Model Youn-a hosts gimbap making home party with friends

Fashion model Youn-a gathered stylist Aya Kaneko and editor Yukako Sugiura for a home party to make gimbap using homemade bulgogi and sautéed kimchi. The group shared stories about parenting and daily life while enjoying the handmade meal.

Fashion model Youn-a has revealed a home party scene where she gathered with long-time acquaintances to cook food and chat. Based in Japan, Youn-a shared daily life moments on her YouTube channel, making gimbap alongside stylist Aya Kaneko and editor Yukako Sugiura.

Gimbap reflecting individual tastes, 'mother's taste' completed with bulgogi and kimchi

The menu for the gathering was decided to be gimbap. Youn-a prepared the ingredients by reflecting the requests of her friends. To make meat-filled gimbap following stylist Aya Kaneko's request, Youn-a made bulgogi herself starting from the morning. To harmonize the flavors, she also used "mother's kimchi" that she prepared, which was sautéed in sesame oil to be used as an ingredient.

Individual preferences were revealed during the gimbap-making process. Yukako Sugiura preferred tuna mayo, while Youn-a seasoned the rice with sesame oil, salt, and sesame seeds. In the video, Youn-a showed herself spreading the rice thinly rather than making the gimbap too thick so that it would be easy for children to eat.

"It feels like being in South Korea," the charm of handmade gimbap rolled by fingertips

The three began rolling the gimbap after placing their prepared ingredients on the seaweed. Youn-a showed herself spreading the rice thinly by moving her fingertips delicately, while her friends closely observed her hand movements and participated together. During the rolling process, they discussed the thickness and shape of the gimbap.

After completing the gimbap, a reaction of "It feels like being in South Korea" appeared in the video as they applied sesame oil at the end. The finished gimbap contained various fillings including bulgogi, kimchi, tuna mayo, and egg, with the flavor enhanced by adding sesame oil and sesame seeds at the end. The three enjoyed a pleasant meal time while sharing the gimbap they made themselves.

Comfortable conversations born from long-standing relationships, stories of parenting and daily life

Conversations were continuous during the food preparation and mealtime. As they have known each other for a long time, a session of sharing recent updates followed. In particular, Youn-a shared experiences related to parenting, such as situations where her children tell her everything that happened at school.

They also showed intimacy by mentioning each other's YouTube channels and fashion items. The video continued with conversations about their personalities and mentions of Yukako Sugiura's excellent speaking skills, providing time to confirm their deep bond.
