Hong Seok-cheon Locks Lips with 25-Years-Younger 'Chef Uhm Ji-hoon' in Viral Video, Exclaims 'Lost My Purity!'

Entertainer Hong Seok-cheon had a rather memorable encounter with a "handsome chef" 25 years his junior.

A video titled 'We've Finally Invited a Stunning Chef on Pepero Day' was released on the YouTube channel 'Hong Seok-cheon's Jewel Box' on the 11th. The chef in question turned out to be "Uhm Ji-hoon," the alter ego of comedian Uhm Ji-yoon, who captured Hong Seok-cheon's attention with his charm.

From his entrance, Uhm Ji-hoon spoke in a bold tone, asking Hong Seok-cheon to call him by his first name. Hong Seok-cheon playfully responded, eliciting laughter from the audience.

The highlight of the video was an accidental kiss during a game of Pepero. Hong Seok-cheon, flustered, exclaimed, "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey. I lost my purity after 54 years!" Uhm Ji-hoon, unfazed, cheekily added, "So, our last kiss was just now, right?" leaving everyone in stitches.

Following the broadcast, Hong Seok-cheon is expected to share his thoughts on the episode and interact with fans via his social media.

Netizens flooded the comments section with reactions like, "Hong Seok-cheon is so funnyㅋㅋㅋ", "The Uhm Ji-hoon character is so charming!", and "The chemistry between them is amazing, looking forward to the next episode." Many praised the perfect comedic timing between Hong Seok-cheon's witty remarks and Uhm Ji-hoon's bold persona.
