Chu Sung-hoon, who went up to the place where he played as a child, calling it "Blue Hill", said "I played here a lot. It's been about 45 years since I came back up,' he said. "When I'm having a hard time, I come to this place and go back to my original intention. I feel like I have to work hard. I think I'm here because there was a place like this." "But it's a little fortunate that it's still here..." he added.

Joo Woo-jae asked "What are your close friends doing when you were young?" and Choo Sung-hoon replied "Some of your close friends are dead." As a result, not only Joo Woo-jae but also other performers who were watching the VCR were embarrassed.

However, Chu Sung-hoon "Of course, there are dead people. And I'm okay now, but in the past, I had a friend who went to strange places or yakuza because the house was not good. If there's a fight there, it's dead."




Chu Sung-hoon also went to Yakiniku once a month because we didn't have money. My father somehow couldn't go to an expensive place to feed his child meat, but he went to a yakiniku restaurant like an hour buffet. I didn't know, so I thought those stores were yakiniku houses"And I couldn't go to McDonald's because it was expensive. Those memories remind me of my childhood.

Meanwhile, Chu Sung-hoon headed in front of the demolished house site. Recently, he reported on social media that his childhood home had been demolished, and the disappearance of his house from birth to the age of 12 has completely disappeared"I couldn't hide my regret.
