Actor Choi Soo-jong told how he joined as a new presenter for the 「Korean's Table」.

Choi Soo-jong could not easily accept the proposal at the 700th & new presenter press conference of KBS1 'Korean Table' held at KBS New Hall in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 10th"I had a lot of conversations with Mr. Ha Hee-ra, and I also talked to Mr. Choi Bul-am for more than an hour."

Starting with its first broadcast in January 2011, 'Korean Table' has traveled all over the country for the past 14 years and three months to unravel the lives and culture of Koreans on the table. Beyond simple food programs, it has served as a 'taste memory store' that records the culture, history, and stories of local communities contained in one meal and contains memories and longing.




Choi Soo-jong, who served as the new presenter, said "When I first received the offer from the production team, I could not easily accept it. In the process of thinking, I had a lot of conversations with Ha Hee-ra, and I also talked to Choi Bul-am on the phone for more than an hour. The teacher told me about the sense of duty and responsibility to keep as a presenter, and taught me all the characteristics, filming methods, strengths and weaknesses of the production team. I put all of this in my heart and worked on the shoot with a bright heart."

In particular, the advice of Ko Doo-sim, a senior actor, was very helpful in approving the presenter's proposal. Choi Soo-jong "I understand the burden of Mr. Soo-jong, but I hope you can sympathize with each other like your life, listen to other people's stories, and feel joy and pain together," said Ko Du-sim. I'm carefully following Choi Bul-am because I'm afraid I'll step on his shadow. I can't change it perfectly from the beginning, but I'll film it while learning one by one so that the 'Korean's Table' can become Choi Soo-jong, he said.

After finishing a total of four shootings since joining as a presenter, he said "The elderly over 90 years old said "I'm happy to see Choi Soo-jong before I die" When I heard that, I cried a lot at the thought of my parents. Also, 5th grade elementary school students came to me and said, `General Kang Gam-chan, please sign it for me,' and it was so touching. I was grateful that there were people who welcomed me wherever I went. In the meantime, if Mr. Choi Bul-am has been viewed as a father or an observer, I would like to play various roles as a son, father, uncle, brother, and brother. If Choi Bul-am has been studying for 14 to 15 years, I have a desire to stay healthy and do it longer" he expressed his bold ambition.




Meanwhile, the 700th episode of KBS1 "Korean Table" will air at 7:40 p.m. on the 10th.
