The parents of actor Ji Seung-hyun are revealed.

In the episode of KBS 2TV's "Shin Sang-chulsi Pyeonstaurant" (hereinafter "Chef's Table"), airing at 8:30 p.m. on the 17th, actor Ji Seung-hyun will share a day spent with his parents while enjoying life in a remote mountain area. Through this broadcast, it is also revealed that both of Ji Seung-hyun's parents have long been dedicated to the teaching profession.

In the released VCR, Ji Seung-hyun heads out for exercise at what he calls a "mountain gym" (a fitness center nestled among dense trees). As he works hard to awaken his muscles, an elderly man appears beside him, burning with athletic passion amid powerful shouts of encouragement. The two eventually engage in a muscle-off competition, sparking a playful rivalry that leaves viewers laughing.

Shortly after, the identity of the elderly man is revealed as Ji Seung-hyun's father. With a combined 10th-dan rank in martial arts (6th-dan in judo and 4th-dan in taekwondo), his father served as a physical education teacher for 38 years. Ji Seung-hyun's mother also held the position of school principal, making her an educator who dedicated many years to teaching.

Ji Seung-hyun's father remarked, "I originally planned to transfer to the school where my son attends," offering a meaningful yet humorous revelation about his son's school days that drew laughter from viewers.

Meanwhile, the broadcast also highlights the literary DNA passed down from father to son between Ji Seung-hyun and his father. Earlier, Ji Seung-hyun announced through "Chef's Table" that he writes essays. Notably, he even penned the lyrics for the song "Hard-Tteokbokki," which he created alongside singer Yeong-tak. In fact, Ji Seung-hyun's father recently made his debut as an essayist, beginning a second chapter in his life. The pair, who respect each other deeply, playfully bickered over their respective achievements—"I've debuted as an author" and "My album has been released"—turning the show into a sea of laughter, according to reports.

Meanwhile, "Shin Sang-chulsi Pyeonstaurant" will air at 8:30 p.m. on the 17th.
