Actor Lee Seo-jin drew attention by showing his deep friendship and unique chemistry with Choi Hwa-jung.
On the 19th, the SBS variety show My Grumpy Secretary (hereinafter "My Grumpy Secretary") aired, featuring 'eternal wild rose girl' Choi Hwa-jung as the eleventh "my star(my star)." In that episode, Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu spent the day by Choi Hwa-jung's side, performing the role of managers.
The three visited Choi Hwa-jung's regular tteokbokki restaurant. That day Choi Hwa-jung said, "Compared to how much I eat, it's a toothpick. There was an in-flight meal in my car." Lee Seo-jin immediately recalled a past anecdote, saying, "If you look at her handbag it's like a full shopping bag. There was a triangle gimbap and an egg sandwich." The two's conversation showed the long-built intimacy between them.
Hearing this, Choi Hwa-jung praised Lee Seo-jin's memory, saying, "Seo-jin was born with a good memory. He would have done well even as a secretary. He would serve as a secretary to a conglomerate chairman and then have an arranged marriage with the chairman's daughter," drawing laughter.
That day Lee Seo-jin revealed he had visited Choi Hwa-jung's home several times in the past and that the two had traveled to Japan together, causing a stir at the scene. Hearing this, Kim Kwang-kyu could not hide his surprise, asking, "Really? So you two dated?"
When talk turned to marriage later, Choi Hwa-jung told Lee Seo-jin bluntly, "Did you think I'd be unmarried at this age? I have no intention of getting married." When Lee Seo-jin joked, "Is there anything to be taken care of if you meet now? A younger person wouldn't want to see you, senior," Choi Hwa-jung replied, "You can just show your bank account balance."
When wealth was even mentioned in this flirting, Lee Seo-jin joked, "I'm tempted too," and the scene erupted in laughter. Beyond simple jokes, it was a moment that highlighted the "adult chemistry" created by the two's composure and confidence.
After the broadcast, viewer response was also heated. Internet users responded, "Why is the chemistry between Lee Seo-jin and Choi Hwa-jung so natural," "I think I know why Lee Seo-jin isn't married," "Choi Hwa-jung's wealth flirting is so cool," "I'm really curious who Lee Seo-jin will marry," and "A relaxed conversation that only comes with this age group."
Meanwhile, Choi Hwa-jung was born in 1961 and is currently unmarried. In 2020 she moved to a luxury residential-and-commercial complex apartment in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong District, Seoul. The apartment where Choi Hwa-jung resides is reported to have traded for about 11 billion won for a 77-pyeong unit, drawing public attention.<
