Park Ji-hwan and Choi Gwi-hwa Charm Go So-young on 'Pubstaurant' with "Ajeossi" Appeal and Praises

Actors Park Ji-hwan and Choi Gwi-hwa brought laughter and delightful "ajeossi" charm to the third episode of KBS's YouTube content, 'Go So-young's Pubstaurant,' overwhelming host Go So-young with their talk.

'Pubstaurant,' marking Go So-young's return to MCing after 28 years, is a new YouTube series where she, as the 'manager,' invites celebrity guests she admires to cook for them and share candid conversations from a fan's perspective.

For the third episode, released on the KBS Entertain channel on the evening of the 22nd, the guests were the renowned actors Park Ji-hwan and Choi Gwi-hwa, stars of the upcoming Disney+ historical series 'Takkuryu,' set to premiere on the 26th. Before meeting them, Go So-young expressed her excitement, calling them 'cute younger siblings' and admitting her special fan affection for them.

Upon their arrival, Park Ji-hwan and Choi Gwi-hwa immediately charmed Go So-young, presenting her with a flower and humorously remarking, 'We prepared the flower incorrectly. It wilts in front of a senior like you.' They then vied to confess their long-standing admiration, calling her their 'desk-blotter noona' and praising her like a 'being just pulled from a clear lake' or 'beautiful as a wildflower,' leaving Go So-young delightfully flustered.

The actors also shared behind-the-scenes stories from the set of 'Takkuryu.' Park Ji-hwan praised fellow actor Rowoon, and Go So-young chimed in with her own positive impression of him. They recounted heartwarming anecdotes about each other witnessed during filming, hinting at the friendly atmosphere on the 'Takkuryu' set. Go So-young further surprised viewers by revealing a touching story about Choi Gwi-hwa's generosity in covering a drama staff member's surgery expenses.

To promote 'Takkuryu,' Park Ji-hwan and Choi Gwi-hwa took on their first-ever challenge, transforming the popular 'Soda Pop' dance challenge into their own 'Soju Pop' version, showcasing their unique "ajeossi" appeal. Park Ji-hwan's confident start, recalling his "idol days," and Choi Gwi-hwa's focused performance, complete with hip shakes holding soju glasses, had Go So-young erupting in laughter and exclaiming, 'So cute.'

The episode, filled with laughter and heartfelt moments between Go So-young and her 'cute' admirers Park Ji-hwan and Choi Gwi-hwa, aired on the KBS Entertain YouTube channel and KBS2.
