Actor Jung Kyung-ho appeared on the tvN variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' and shared candid stories.

During the broadcast on the 3rd, Jung Kyung-ho appeared as a guest, spending a fun time with hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho. He humorously mentioned his friend Jo Se-ho, introducing him as a 'bathhouse and supermarket friend.'

Reflecting on his acting career spanning 22 years, Jung Kyung-ho stated, "I've unintentionally played roles that were prickly, sensitive, or involved patients." He revealed his meticulous preparation process, saying, "When I act, I write notes for the script, tear them out, and keep them in my pants pocket. I feel anxious without them." He also shared that artificial tears are a necessity, cautiously disclosing his sensitive aspects.

He then surprised everyone by sharing, "One day, I couldn't see the script properly. So, I've started taking care of my health. I'm on my 52nd day of abstaining from alcohol." His revelation about starting to experience presbyopia and prioritizing his health garnered significant attention from viewers.

Netizens reacted positively to Jung Kyung-ho's confession about quitting alcohol, with comments like "Health is the most important thing!", "Cheering for actor Jung Kyung-ho", and "52 days of no drinking is amazing, hope you become even healthier."
