Musical actor Choi Jeong-won expressed special affection and heartfelt praise for junior Kim Ho-young.
On the 7th, a video titled 'Tonight's dinner is Suwon fried chicken! Eating chicken and chatting with close friend senior Choi Jeong-won' was released on the YouTube channel 'Too Much Kim Ho-young'.
That day the two recalled the first reading of the musical 'Lempicka', in which they are appearing together, and talked. Choi Jeong-won said, "I think Ho-young's role in this work is a life role," adding, "He sometimes grumbles, but to my eyes he looks happy. It's part of the process of growing."
He continued, "The eagerness to get ahead of others is also beautiful," and showed affection by saying, "People call him 'too much,' but that's because he loves more and gives more than others." He also praised him generously, saying, "He works much harder than others. He practices a lot to raise the quality of the performance. Thanks to Ho-young."
At his senior's sincere words, Kim Ho-young recalled the hard times. He admitted, "After 15 years as an actor, in my mid-30s I thought I wasn't in the position I wanted and wondered if I should do something else." He added, "At that time my senior told me, 'You are still too young. It's a great age when you can do anything,'" and said, "At first it didn't resonate, but I changed my mind to restart what I was doing from the beginning rather than start something new."
That change soon led to opportunities. Kim Ho-young confessed, "After I changed my mind, amazingly I even appeared on 'King of Mask Singer' and 'Radio Star'," adding, "I realized that bad things don't just end as bad things."
Hearing this, Choi Jeong-won said, "For 15 years Ho-young has built something special of his own. His eyes still shine now," and smiled, saying, "He's done better than I thought." He added, "I'm so proud of how he brings happiness to people," and elicited laughter by calling him "Korea's living Jesus, a happiness evangelist."
He then conveyed his sincerity, saying, "I'm happy to know I was an influential person to Ho-young. I really enjoyed appearing alone today," which added warmth.
