Actor Song Il-guk revealed the story behind his becoming a 'pedestrian'.
In the MBN entertainment program 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night' broadcast on the 23rd, Song Il-guk appeared as a guest, showcasing his candid and humorous conversation.
On this day, when Kim Ju-ha asked, "I heard you walked here with a backpack during the pre-interview," Song Il-guk replied, "My agency collapsed," surprising everyone.
Song Il-guk explained, "So these days, I'm always riding a B.M.W. — Bus, Metro, Walk," eliciting laughter.

Kim Ju-ha then expressed curiosity, saying, "If you use public transportation, you'll grow taller and look more distinguished, so people might not recognize you." Song Il-guk waved his hands and replied, "I mainly use the subway, and out of 30 to 40 rides, someone might recognize me once."
He added, "Just a short while ago, I had gained a lot of weight. Back then, even without a mask, people didn't recognize me. But now that I've lost some weight, people recognize me even when I'm wearing a mask."
Kim Ju-ha exclaimed, "Indeed, the best plastic surgery is dieting," to which Song Il-guk retorted, "As soon as I get paid, I lose weight," bringing laughter.
