Actor Yoon Kyung-ho confessed that he has fallen victim to "star sickness."

On the 3rd, a video released on the YouTube channel 'Channel Jo Jung-suk' showed Yoon Kyung-ho climbing Gwanaksan Mountain with his close friend Jo Jung-suk, followed by a mukbang session of boiled chicken.

In the released video, Yoon Kyung-ho turned around upon hearing a voice from somewhere and said, "Yes?" before muttering, "Oh, I was wrong."

He then laughed, saying, "I think I've developed some kind of 'axe sickness' or 'star sickness.' It feels like everyone is talking to me and greeting me."

At that, Jo Jung-suk revealed an anecdote about how Yoon Kyung-ho had once traveled to Japan with actor Kim Ui-seong after the Netflix series "Critical Point" aired. When no one recognized Yoon Kyung-ho because he wasn't wearing a mask, he grumbled to Kim Ui-seong, "I guess the Japanese people haven't watched 'Critical Point'."

In response, Yoon Kyung-ho said, "Ui-seong hyung told me, 'You're in the late stages of star sickness.'" He added, "For about a day or two, people didn't recognize me. That's when I realized I had been living in delusion. The curtain suddenly lifted, and I thought, 'Right, Kyung-ho. You're just a person.'"

Jo Jung-suk said, "I've had the same thought before. Actors seem to experience this. While we shouldn't feel hurt when people don't recognize us, on the other hand, our work can inspire someone who is sick to recover, bring joy through endorphins, or even lead them to get married. I am that kind of influential person."

Yoon Kyung-ho also agreed, saying, "Our works sometimes give hope, create dating opportunities, and provide motivation to others."

Meanwhile, Yoon Kyung-ho is currently starring in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Kim Bu-jang," which premiered last month on the 26th. "Kim Bu-jang" has sparked an explosive box office phenomenon, recording a national viewership rating of 15.7% in just two episodes.
