On this day, Park Joong-hoon looked back on the process of making his debut as an actor. He has done lighting and acting since his freshman year in college, shooting 16mm student films. At that time, there was no beepy, so I made a business card by myself and ran around the movie scene and distributed it to my seniors. "Then, I received an audition offer for 'Bombo", but after the audition, I didn't hear from him, so I went there myself. I asked if it didn't work and he said yes. So, he explained, `Please let me appear in a movie company.'




He said "At that time, there were Kang Woo-seok and Koo Young-kyu, who were assistant directors. It was the beginning of my life that I was able to work with them," he recalled.

When Park Kyung-rim mentioned \'My love, my bride' is a masterpiece' even now, Park Joong-hoon smiled and remembered the late Choi Jin-sil. He "Originally the heroine of the movie was not Choi Jin-sil. To be honest, I opposed it at first. However, the film company and the director said, `Let's do it together,' so we filmed it. When filming began, my mind completely changed. He was so good at acting. It was bright, lively, and really lovely." Choi Jin-sil's popularity exploded around the time of the opening. The poster also showed the truth face bigger than my face"I laughed. He recalled, "A few years later, we were together again in 'Killing Manura', and even then, he was still a pleasant and humane actor."




Heo Jae, who appeared with him, laughed, saying, `Joong-hoon is still like a normal person, although he has been friends for 45 years.' Kim Min-joon said, `My brother offered me the first director, but I refused then", he confessed.

Park Joong-hoon hung on for a month. In the end, he persuaded him by jokingly saying, `Don't learn until you die.' He praised Min-joon, saying, `Even to me, he was like a movie star.'

In the broadcast on this day, Park Joong-hoon personally airlifted food from a restaurant for his best friends and set up a table. He laughed, saying, `I couldn't even enter the kitchen when I was young because I was the youngest son of my 15th son, Jong-son.'
