Actress Son Ye Jin recently appeared on the JTBC variety show 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,' where she revealed her refrigerator contents. During the show, a special honey gifted by her husband, Hyun Bin, garnered significant attention. The honey's reported price of 2.5 million won (approximately $1,800 USD) surprised many, especially as Son Ye Jin herself admitted she hadn't yet tasted it due to its preciousness.
The honey featured on the broadcast is believed to be 'OMA Nuka Premium Reserve Grand Cru' Manuka honey from New Zealand. This 250g product, priced at 2.5 million won, boasts exceptionally high ratings of UMF 32+ and MGO 1800+. Manuka honey's quality and active compound content are indicated by UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) and MGO (Methylglyoxal) indices, with higher numbers signifying premium status. This particular honey is noted for its rarity, representing only 0.003% of global Manuka honey production.
Bloggers found it amusing that Son Ye Jin, having secretly brought the honey out, coolly offered it to the chefs for tasting. The MCs and chefs who sampled it were impressed by its deep, elegant color and rich, smooth texture, remarking that its unique quality was evident from just one taste. The honey's high price is attributed to its luxurious packaging, extreme rarity, and superior health benefits, setting it apart from ordinary honey.
