Actor Son Suk Ku surprised fans by sharing some unexpected facts about his daily life.

On the February 9 episode of JTBC’s Please Take Care of My Refrigerator Since 2014, Son Suk Ku appeared alongside fellow actor Hyun Bong Sok, chatting with hosts Kim Sung Joo, Ahn Jung-hwan, and chefs Lee Yeon Bok, Kim Poong, and Choi Kang Rok.

During the show, Son Suk Ku opened up about his extreme introversion, revealing, "When I eat alone at a restaurant, I get too shy to call the staff, so I just raise my hand and wait. If no one notices, I just get up and order myself." Hyun Bong Sok backed this up, saying, "When we eat together, he asks me to order for him."

Son Suk Ku also confessed that he finds it awkward to address restaurant staff informally, sharing, "I want to say ‘Auntie’ (imo), but it feels too weird since they’re not my actual family. I don’t think I’ve ever used that word."

Chef Kwon Sung Joon related to this, revealing that he once struggled with pressing the stop button on a bus! Son Suk Ku laughed and said, "I totally get that."

Fans also got to hear more about Son Suk Ku and Hyun Bong Sok’s close friendship, which began on the set of Netflix’s D.P.. Hyun Bong Sok recalled, "I played a military police commander, so I had to be strict with him."

Son Suk Ku admitted, "At first, it was awkward, but after doing four projects together, we became close. Bong Sok is like a cheat code. If a scene is tough, we just let him handle it, and he always saves the moment."

The show also brought up a viral photo of Hyun Bong Sok, Son Suk Ku, and Koo Kyo Hwan, where fans were shocked to learn their real age order! Hyun Bong Sok is actually the youngest, while Koo Kyo Hwan is the oldest.

Son Suk Ku joked, "I felt a bit weird earlier when I called Bong Sok informally. I was worried it might cause a misunderstanding."

Another viral moment featured a group picture of Hyun Bong Sok and his 1984-born celebrity friends, including Lee Jun Hyuk, SG Wannabe’s Kim Yong-jun, Se7en, Simon D, and Yoo Yeon-seok. One of the funniest online comments about the photo was, "Is this a Teacher’s Day gathering?", making everyone laugh.

Later, Son Suk Ku and Hyun Bong Sok revealed that they aren’t big drinkers. Son Suk Ku admitted, "If I pour a shot of soju, it takes me two hours to finish it. I just wet my lips."

But what really surprised everyone was when Son Suk Ku revealed he doesn’t even own a car! He shared, "Bong Sok always comes to pick me up. I usually take taxis or just walk. If it’s within 5km, I walk. I’ve even walked from Hannam-dong to Gaepo-dong."

Kim Sung Joo was shocked, exclaiming, "I thought you drove a sports car!" Fans were equally surprised, proving once again that Son Suk Ku is full of unexpected charms!

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
