Kang Ha-neul Reveals His Father Has Closed His Noodle Shop

Actor Kang Ha-neul has revealed that his father has closed his noodle shop.

On the October 15th episode of MBC's variety show 'Radio Star,' which featured a 'Box Office Lupin' special, actors Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, Kang Young-seok, and Kang Ji-young appeared as guests.

During his fourth appearance on 'Radio Star,' Kang Ha-neul shared, "Ever since 'Radio Star' gave me the nickname 'Good Deed Dispenser,' I've heard it everywhere I go." When Kim Gura asked, "Is your father still running the noodle shop?" Kang Ha-neul replied, "He isn't doing it anymore."

When it was suggested that Kang Ha-neul's success might have led to the closure, he explained, "My father took a week off to relocate the shop, but he enjoyed the break so much that he decided not to continue." However, Kim Gura commented, "It's because you're financially stable."

Kang Ha-neul also mentioned that he doesn't use his phone at home, saying, "With OTT platforms, I watch movies, dramas, and documentaries on TV. I don't do much else. There was even a time during a week-long trip when I spent two days just in the hotel."

He continued, "When I was younger, I would go anywhere if someone asked me to. But I realized I wasn't happy. I decided I needed to express my own opinions honestly. So, if I'm tired, I don't even go to gatherings."

The hosts teased him, saying, "You've grown up now," eliciting laughter.
