'Jeoncham' makes history with the longest run! Ji Hyun-woo and CEO Kim Byung-sung, who boast a 22-year relationship, reveal a tearful friendship.
On the episode of the MBC variety show Omniscient Interfering View airing Saturday the 8th at 11:10 p.m. (planned by Kang Young-sun / directed by Kim Yoon-jip, Jeon Jae-wook, Kim Hae-ni, Jeong Dong-sik, Lee Da-un / writer Yeo Hyun-jeon / hereinafter 'Jeoncham') in episode 372, 'the gentleman icon' Ji Hyun-woo returns to Jeoncham after five years.
In this broadcast, Ji Hyun-woo's unique 'seonbi-style' morning routine and his upgraded new house are revealed for the first time. Unlike five years ago when he slept on a mat on the floor, Ji Hyun-woo's moved-into home features new items such as a bed and a beam projector that catch the eye. Moreover, the scene of Ji Hyun-woo, a 'no-materialism person' who used a 3G phone in the 21st century, watching YouTube on a 'smartphone' was captured and stirred everyone.
Meanwhile, traces of 'practice' were still found throughout the house, drawing laughter. In the morning sunlight, Ji Hyun-woo began a peaceful day by copying out the daily sayings calendar of Dasan Jeong Yak-yong. He noted, "For three years I've repeatedly written out Jeong Yak-yong's daily sayings calendar every day," revealing his special affection for copying. In addition, listening to morning affirmations while meditating or training body and mind with stretching, Ji Hyun-woo's 'seonbi life' is expected to fill the studio with calm and laughter.
Ji Hyun-woo's morning routine continues on the mountain. After moving to a mountainous area, he energizes his day with hiking and mountain exercise. He warmly greets fans he meets while hiking and looks fondly at passing children, drawing smiles from viewers with his human side.
At the same time, the deep bond with Kim Byung-sung, Ji Hyun-woo's long-time manager and current agency CEO, is highlighted. The two, who have been together since 2004 for a full 22 years, drew attention as the longest-standing relationship among all past Jeoncham participants. Kim Byung-sung, who recently established an agency, said, "I founded the company with the dream of nurturing actors like Ji Hyun-woo," expressing deep affection for Ji Hyun-woo.
That day, the two visited a longtime blood sausage soup restaurant with 40 years of history filled with memories, looking back on 22 years and having an honest conversation. From the moment they first met to the story of how Ji Hyun-woo personally persuaded Kim Byung-sung when he was about to quit, the unchanging trust and friendship between the two over time are expected to move viewers.
The touching, healing life of the gentleman icon Ji Hyun-woo, who returned to Jeoncham after five years, can be seen on the MBC variety show Omniscient Interfering View airing Saturday the 8th at 11:10 p.m.
