Actor Hong Jong-hyun made a special appearance as a guest MC on the October 22nd episode of the popular SBS variety show 'My Little Old Boy'.
During the show, Hong Jong-hyun reminisced about his past encounter with Seo Jang-hoon, saying, "We once lived in the same apartment complex for a short time. I was startled when I saw a huge person in the elevator, but he seemed even more surprised than I was."
Seo Jang-hoon responded, "If I was surprised, it was probably because I thought no one was there, but then someone appeared. Even if I didn't recognize you, I would have greeted you." Hong Jong-hyun added, "He greeted me and even apologized. He was really startled."
Shin Dong-yup humorously suggested, "Jong-hyun is embellishing the story. There must have been a woman next to Seo Jang-hoon," bringing laughter to the set.
Hong Jong-hyun also shared a shocking experience from his early career involving Shin Dong-yup. He recalled filming a sitcom with Shin, saying, "There was a scene at a street stall where I was supposed to learn about soju. Usually, they use water, but it was real soju. From the look in Dong-yup's eyes, I could tell he had been drinking."
Shin Dong-yup, who admitted to drinking during the drama shoot, defended himself by saying, "I dislike fake acting." Despite being taken aback, Hong Jong-hyun joked, "It was surprising, but I think it helped me act better."
Hong Jong-hyun confessed to having a 'peculiar obsession' with wearing socks. He stated, "I don't mind if others are comfortable, but I feel uneasy not wearing socks with sandals."
He further explained, "I find it difficult when plans go awry. I try to be meticulous with my schedule, but when things don't go as planned, it stresses me out."
Seo Jang-hoon posed a hypothetical question: "If you had to choose between a perfect partner who never wears socks or someone who changes your travel plans at the last minute, who would you marry?" After some thought, Hong Jong-hyun chose "the one who wears socks," drawing attention.
