Actor Koo Sung-hwan revealed a friend 26 years his junior who shared in his sorrow over the passing of his pet dog, Kkotbuni (Flower).
In an episode of MBC's variety show 'I Live Alone' broadcast on the 16th, Koo Sung-hwan was seen enjoying a motorcycle ride with Park Tae-hwan, a friend born in 2006 whom he met at a motorcycle license testing center.
On that day, Koo Sung-hwan rode his newly purchased motorcycle to a parking lot at Han River Park. The person he met there was Park Tae-hwan, with whom he had formed a connection at the motorcycle license testing center in January.
Koo Sung-hwan revealed, "I failed the test in 10 seconds, but this friend failed even faster than I did," adding, "We have been in frequent contact since then. We became close enough to drink beer together with Kim Dae-ho. I also kept in touch with his mother," surprising viewers.

In particular, Koo Sung-hwan shared that he received great comfort from Park Tae-hwan when he lost his pet dog, Kkotbuni (Flower). He recalled, "When something bad happened to me, this friend reached out cautiously. He called while crying, and I ended up crying with him."
He continued, "If Tae-hwan had found me intimidating, we probably wouldn't have become close. We communicate well. He seems more mature than I do," expressing a special affection for his friend.
Afterward, Koo Sung-hwan guided Park Tae-hwan on a gourmet riding course he had prepared personally. The two enjoyed their time together, eating pizza and pasta before visiting a donut shop.
Koo Sung-hwan joked, "Riding is actually just an excuse. I came to eat with you," adding, "Want me to tell you why your older brother bought a motorcycle? You can eat 8 or 9 meals wherever you go."
The two then headed to a bungee jumping site. Koo Sung-hwan, who had failed his first two attempts at bungee jumping, successfully jumped on his third try.
After finishing the ride, Koo Sung-hwan shared his thoughts, saying, "The phrase Tae-hwan used most today was 'I'm happy.' I actually felt exactly the same way," adding, "Although there is a 26-year age gap, it didn't matter because Tae-hwan showed me a lot of consideration."
He also confessed, "When I jumped, what I was thinking was that I was jumping while praying for Tae-hwan's happiness," bringing warmth to the scene.
Meanwhile, Koo Sung-hwan had previously announced on social media on February 21 that his pet dog, Kkotbuni (Flower), had passed away on the 14th of the same month. Kkotbuni (Flower) had received much love from viewers while appearing on 'I Live Alone' alongside Koo Sung-hwan.
