Cho Woo-jin, unknown for 15 years, became a father of a goose for 3 years. Hide that he is an actor with a 9-year-old daughter (Yuquiz)



'Youquiz' Cho Woo-jin showed his affection for his family.

Actor Cho Woo-jin appeared on tvN's entertainment program 'Uquiz on the Block', which aired on the 17th.

Cho Woo-jin, who made his debut in a play in 1999 and became an actor in his 27th year. However, he spent more time working economically than he did on stage due to his long life of obscurity. Cho Woo-jin "I kept looking for jobs because I was pushed back and couldn't eat, so I was looking for a lot of jobs. When it accumulated economically, I went to the stage and performed. I didn't go to the army. It's not an exemption, it's a defense industry, so he said he would go into the factory and earn some tuition. He confessed, "I felt a sense of shame because I was so bad at dori."




Cho Woo-jin said he hasn't had a part-time job in 16 years. Cho Woo-jin said, "I turned my profile around while walking around the production company," adding, "I took a clumsy photo while turning it behind my shirt like a beer commercial." When I put it on my vitamin drink, he saw my face once. Since then, he has asked me to come take pictures and audition." Cho Woo-jin even said "Welcome" because he didn't look at me because I was wearing sneakers and jeans, so I was wearing shoes and suits and making noises. I couldn't go into the agency room carelessly, but when I went in wearing a suit, I went in before I said, "No, I can't." That's how I gave you a profile."

And after 15 years of being unknown, I was contacted to audition for 'Insiders'. Cho Woo-jin, who went without knowing what kind of movie it was, said "I met director Cho at 5 p.m., but how tired would he be after watching the same performance from 10 a.m.?" But I watched it for an hour. They keep asking me to do something. So tired of hard work?The face of the light was smiling brightly. At that time, the feeling was slightly different, but expectations still fell. Three days later, director Cho called me directly. The director wanted to see it. I've never had an audition that the director wanted me to watch" he said.

Cho Woo-jin finally passed after auditioning with director Woo Min-ho. Cho Woo-jin, whose life changed to 'Insiders', won the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Supporting Actor through 'National Bankruptcy Day'. Cho Woo-jin kneeled down and handed the trophy to his wife. Cho Woo-jin has been supporting him for more than 10 years. When I thought of who would be most pleased at this moment, I thought of my wife's face," he said, expressing his gratitude to his wife.




My 9-year-old daughter doesn't know that Cho Woo-jin is an actor. Cho Woo-jin "I don't watch TV at home and I think I can fully accept my father's job only when my daughter is self-formed. You want to show off your dad on TV, so you're more careful" he said.

Jo Se-ho wondered "Don't people recognize you when you go around with your dad?" In response, Cho Woo-jin "So he covers everything a lot. I went to the House of Representatives, and I wore a mask and sunglasses and covered my face as much as possible. That's why they're even more curious. The teacher openly asked her daughter 'Daddy, why did you cover everything up?' So I never went again, he said, giving me a laugh.

"I'm going to talk about it next year or soCho Woo-jin and Yoo Jae-seok "may already be pretending not to know. Just watch this broadcast together. You may be the only one in the family who doesn't know," he said, adding laughter.




Cho Woo-jin is a goose dad for three years now. Cho Woo-jin said "When you go home, there's no one. I eat roasted seaweed for wine or whiskey. "I miss my daughter so much now"He expressed his longing for his family.

Cho Woo-jin "I spend a lot of time apart from each other, so I want to stick to my emotions or physical distance as much as possible during the time we spend together. No matter how tired I am, I play with my dad. There's something my wife and I say the same thing. The best thing to do in my life was to give birth to a daughter. So I want to be my best friend to my daughter" he said.
