Actor Cha In-pyo boasted a loving moment towards his wife Shin Ae-ra.
Cha In-pyo appeared as a guest on KBS2's 'Problem Son of the Rooftop', which aired on the 4th.
On this day's broadcast, Song Eun-i introduced, "Today, I heard that an icon of challenge that fits the new year is coming. An icon of passion." The person who appeared with a knock on the door was none other than Cha In-pyo. Kim Sook welcomed him, saying, “Passionate Mansour.”
Jung Hyung-don said, "I've been broadcasting with (Shin) Ae-ra for three and a half years. Maybe it's because I listen to my older brother's stories every week, so it's not unfamiliar to me." Kim Jong-kook asked, “Is there a twist?” Jung Hyung-don made people laugh when he answered, “Real passion. A style that makes people have a hard time.” Cha In-pyo explained, "That's absolutely not the case. Rather, Hyung-don only heard one side of the story." Jeong Hyeong-don said, “What Ae-ra said is true.” Cha In-pyo then said, “I feel like I was gaslighted by my wife,” making the audience burst into laughter.
Song Eun-i said, "It's the ultimate self-management. It's exactly the same as what we saw when we debuted." Cha In-pyo said, "I'm trying to maintain it. It's not the end, but I'm entering my late 50s and I want to be a role model who takes care of myself in my 50s, so I'm working hard." Cha In-pyo debuted in 1993 in the MBC drama ‘Three Families under One Roof’. He said that there is only a 4 to 5 kg difference in weight between when he debuted and now. Kim Sook was surprised and asked, “(Kim) Yongman is the same age as your brother?” Jeong Hyeong-don added his strength, saying, “It’s ridiculous.” Then Cha In-pyo said, “Yong-man and I are friends.”
Cha In-pyo said, “I sometimes write, but I wake up at 4:45.” He added, “I wake up at 4:45, do everything and exercise in the morning.” Jung Hyung-don, who heard this, said, “So, how difficult it must be for Ae-ra.” Cha In-pyo explained, “At times like that, I say hello to my family at 9:30 and go to bed.”
Song Eun-i said, “There is a famous saying among athletes: ‘When I lifted dumbbells, Kim Jong-kook lifted a baby bottle.’” Kim Jong-kook agreed, “That’s right.” It was 1986 when Cha In-pyo started his movement. Cha In-pyo said, “I went to Dongdaemun Sports Center and bought it and then went home and did it.” Although he has never exercised with Kim Jong-kook, he has watched his YouTube videos. Cha In-pyo said, "Sometimes when I don't want to go to the gym or exercise, I turn on (Kim Jong-kook's YouTube) and watch it. I exercise while watching him exercise."
Cha In-pyo said his goal for this year is to make many friends. He said, "I don't have that many friends. I like friends my age, but I also want to meet friends from other generations." Kim Jong-kook said, “Once you appear on my YouTube channel, you will be my friend.” Cha In-pyo laughed and said, “I think we can be friends even with people 30 years younger than me.”
He made everyone laugh by saying, "I think it would be good to be friends with Hyung-don. I heard a lot from my wife. He also said that Hyung-don doesn't have many friends." Jeong Hyeong-don explained, "Ae-ra noona added her words. There isn't much. It's just that there aren't any." Cha In-pyo was surprised when he said, "I want to make friends with young friends, walk together like Pungnaptoseong Fortress, take pictures, and go hiking at a place like Gongju Mountain Fortress."
Cha In-pyo mentioned the signature finger wave he showed in the drama 'Love in Your Arms'. He said, "I had no idea. The drama ended, but Shin Dong-yup appeared on an entertainment program and parodied it wearing a leather jacket. It became a hot topic thanks to Shin Dong-yeop. It's true that I did it with my fingers, but I didn't know it would be popular, so I didn't know if it would be popular. After the drama, Shin Dong-yup said, “I continued by reenacting it. Actually, this is not mine, it’s Shin Dong-yup’s,” he explained.
Cha In-pyo also mentioned Shin Ae-ra. Cha In-pyo said, "We fought when we were newlyweds. Now we're scolded. We didn't get along when we were newlyweds. We fought over small things. When I think about it later, the years I've lived prove it. I lived well so far." Cha In-pyo tells Shin Ae-ra that he loves her five times a day. Regarding this, he said, "I say I love you, but I often tell my wife she's pretty. I tell my wife she's pretty when I wake up in the morning. How difficult would my day be if my husband, who I always sleep with, sees and just passes by?"
Not only that, “I have to go out into the world and work. How tired would it be if I came home after going through a storm outside the world and my husband said, ‘Are you here, my pretty wife?’ I am grateful to my wife for almost 30 years when I wake up in the morning. “He smiles brightly when he sees me. The first time I see him, whether it’s early in the morning, he smiles and says, ‘Did you sleep well?’ I am so happy and grateful to start my day with that,” he said, laughing.
