Choi Jin-hyuk Reunites with 'Life's Lifesaver' Choi Soo-jong; Shares Kimchi-Making Journey with Park Kyung-lim

Actor Choi Jin-hyuk will reveal a heartwarming reunion with Choi Soo-jong, the benefactor who changed his life.

On the SBS entertainment program 'My Little Old Boy,' airing at 9 PM on the 9th, Choi Jin-hyuk is set to embark on a culinary endeavor with his close friend, Park Kyung-lim, to prepare a meal for his benefactor.

As Choi Jin-hyuk is not particularly skilled in cooking, Park Kyung-lim stepped in to help. The two decided to make kimchi together as a gift for the person who was instrumental in Choi Jin-hyuk's acting debut. Choi Jin-hyuk expressed his deep gratitude, stating, "Without this person, I would have never even debuted as an actor."

The identity of this life-changing benefactor was revealed to be none other than the 'King of Ratings,' actor Choi Soo-jong. The studio was taken aback when the special connection between a then-aspiring actor Choi Jin-hyuk, who was participating in an audition program about 20 years ago, and the top star Choi Soo-jong at the time, came to light.

Furthermore, it was revealed that their connection was facilitated through Park Kyung-lim. Choi Jin-hyuk's confession, "Even before I became an actor, I went to Choi Soo-jong's house late at night without notice," surprised everyone. As the story of 'that day' that both men remember was unveiled, MC Shin Dong-yup and Seo Jang-hoon exclaimed, "Jin-hyuk is amazing, but Choi Soo-jong, who accepted him, is truly incredible."

Meanwhile, Choi Soo-jong, known as the 'Housekeeping King,' garnered attention with his housekeeping tips. His knife skills, honed for his wife Ha Hee-ra, and his meticulously folded clothes even impressed the 'Queen of Housekeeping' Mother's Club. Later, Choi Soo-jong, the 'representative lovebug of the entertainment industry,' shared behind-the-scenes stories of how he cleverly arranged to work with Ha Hee-ra before their marriage, along with his doting father moments, reportedly filling the studio with laughter.

Korean netizens reacted with excitement, commenting, 'The connection between Choi Jin-hyuk and Choi Soo-jong is truly amazing,' 'Park Kyung-lim really played a great connecting role,' and 'You can feel Choi Soo-jong's character.' Many also expressed interest in Choi Soo-jong's housekeeping tips.
