Actor Jin Seon-gyu gives a thumbs-up to Hee-joon's exceptional acting passion since their school days.

According to KBS on the 15th, actors Jin Seon-gyu and Hee-joon, who have maintained a 27-year friendship since meeting at the Korean Academy of Arts (KAA), will appear as guests on the variety program "Oktopbang's Problem Children," airing on the afternoon of the 17th on KBS 2TV.

In that day's broadcast, Jin Seon-gyu and Hee-joon will share anecdotes from their KAA days. In particular, Jin Seon-gyu recalls Hee-joon's passionate 20s, during which he joined a club within KAA even before officially enrolling. It is reported that Jin Seon-gyu, who described the 20th-year-old Hee-joon as resembling the gentle senior Lee Byung-hun, lavished praise on Hee-joon, who was filled with pure acting passion.

Hee-joon then shares a well-known episode from KAA about Jin Seon-gyu's so-called "sleepless part-time job." During their time at KAA, Jin Seon-gyu would go straight to a convenience store after school and dedicate 24 hours to both classes and his part-time job. He is even set to reveal the story of collapsing on the subway due to exhaustion after working without sleep for three days.

Curiosity arises as to what reason compelled Jin Seon-gyu to work and attend classes simultaneously without sleep for three days.

Additionally, in that day's broadcast, Jin Seon-gyu will reveal details of his marital life with actress Park Bo-kyung. Having disclosed that they have been married for 17 years, Jin Seon-gyu shares a chilling anecdote from a recent conversation with his wife, Park Bo-kyung.

While discussing death with his family, Jin Seon-gyu said, "Since our children need their mother, it would be better if I die first." His wife, Park Bo-kyung, replied, "If I die first, please bury me together with you," a moment that left him shivering.

Episodes of Park Bo-kyung, who skillfully teases and provokes Jin Seon-gyu with her sharp wit, will be revealed in the main broadcast. The program airs at 10:10 p.m. on the 17th.
