Actor So Ji-sub reflected on his past and reexamined his deep bond with close friends Song Seung-heon and Shin Dong-yup as he marked his 30th anniversary since his debut.
On the 9th, during the broadcast of tvN's 'Zzanbro,' So Ji-sub appeared as a guest, candidly sharing the history of 'misunderstandings' between Shin Dong-yup and Song Seung-heon, along with heartfelt episodes.
That day, Shin Dong-yup acknowledged, "In the past, I advised Song Seung-heon not to hang out with So Ji-sub," and honestly confessed, "At that time, when I first saw Ji-sub, he gave off a feel like an 'Orange' from Apgujeong, so I thought he was pretentious. I said not to hang out with someone like him." He continued, "The truth is that it was when So Ji-sub came to visit the set, and Song Seung-heon had already been determined to debut through an audition. It was my mistake to have such prejudice. I misunderstood because he looked like a rich young master."
But it turned out that So Ji-sub was someone who supported his single mother and grandmother while overcoming difficult circumstances to uplift his family. It was revealed that, on the contrary, Song Seung-heon came from a well-off family, providing a twist. Shin Dong-yup joked, "Looking back now, I should have told So Ji-sub not to hang out with Seung-heon," which elicited laughter. In response, So Ji-sub said, "At that time, I was struggling to survive in Incheon. I didn't even have transportation costs, so I slept at my brother Seung-heon's house and ate his food," adding, "That's why he feels like a benefactor to me."
So Ji-sub also said, "Shin Dong-yup has always been someone who was doing well from the start. Back then, he really kept his distance from me," and added, "I was naive, but he saw me as a slacker. He didn't even let me join him for drinks at first," reminiscing about a bittersweet past. He further exposed about Song Seung-heon, saying, "He's not easy. He talks too much. His real name was 'Song Seung-bok.' Sorry, hyung," which made everyone laugh. Shin Dong-yup disclosed, "Seung-heon gives off a studious vibe, but his fashion back then was the worst. He wore socks with slippers, awkwardly trying to imitate a magazine."
In conclusion, Shin Dong-yup stated, "Since the 90s until now, the two of them look like real brothers," and So Ji-sub added, "Even now, I only follow two accounts on Instagram: the company and Song Seung-heon. That shows how precious he is to me. But he doesn't follow me back," leaving a loving roast.
