Sung Hoon Dominates Remote Island on 'Welcome to Paradise,' Showcasing 'Treasure Diver' Skills and Versatility

Actor Sung Hoon has once again captivated viewers with his multifaceted talents on MBC's 'Welcome to Paradise.'

In the 65th episode aired on the 15th, Sung Hoon joined Kang Ji-hwan, Park Joon-hyung, and Yang Chi-seung on a quest for food supplies to entertain guests on a deserted island. He showcased his impressive lung capacity by diving for nearly 40 minutes, effortlessly collecting abalone, turban shells, and rock oysters with just his hands, proving himself a 'specialty treasure diver.' His tenacity and competitive spirit were further highlighted as he battled a tough octopus in the deep sea, ultimately triumphing.

His contributions extended to fishing operations. After deploying a 150-meter net, Sung Hoon used a long pole to herd fish towards it, drawing upon the strength he used to pull the boat single-handedly. Getting drenched by splashes, he humorously remarked, "Wouldn't it be better if I just went into the water then?" He skillfully wielded heavy poles in both hands, herding the fish and demonstrating his efficiency as a capable worker.

The atmosphere on board quickly became electric as the catch began. The net was filled with seasonal autumn gizzard shad, bringing cheers from everyone on the boat. Sung Hoon indulged in raw and grilled gizzard shad, activating his 'eating god' persona and making viewers' mouths water. His reactions were equally enthusiastic when he tasted Chef Raymond Kim's aged kimchi gizzard shad California rolls, further igniting the excitement.

In the kitchen, Sung Hoon remained active. He meticulously prepared tomatoes and asked detailed questions to ensure the perfection of the baked ragu pasta, revealing his professional work ethic. He concluded the meal with a satisfying 'mukbang' of the ragu pasta, maintaining a cheerful ambiance throughout.

With his boundless stamina and witty actions, Sung Hoon took command of the remote island, exuding a remarkable presence. His passionate engagement in every moment brought immense joy to the audience.

Sung Hoon debuted in 2009 with the drama '90 Days, Time to Love' and gained significant recognition in 2011 with 'New Tales of Gisaeng.' Leveraging his background as a former swimmer, he has displayed diverse charms in both dramas and variety shows. His unexpectedly relatable daily life, showcased on 'I Live Alone,' has earned him widespread affection from viewers.
