MMA Fighter-Turned-Entertainer Choo Sung-hoon Shares Heartwarming Memorial Photo Shoot with Beloved Dog


Former MMA fighter and current entertainer Choo Sung-hoon has captured attention by sharing a behind-the-scenes look at a memorial photo shoot.

On the 5th, Choo's YouTube channel, 'Choo Sung-hoon,' released a video titled 'Stealing Snacks from Kyoro and Taking Memorial Photos.' In the video, Choo spends quality time with his pet dog, Kyoro.

In celebration of Kyoro's 15th birthday, Choo prepared a special meal. Dressed as a chef, he mashed boiled carrots, jokingly saying, "We could eat this too. It looks delicious." The production team humorously responded, "Why do you keep eyeing Kyoro's food?" bringing laughter to the scene.

A particularly touching moment was when Choo visited a studio to take memorial photos with his dog. He shared, "I'm getting older, and I think Kyoro has about 2-3 years left. I thought it would be nice to have a photo together at the end."

Standing in front of the camera with Kyoro in his arms, Choo expressed his affection by nuzzling his face against the dog. When it was time for his solo shot, he said, "I want to look like I'm saying 'Welcome to my funeral,'" and pulled a comically exaggerated face, filling the studio with laughter.

Choo Sung-hoon, who won a gold medal at the 2001 Asian Judo Championships as a member of the South Korean national team, married Japanese model Shiho Yano in 2009 and welcomed a daughter in 2011. He gained fame through the KBS variety show 'The Return of Superman' and continues to engage with fans through various entertainment programs and his YouTube channel.
