'You have to pay for Choo Sung-hoon's meal' Producer Song Joon-seop and Producer Anjimin expressed their admiration for Choo's sense of entertainment.

Producer Song Joon-seop and producer Anjimin met with Sports Chosun at the ENA headquarters in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 25th and said, `Choo Sung-hoon seems to have become an entertainment god.'

The co-produced entertainment show `Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal' by ENA and EBS is a real survival travel story in which Choo Sung-hoon directly experiences extreme jobs and solves a meal with the money he has earned. Producer Song Joon-seop of EBS and producer Angel Min of ENA directed it.

Producer Song said of Choo Sung-hoon, who recently entered his prime as an entertainer, "'When you think of Choo Sung-hoon, don't you think of a character that comes to mind?' As I said at the press conference earlier, you are very shy. At the beginning of the shoot, he told producer Ahn and I that it would be nice to have a cast of similar age. But the more we filmed, the more people were looking for Jun Young and Eun Ji. I think you have become more curious about Mr. Yeobun because you went to Egypt a few weeks ago. Je-Ren was also amazed. Perhaps Chu Sung-hoon had questions about Mr. Je-bin as a YouTuber.

Then, regarding the chemistry between Choo Sung-hoon, Lee Eun-ji, and Kwak Jun-bin, "Each seems to have their own strengths. Kwak Jun-bin is a travel creator, and Eun-ji is very delicate between Choo Sung-hoon and Kwak Jun-bin. Chu Sung-hoon looks at the big picture for the fun of the overall program. He directs like the director on how to make it funny."

In particular, Choo Sung-hoon was surprised to clean his ears for the first time in 49 years. Producer Ahn said "I think the entertainment god has come to the fore. There were viewers who wanted to see Chu Sung-hoon's earwax, and there were those who wanted to see it. Perhaps it is the scene that we have discussed the most with the deliberation team. I also mosaiced and posted it on YouTube, but it was hard to get on the right line"He confessed.

Meanwhile, ENA, EBS "Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal" airs every Saturday at 7:50 p.m.
