful reprimand from her sister-in-law after being spotted at Namdaemun Market without her baby. When the sister-in-law, who assumed Nam Bo Ra was simply out grocery shopping, asked, “You left the baby behind to go out?”, Nam Bo Ra hurriedly explained, “I'm working,” sparking laughter.

On the 29th, the YouTube channel STUDIO OMG released footage of Nam Bo Ra visiting Namdaemun Market to browse for newlywed household items and baby supplies. While shopping at a tableware store, she encountered an unexpected person: her sister-in-law, a frequent visitor to the market. Nam Bo Ra expressed both joy and surprise, asking, “Unnie, why are you here?”

The sister-in-law casually replied, “I come here three times a week.” It was understandable why Nam Bo Ra was surprised. The two took a photo together to send to Nam Bo Ra's husband and naturally caught up on recent news. However, the conversation took an unexpected turn when the sister-in-law dropped a comment.

When Nam Bo Ra asked, “What time did you get here?”, the sister-in-law replied, “I've been here since this morning.” She then suddenly turned to Nam Bo Ra and asked, “You left the baby behind to go out?” In that moment, Nam Bo Ra repeatedly emphasized, as if feeling wronged, “I'm working. I'm working, Unnie. I didn't just leave the house.” Her defensive explanation, reminiscent of a newlywed seeking permission to leave the house, provided a comedic moment.

In reality, Nam Bo Ra had a valid reason for her visit. The trip to Namdaemun Market was not for personal shopping, but was a scheduled shoot for YouTube. The itinerary included browsing dishes for the new household and looking at clothes for her baby, Little Bean. However, before she could explain that the cameras were rolling, she was met with the blunt question: “You left the baby behind?”

After getting married last year, Nam Bo Ra started a new chapter of life with the recent birth of her first child. Having previously gained attention as the eldest daughter of a large family who took great care of her younger siblings, her life as a mother is now a point of interest for many. This instance of stepping out briefly without the baby became an unexpected comedic highlight, clashing with the realistic nagging typical of family members.

Ultimately, the scene highlighted the close, comfortable relationship between the two. The remark “You left the baby behind to go out?” felt more like a lighthearted joke exchanged between family members than a true reprimand. Nam Bo Ra burst into laughter while acting defensive. For a mother out to work, the first thing she received wasn't a shopping tip, but a realistic piece of family advice: “Why did you come out leaving the baby behind?”
