Actor Koo Sung-hwan spent a special day with a friend who is 26 years his junior.
In the episode of MBC's variety show 'I Live Alone' broadcast on the 16th, Koo Sung-hwan was seen enjoying a ride with Taehwan, a younger man he met at a motorcycle license testing center and who is 26 years his junior.
On this day, Koo Sung-hwan reunited with Taehwan, whom he had connected with last winter at the motorcycle license testing center. The two, who had shared the pain of failing the test together at the time, have maintained their friendship by staying in regular contact since then.
Koo Sung-hwan personally prepared a gourmet riding course for Taehwan, who was born in 2006. The pair began their meal with pizza and pasta before visiting a donut shop to enjoy a food-focused outing.

In particular, Koo Sung-hwan said, "Riding is actually just an excuse. I came here to eat with you," adding, "Shall I tell you why I bought the motorcycle? You can have 8 or 9 meals anywhere you go," which drew laughter.
The two then headed to a bungee jumping facility. Koo Sung-hwan revealed, "Actually, today is my third attempt. I had failed twice before," and "It's on my bucket list, but because I failed, I've been feeling unsettled about it."
Before the bungee jump, Koo Sung-hwan weighed himself and recorded 102 kg. He then learned that his usage fee was 10,000 won higher than Taehwan's. When he asked why, he was told it was due to the difference in weight, a response that left him flustered and amused.
After hesitating for a long time with a tense expression, Koo Sung-hwan eventually succeeded in the bungee jump, fulfilling his long-held bucket list item.
After finishing their ride, Koo Sung-hwan shared his impressions, saying, "The thing Taehwan said the most today was 'I'm happy.' I actually felt exactly the same way."
He continued, "Although there is a 26-year age gap, it didn't matter because Taehwan showed me a lot of consideration. It was a trip where I came back receiving so much energy," revealing his unique affection for the younger man.
Koo Sung-hwan also confessed, "When I jumped, what I was thinking about was praying for Taehwan's happiness." When Taehwan expressed his gratitude in response, Koo Sung-hwan said, "I am the one who is honored. Because I could run with someone born in '06," and promised to plan their next gourmet trip.
