[EPN NPinow reporter Go Nari] Nam Yujeong — a former Brave Girls member who has transitioned into acting — made a strong impression on viewers during her appearance on KBS2's Men Doing Housework Season 2.

On April 11, Nam appeared on the show, candidly sharing stories about her family and injecting fresh energy into the episode.

She joined the program not as a video panelist but as a featured cast member, openly discussing her everyday life. When Park Seojin joked that she should disclose both her family and any plastic surgery, Nam replied with a grin, "I can reveal everything except my underwear," heating up the set with her wit.

When Park raised the need for family and friends' consent, Nam responded coolly, "As long as the appearance fee is right, there's no problem," underscoring her bold, singular personality.

She introduced her older sister, a former announcer now living in Ho Chi Minh City, and quipped, "If I'm the tomboy, my sister's the model student." When Park teased that model students don't fit variety shows, Nam fired back immediately, showcasing her quick comedic instincts.

Nam also performed a clever variety-ready gag that day, prompting Park Seojin to praise her, saying, "She feels so natural."

Once nicknamed "Kkobukjwa" during her Brave Girls days, Nam displayed an easygoing, sincere charm in the episode. As she embarks on a new path as an actress, her unguarded off-camera moments and warm family chemistry have raised expectations for what she'll do next.

KBS2's Men Doing Housework airs every Saturday at 9:20 p.m. KST.
