Actor Kim Yong-gun showcased his unfiltered sense of entertainment.
In the 25th episode of 'Jun Hyun-moo's Plan 2' (co-produced by MBN and Channel S) aired on the 11th, Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) met 'national actor' Kim Yong-gun in Jeonju to enjoy a delightful food trip featuring 'MZ soul food' and 'country-style dining.'
On this day, Kwak Tube said, "There is famous MZ soul food in Jeonju," signaling the start of 'Kwak Tube's Plan.' Upon hearing this, Jun Hyun-moo expressed his concerns, saying, "Today, we have the eldest guest ever among our 'eating friends,' but are we really going to treat them to MZ food?" The guest who later appeared was the patriarch of the entertainment industry, Kim Yong-gun.
Afterward, the three discussed one of Jeonju's specialties, a 47-year-old 'spicy noodle' restaurant, while also mentioning Kim Yong-gun's son, actor Ha Jung-woo. Jun Hyun-moo noted, "(Ha Jung-woo) said he doesn't even want to imagine acting in front of his father. He must be embarrassed," to which Kim Yong-gun recalled, "Even in the past, when advertising opportunities came up, I wanted to do them, but my son said he wouldn't."
Jun Hyun-moo then asked, "Why doesn't Ha Jung-woo cast his father in his works? I asked him, 'Do you not like your father's acting?'" He continued, "However, he respects me a lot because he's seen me since he was little, but he said he can't do it, saying it would be awkward to be together." Kwak Tube then asked Kim Yong-gun, "Do you have any thoughts about future roles, perhaps as a father and son?" but Kim Yong-gun responded, "I don't. I know Ha Jung-woo feels uncomfortable about it," showing his consideration.
Talk of Kim Yong-gun's daughter-in-law, actress Hwang Bo-ra, also followed. Kwak Tube inquired, "Isn't your daughter-in-law well-known too? I've heard she is friendly like your daughter," and asked, "Do you meet often?" Kim Yong-gun replied, "We meet often, especially since there are grandchildren involved," revealing their closeness.
In particular, Kim Yong-gun remarked, "It's a bit ironic, I also have a little one. I have a son who is like a grandson," which left Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube taken aback. Observing their reaction, Kim Yong-gun quipped, "Why are you guys like this? Suddenly feeling touched? I just thought it might pique your curiosity, so I'll stop here," leading Jun Hyun-moo to respond, "Well, since we're on the topic..." which drew laughter.
Jun Hyun-moo said, "If you like babies, I'd like to give you a gift," to which Kim Yong-gun joked, "I'll give you my bank account number later," and he added to Kwak Tube, "You should also chip in on this," eliciting more laughter.
After finishing their spicy noodle eating session, the three moved on to have a full meal of rice. During their transition, when Jun Hyun-moo asked, 'Who is the best acting junior?' Kim Yong-gun replied, "I like Lee Byung-hun. He has great eyes. I also told (my son) Ha Jung-woo this. His voice is great, and so is his gaze." He further candidly reviewed his son's acting, stating, "There's always a slight feeling of unease, even in the movie 'The War Against Crime.'"
He continued, "In 'The War Against Crime,' Jo Jin-woong's dialect is clear. But Ha Jung-woo seemed awkward. That's how I see it. Maybe because he's my child, I'm not very lenient in my judgment." However, he noted, "Still, what has changed is that since the movie '1947 Boston,' he has started to improve a bit. It seems he is maturing with his age," which made Jun Hyun-moo laugh as he commented, "So, from a father's perspective, after two years of acting, huh?"
