'You Quiz' Cho Woo-jin said he did not open up about his acting profession to his 9-year-old daughter.
On the afternoon of the 17th, on the tvN variety show 'You Quiz on the Block,' actor Cho Woo-jin appeared and shared various stories from his unknown days to his rise as a leading actor.
Cho Sae-ho asked, "After a long period of obscurity, you did well, so your family must be very happy. I think your daughter will say 'our dad is Cho Woo-jin,'" and Cho Woo-jin said, "My daughter actually doesn't know that my job is an actor. She is 9 years old and doesn't watch TV much at home. I feel she needs to form her own identity before she can fully accept her father's profession. Even outside, in her young mind, she could boast that 'my dad appears on TV,' so I'm even more cautious about it," he said.
Yoo Jae-seok and Cho Sae-ho guessed, "If you walk around with your dad, people might whisper. At 9, she can easily find out through friends," and Cho Woo-jin said, "That's why I hide a lot. I went to pick her up at dismissal time wearing sweatpants, a mask, and sunglasses, covering my face as much as possible. Then the teacher became even more curious. Even though I was right there, she openly asked, 'Dad, why did you come so covered? What does your dad do? Dad doesn't have a big belly,' she said. After that, I never went again," he confessed, drawing laughter.
Cho Sae-ho laughed, "Your daughter might pretend not to know because her father is a serious actor," and Yoo Jae-seok laughed, "At 9, I think this is appropriate." Cho Woo-jin said, "I plan to tell her around next year," and Yoo Jae-seok said, "By the time this episode airs, she will probably already know. Just watch 'You Quiz.' Everyone in the house might know except for Mr. Cho Woo-jin," he said, drawing laughter.
Cho Woo-jin said, "When I mentioned this recently, singer Yoon Jong-shin and director Jang Hang-jun said the same thing. When I asked when I should tell my daughter, and I said 'around next year,' they said my daughter would already know," he said with a laugh.
