Actor Cho Jung-seok grants an appearance on the reality show "My Ugly Duckling (Miwoo-sae)" and recalled the farewell with his pet dog, expressing a heavy heart. Viewers were moved as his hidden pain behind his usually bright appearance surfaced.
On the 9th, on the SBS variety show "My Ugly Duckling," Cho Jung-seok shared that he recently released his first full-length album and made his official debut as a "new singer."
First, he said, "Since I was young, my dream was to dance and sing on stage," and added the exciting news, "A nationwide tour concert will begin Nov. 22."
He also revealed an anecdote about his wife, Gummy. He said with a laugh, "Once I went to a clothing store in Apgujeong with my wife, and when I came out wearing a nice jacket, she looked at me with a pitying expression," which drew laughter. In response, Seo Jang-hoon said, "Most wives don't like their husbands' clothes," expressing sympathy and prompting uproarious laughter.
But the broadcast mood soon became poignant. When Bae Jung-nam mentioned the farewell with his pet dog Bell, Cho Jung-seok quietly confessed, "I also sent my dog Raku over the rainbow bridge last year." He said, "I thought when you become an adult you'd be more okay with things like this (farewell), but that's not the case at all," and added, "I know that feeling very well," expressing deep sympathy for Bae Jung-nam's sorrow.
He also shared a warm episode from when they were expecting their second child. Cho Jung-seok said, "My wife asked, 'Have you ever seen a four-leaf clover in your life?' and that day, as if by a miracle, a four-leaf clover caught our eye," and added, "I got goosebumps and immediately laminated it, and the next day my wife found another four-leaf clover, and a few days later we found out we were expecting a child." He then smiled and said, "So the second child's nickname is 'Four-Leaf.'"
Netizens offered warm consolation and support, saying, "So there was such a sad story behind the laughter," "I felt my eyes well up when he talked about Raku," "I was comforted by the 'Four-Leaf' story," and "You can feel the family's love."
Meanwhile, Cho Jung-seok is continuing new challenges not only as an actor but also as a singer, showing sincere steps that cherish his family, music and memories.
