Chef Park Eun-young (35) has revealed rumors about singer Kim Jong-kook (49).
On the October 2nd episode of KBS2's variety show 'Problem Child in House', known as 'Okmoonah', 'Goddess of Chinese Cuisine' Park Eun-young and 'Baby Beast' Chef Kim Si-hyun appeared as guests.
During the show, Park Eun-young shared, "I lived in Gunpo but attended school in Anyang." This prompted 'Anyang native' Kim Jong-kook to greet her warmly.
When asked if she had heard anything about Kim Jong-kook, who is 14 years her senior, Park Eun-young revealed, "He's really famous. There's a tonkatsu restaurant on Anyang's First Street. Rumor has it that he got into a big fight there and won 100 to 1."
As the 'Anyang Kim Axe' rumor resurfaced, Kim Jong-kook responded, "It's like a folktale. It's exaggerated." Kim Sook questioned, "Why would there be a fight in a tonkatsu restaurant? What did you fight with?" To which Kim Jong-kook repeatedly clarified, "No, that didn't happen."
