Musical actor Kim Ho-young revealed an episode in which he cried over actor Choi Jeong-won's warm consolation during a time he struggled with burnout.
On the 7th, a video titled 'Tonight's dinner is Suwon fried chicken! Close friend senior Choi Jeong-won and a chicken-eating chat' was released on the YouTube channel 'Too Much Kim Ho-young.'
That day Kim Ho-young expressed his respect toward Choi Jeong-won, calling him a "senior I really wanted to have with me" and saying, "I've never seen him look tired even once."
He continued, "I also have a lot of energy, but I'm human, so if I'm tired I say I'm tired. People around me say it's no ordinary thing, but the senior doesn't even say that," and admired, "He's such an energetic person that you wonder if there is such stamina in the world."
In response, Choi Jeong-won laughed and replied, "I'm not tired," and even the production staff marveled, "We also reflect on ourselves."
Kim Ho-young said that he recently met Choi Jeong-won again after 10 years through the same musical and recalled the difficult time. He confessed, "There was a time when I first felt burnout. I was so exhausted that I called my senior and while talking I burst into tears." He added, "I'm the type who makes others cry rather than crying myself, but that day tears came out."
At the time he was troubled because long lines of dialogue wouldn't stick in his mouth. Kim Ho-young said, "I told him the lines wouldn't stick because they're words I don't usually use, and the senior said, 'That's why it's even cooler. It's natural that it's difficult because they're words you don't usually use.'" He continued, "Hearing that one remark made me think, 'So that's why it's difficult,'" and expressed gratitude, "The senior instantly changes a person's thinking. He is someone who quickly shifts you to a positive mindset."
Choi Jeong-won's warm consolation became a great support for Kim Ho-young, who was exhausted from burnout, and the sincere advice has remained a deep resonance to this day.
