'Dad and me' actress Jeon Soo-kyung's father revealed the secret to being healthy even at 97.
On the 4th broadcast of TV CHOSUN variety show 'Dad and me', Jeon Soo-kyung and her daughter's quarrelsome daily life were revealed for the first time, and the father revealed his health secrets.
On that day Jeon Soo-kyung said regarding the filming of 'Dad and me' and the family's reaction, "When I said the twins were offered the chance to see their grandfather on TV, they said they wanted to show people that people in their 90s can live healthily."
Born in the 1930s and now 97 years old, Jeon Soo-kyung's father was a living witness to modern Korean history: he experienced the Japanese colonial period, liberation, and participated in the Korean War, during which he was captured and taken to North Korea before returning to the South, and he even experienced deployment to the Vietnam War. And now, having lived into the smartphone era, he is reportedly spry enough to watch YouTube.
When Jeon Soo-kyung's father appeared, Han Hye-jin exclaimed, "Is he really 97? He really looks young," and Jun Hyun-moo also marveled, "He really is spry." In response, Jeon Soo-kyung's father modestly said, "People say I'm spry, but I don't think I have grounds to boast like that yet."
Even at 97, Jeon Soo-kyung's father used his smartphone as soon as he got up in the morning, listened to music on YouTube, danced and showed off his lively spirit. Noting his exceptional sense of rhythm, Han Hye-jin said, "He has a lot of spirit. Jeon Soo-kyung looks like her father."
After enjoying music, Jeon Soo-kyung's father leisurely came out to the living room. At that moment Han Hye-jin was surprised and said, "His posture is really good. His back isn't hunched." Then the father showed off unusual flexibility through stretching, and So-bin remarked, "Shouldn't we check his ID card?" in suspicion, drawing attention.
Jeon Soo-kyung's father lightened his back with morning stretches and even did hip-opening exercises. About this, he revealed his health secret, saying, "It's just stretching once. I can't lift dumbbells now. Because of my age I mimic lifting dumbbells with empty hands a few times. Even doing just that loosens the body. My energy rises, so I live without being bound by age."
The father also played go-stop by himself, a game said to be good for preventing dementia. Jeon Soo-kyung said, "My father likes go-stop, so he doesn't have dementia and rarely forgets things. Constantly moving his hands and using his head might be one of the things that keep him young." Im Hyung-joo said, "Pianists don't get dementia," and Jun Hyun-moo looked on with interest, saying, "Maybe we should play this (go-stop)."
Meanwhile, Jeon Soo-kyung's father visited a barbecue restaurant with his daughter and looked over the menu. Despite his advanced age, he was seen reading every small letter, and he surprised people by saying, "They said my vision is 0.6, so it's not bad."
Additionally, Jeon Soo-kyung's father proudly showed off his strong teeth by easily chewing even hard marinated crab. About this he said, "There are fakes. The fakes do the job: my daughter paid for my lower ones as implants and my upper teeth were done at the veterans hospital. I got dentures with several tens of percent off. People tell me to get them redone, but there's not much time left, so I'll just leave them as is."
The secret to the father's longevity included longevity DNA from his wife, Jeon Soo-kyung's maternal grandmother. The father said, "My mother died at 98. She lived that long," and Jeon Soo-kyung added, "My grandmother spent a long time with a bent back. But my father's back is straight."
Im Hyung-joo joked, "Jeon Soo-kyung senior will easily live to 120."
