Actor Song Seung-hwan draws attention by revealing on MBN's Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night the story of how he missed out on South Korea's top stars Hyunbin and Park Jin-Young when they were rookies.
MBN's Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night is a new-concept issue-maker talk show that promotes "day and night, coolness and passion, information and emotion." As the episodes continue, Kim Ju-ha, Moon Seyoon and Jo Jazz's increasingly polished, comfortable hosting has been praised as the "return of the traditional talk show," reexamining guests' lives.
On the 10th episode to air, Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night episode 7 will feature leading actors of the play The Dresser, Song Seung-hwan and Oh Man-seok, who will talk about lives so busy that 24 hours are not enough.
In particular, Song Seung-hwan draws attention by saying that over a long time he has worked as an actor as well as a director and producer, maintaining ties with numerous stars. Moreover, he surprises listeners by saying he missed out even though South Korea's top stars Hyunbin and Park Jin-Young came to see him in person. Song Seung-hwan said that when Park Jin-Young came to him wanting to be a singer, he saw Park Jin-Young's dancing and thought he really danced well, but told him, "With that face, I don't think you can be a singer..." and sent Park Jin-Young back to study more while he was attending Yonsei University. He also said that when Hyunbin came to him as an aspiring actor, he sent him back saying, "At the time you had too little acting experience and looked too young, so go do more theater and come back," which prompted lamentation from the show's three hosts.
But Song Seung-hwan causes a twist by revealing that he directly discovered original 1990s youth star Kang Susie and 10-million-ticket actor Ryu Seung-ryong. He said that while studying abroad in New York to broaden his horizons at the height of his career, Kang Susie, whom he had met there, returned to Korea penniless and came to see him asking to debut as a singer, leading him to become a record producer for the first time in his life. Song Seung-hwan said that when the album "Violet Scent" by Kang Susie, which he produced, became a huge hit, he was able to move from monthly rent to a jeonse deposit, and he hinted that besides Kang Susie there were two other women who changed his life, increasing curiosity.
Song Seung-hwan also said he personally cast a 20-year-old Ryu Seung-ryong in Nanta and introduced him to the entertainment industry, saying, "Even with long hair and a beard he had charm!" and shared an anecdote about Ryu Seung-ryong's hidden talent that heightened interest.
Meanwhile, through Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night, Song Seung-hwan corrects a rumor about the Scholarship Quiz after 50 years. "I'm actually not the top scholar," he said, correcting the rumor that he was the Scholarship Quiz champion, and added, "In fact, due to point deductions I was fifth out of five," bringing warmth. In addition, actor and Korea National University of Arts (Korea National University of Arts) School of Drama professor Oh Man-seok, who is also a teacher at his alma mater, recounted how he became like an older brother in one minute when he met his first student, method actor Lee Sang Yi, after graduation, turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
