Kim Hyang-gi's mother causes tension during unexpected salon visit

A JTBC video shows Kim Hyang-gi's mother disrupting the reservation-only Salon De Nabi by arriving unannounced with anchovy and cucumber kimchi to visit her daughter.

The daily life faced by Kim Hyang-gi in the drama 'Salon De Nabi' is shaken by the unexpected appearance of a certain individual. A video released by JTBC depicts Kim Hyang-gi, who is working at a hair salon, being visited by her mother without prior notice.

"I never come empty-handed": An unexpected visit to the salon

While Kim Hyang-gi is busy attending to customers at the hair salon, her mother appears before her. Concerned that her daughter has lost weight, the mother focuses solely on her daughter's condition, even after Kim Hyang-gi explains that she could not answer the phone because she was working. Stating that she did not come empty-handed, the mother presents food she has prepared. Her actions of handing over anchovy and cucumber kimchi to be shared with those around her show a typical maternal side.

However, tension arises as the situation clashes with the salon's operation as a reservation-only establishment. While Kim Hyang-gi attempts to politely decline by mentioning the reservation system, the mother naturally takes a seat, stating she wants to check the skills of Seoul hairdressers. The mother's attitude—mentioning that perm prices in the countryside are around 25,000 to 30,000 won and insisting she must get her hair done since it is a place of business—creates a peculiar situation that conflicts with the order of the salon.

"Please take good care of my daughter": Between silliness and sincerity

The mother's visit creates a strange tension as it clashes with the salon's order. Due to the nature of a hair salon where staff must attend to customers, the sudden appearance of a visitor creates an embarrassing situation. In particular, the mother's behavior, which shows a lack of awareness regarding the rules of the space where Kim Hyang-gi works, adds to the entertainment of the drama.

Nevertheless, her sincerity toward her daughter is revealed when she greets the director, saying, "Please take good care of my daughter Gippeum-i." The mother's behavior, wanting to stay where her daughter is rather than considering her daughter's workplace environment, symbolically shows the complex relationships between characters depicted in the drama. In the video, Kim Hyang-gi continues her busy daily life while facing various situations at work, such as being mistaken for an intern trying to seduce customers or being told someone will contact her from the parking lot.
