Actor Jo Jung-suk delighted fans with exciting news on the latest episode of SBS's variety show 'My Little Old Boy' aired on the 9th.
Jo, who recently announced his wife Gummy's second pregnancy, joined the show as a special MC. Reflecting on his past statement of not planning for a second child, he shared, "The second child was a blessing from above, but it was my wife who first reached out to me."
Jo recounted, "I was in Namhae filming 'Zombie Daughter' and was away from home. One day, my wife called and asked, 'Shall we have a second child?' I was so surprised that I jumped up from my seat."
Shin Dong-yup humorously asked if Jo rushed back to Seoul immediately, while Seo Jang-hoon joked if Gummy came down to him. Jo replied, "I wanted to, but I couldn't due to filming. I was so happy and felt great. We started preparing right away."
Jo admitted that he had secretly wished for a second child but refrained from discussing it, fearing the challenges of pregnancy and childbirth for Gummy.
He also shared a unique story during their preparation for the second child. "While my wife was on a walk, she asked if I had ever seen a four-leaf clover. I looked around and saw one. It was eerie. We laminated it at home. The next day, she found another one, and a few days later, we conceived. That's why our second child's nickname is 'Four-leaf,'" Jo revealed.
An affection test was conducted, asking Jo to name five of Gummy's strengths in five seconds. He promptly answered, "She's beautiful, sings well, kind, cooks well, and treats her husband well," impressing everyone. Seo Jang-hoon commented, "That's the right answer. The word 'beautiful' came out unconsciously. Gummy will be pleased," eliciting laughter.
When asked what he would do if Gummy turned into a zombie, Jo humorously replied, "I'd subdue her with force and lock her up. That's the only way. I'd try various training methods." Shin Dong-yup added, "I'd tell her to bite me quickly. I can't live alone with her locked up. I'd keep offering myself," showcasing his unique romantic side and causing laughter.
Jo, who debuted as a rookie singer with his first full album, shared, "It seems like a dream I've had since childhood. I wanted to be a singer who dances and sings on stage." He announced his upcoming concert starting November 22, promising not only singing and dancing but also other performances, raising anticipation.
Meanwhile, Jo Jung-suk and Gummy, who married in 2018, have one daughter and are expecting their second child.
