Dressed in formal attire, Kim Soo Hyun performed the song \"Dreaming,\" originally composed for the Korean drama *Dream High*.\n\nKim Soo Hyun also served as a food expert during the appearance, recommending broth-based Korean dishes suitable for wedding receptions. The expert highlighted Galbitang, a dish made with beef short ribs in broth, and Janchi-guksu, warm wheat noodles in an anchovy-based broth.\n\nThe performance and recommendation of traditional Korean cuisine come as Kim Soo Hyun returns to the entertainment industry following a 2025 controversy surrounding his alleged relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron, who was a minor at the time. However, the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul closed its investigation into the allegations in July 2026.",
