Kim Young Ok - Why Did You Come To My House?

In "Why Did You Come To My House?" (우리 집에 왜 왔니), cast members Super Junior's Kim Heechul (김희철), chef Austin Kang (오스틴 강), model Han Hyejin (한혜진) and comedian Yoo Minsang (유민상) visits the home of veteran, award-winning actress Kim Young Ok (김영옥) who debuted in 1957. She is known as "Korea's Grandma" for her many portrayals of grandmothers in film and television, of which her first grandmother role was in her twenties due to the lack of elderly actresses at the time. Despite her elderly onstage persona, Kim Young Ok remains young at heart as the cast members learn that she enjoys hip hop and rap music as well as mobile gaming and keeps up to date with the latest youth lingo which often includes expletives. Her refined appreciation for beauty is evident in her various collection of vintage clocks, porcelain figurines, tableware and the floral pattern accents around her home radiates a serene and gently feminine feel.
