• Son Suk Ku reveal his unexpected lifestyle—No car, no drinking, and too shy to order food at restaurants

    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!
