TV CHOSUN's 'Dad and I season 3' features 39-year veteran actress and '뮤지컬계 대모' Jeon Soo-kyung appearing as the representative of new daughters, revealing her daily life with a remarkably healthy 97-year-old father.
On the April 4 broadcast of TV CHOSUN's 'Dad and I season 3,' first-generation original musical star and 39-year veteran actress Jeon Soo-kyung, known for her eightfold charm, joins as the representative of new daughters. Jeon Soo-kyung's father was born in 1930 and experienced Korea's modern history itself — the Japanese colonial period, liberation, the Korean War and the Vietnam War — and is now 97 years old.
Waking alone in the morning, Jeon Soo-kyung's father naturally went into YouTube as if comfortable with a smartphone even at 97. He then started his day by finding and listening to trot songs himself. He also leisurely stretched his whole body and did morning exercise with transparent dumbbells. Im Hyung-joo was surprised, saying, "He's more flexible than me," and Subin marveled at Jeon Soo-kyung father's fitness, saying, "They should check his ID," raising doubts. Moreover, with eyesight that needs no magnifying glass and hearing that picks up even small sounds at once, everyone was astonished at health that is hard to believe for a 97-year-old. He even demonstrated a 'power mukbang,' devouring hard-shelled marinated crab, drawing attention to the secret of Jeon Soo-kyung father's health.
Meanwhile, Jeon Soo-kyung's father turned on a mysterious machine and then took out a ledger. Curiosity focused on whether this was the secret to his health. However, it turned out to be a karaoke machine and a list of favorite songs he had written himself. The father produced rich, seasoned melodies that showed depth. Basic stage manners aside, he had perfect pitch and rhythm and even showed lively dance moves, which excited the production team. Seeing the father sing without reading the lyrics, Subin said, "He must have memorized all the lyrics," expressing wonder. Han Hye-jin said, "Jeon Soo-kyung must take after her father," acknowledging the generational singing talent. Jun Hyun-moo then enthusiastically recommended, "Shouldn't he go on 'Mr. Trot' next time?"
Deciding to appear with her 97-year-old father, Jeon Soo-kyung said, "There is family history I really want to hear from my father. I could not bring myself to ask," and previewed that she will uncover the hidden family history through 'Dad and I.'
