In Channel A's 'Best Friends Tocumentary Table for 4' (hereinafter referred to as 'Table for 4'), which will be aired today (11th), Jung Young-joo, a musical actor with 30 years of experience who debuted in the 1994 musical 'I Will Be a Star', will appear.

On this day's broadcast, Young-Joo Jung reveals a house with props that reveal her tastes and a sensuous interior. The best friends invited here are Nam Gyeong-ju, the 'first generation musical actor' who debuted in 1982 and led the popularization of musicals, Choi Jeong-won, 'the best diva in Korean musicals', and Cha Ji-yeon, who boasts unrivaled charisma with her explosive singing ability and performance, and is the top musical star in Korea. They gather in one place.

They tell us about their recent work together in 'Come From Away', a musical set against the backdrop of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, mention their respective careers and representative works, and reveal related episodes. First, Young-joo Jeong chooses 'Empress Myeongseong', which was the first Asian musical to enter the U.S. Broadway in 1997, as her representative work and reveals the secret behind the casting, while Jeong-won Choi shares her thoughts on performing over 1,000 performances as Donna, the main character of 'Mamma Mia'. .

In addition, Jung Young-joo plans to reveal an anecdote about going to an audition for an actor school that Lim Sang-ah attended wearing aerobic clothes, as well as a past episode where he shaved his head for a musical and drew attention for his unconventional appearance.

Youngjoo Jeong mentions the serious car accident her 15-year-old son suffered and reminisces about the difficult times she endured as a mother, going back and forth between the musical practice room and the intensive care unit. He said, “It was an accident so serious that most of the lower pipe was damaged. I couldn't even get anesthesia and had 1,400 stitches, but I endured it well. “And yet he beatboxes,” he said, expressing his admiration for his son.

Cha Ji-yeon also made a surprising confession that she performed wearing compression stockings until she was seven months pregnant after hearing harsh words from the performance staff due to the fact that she was pregnant. She also tells an anecdote about how she endured the pregnancy by hiding it to avoid damage to the performance. Meanwhile, when symptoms of uterine contractions began to appear, she confessed how she felt at the time and had to secretly hold back tears behind the scenes, with tears in her eyes.

Next, the heartbreaking story of Jeong Young-joo, who suddenly suffered from ovarian cancer and had her uterus removed due to ovarian cancer and suffered early menopause, and suffered from severe depression due to being unable to go on stage due to a vocal cord rupture during a performance, is also revealed.

‘Best Friends Tocumentary Table for 4’ airs every Monday at 8:10 PM.
