Singer Jeon Young-rok shares his past experience of being unfairly tested for drugs.

In the 33rd episode of MBN's "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night," airing on the 11th, Jeon Young-rok recounts details about the film "Dol-i," in which he was involved in scriptwriting and starring during his peak years in 1985.

The film "Dol-i," which turned Jeon Young-rok—a multi-talented entertainer active as a lyricist, composer, singer, and actor—into an icon of action movies, is praised for re-examining Chungmu-ro action films. It was based on a synopsis written by Jeon while in the military and sparked widespread attention, leading to the production of three sequels.

Especially surprising was Jeon Young-rok's confession that although the director suggested using stuntmen, he insisted on performing the stunts himself. However, he quickly added with a joke, "There were no stuntmen tall enough for my role, so I had to do it myself," bringing laughter to the set.

Continuing, Jeon Young-rok revealed that after the film "Dol-i," actor Yoo Hyun-sang suggested they go together to Baekdu Mountain and listen to heavy metal music. He described his bold style change at the time: wearing ripped jeans and sporting a skinhead haircut. Jeon then disclosed the full story of the unjust drug test incident, stating, "I was eventually arrested and released," and added, "It seems that after 'Dol-i,' everything I did was viewed negatively."

Meanwhile, Hye-eun revealed her story of suddenly quitting singing in 1981—the year of her massive hit song "3rd Han River Bridge" and the height of the so-called "Hye-eun Syndrome"—to open a clothing shop. She explained that she lost direction at a young age after parting ways with her mentors, including composer Gil Ok-yoon and manager Kim Byung-sik, who had always been by her side. However, Hye-eun surprised everyone by confessing, "The clothing shop was a huge success at first, but I quit shortly afterward." She further added, "My final album 'Monologue,' released after deciding to retire, became a hit," before trailing off when she said, "Then the clothing shop had another issue—I met a scammer who wanted to partner with me," leaving the audience in laughter.

In response, Kim Ju-ha shared that while listening to Hye-eun and Jeon Young-rok recount their unjust legal troubles from their prime years, he revealed, "I was once sued and reported by a woman when I visited the police station." He explained the reason: "She claimed I gave her a glare during a news broadcast," shocking everyone. Kim Ju-ha then disclosed his response to the police officer who asked, "Why did you glare at her?" after he was summoned for questioning, drawing laughter from the audience. Viewers are now curious about exactly what Kim Ju-ha told the police.

Meanwhile, "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night" airs every Saturday at 9:40 p.m.
