'Ten-million-viewer actor' Park Ji-hoon (27), formerly of the group Wanna One, made headlines by revealing that he is cohabiting with fellow actor Lee Jong-moo, who is his same age.

'On the 9th, the 107th episode of Yoo Jae-suk's web variety show "Ping-gyeo-go" was released on the YouTube channel "Tteun-tteun." Park Ji-hoon, Yoon Kyung-ho, and special guest Lee Sang-i, the main cast of the new OTT TVING original "The Legend of the Cook" (hereinafter "The Cook"), appeared as guests.

'In the video, Yoon Kyung-ho surprised viewers by mentioning that Park Ji-hoon is currently living with Lee Jong-moo, drawing attention. Park Ji-hoon and Lee Jong-moo are alumni of Seoul Performing Arts High School, and Lee Jong-moo also appeared in "The Cook" in the role of a driver.

'Yoon Kyung-ho said, "Lee Jong-moo also appears as a driver in our 'The Cook.' I heard how he became close with that quiet friend (Park Ji-hoon), and he said, 'He's a really cool friend.' Jong-moo is also a very taciturn and diligent friend. Although their personalities don't seem to match, it seems that during high school, Ji-hoon once asked Jong-moo for a loan. He had no money to buy a meal, only wanted to buy bread, so he asked to borrow money, and it seems Jong-moo lent Ji-hoon the money."

'In response, Park Ji-hoon recalled, "During my trainee days, I didn't have a wallet. I had to leave everything to my agency because I was worried about buying unhealthy things or instant food. So there was a time when I had not a single won in my pocket, but I really wanted to eat bread. I asked, 'Jong-moo, can you lend me 1,000 won?' and he readily lent it to me. I was so grateful. Time passed, and we met at a high school reunion."

'After debuting with Wanna One, they reunited at a high school reunion. Park Ji-hoon said, "At that time, I was going through a very hard time. Not just economically or emotionally, but physically, I was at rock bottom. When I was out talking with Jong-moo, he suddenly asked me, 'Are you having a hard time?' Hearing those words made me cry so much, and I cried uncontrollably at the Gangnam Hanbok market. Jong-moo hugged me then. From that moment on, we became extremely close quickly, and eventually ended up living together. We weren't close when we were in school. Since I don't usually share my struggles with anyone and I'm not the type to approach people first, I guess I just wanted to hear that 'Are you having a hard time?' remark."

'Additionally, Park Ji-hoon recalled, "Jong-moo didn't invite me to the reunion; it was another friend. I really struggled with whether to go or not. Because I didn't spend much time at school and was someone who left early to go to the practice room. When I actually went to the reunion and saw my friends, there were some who were happy to see me, and some who weren't."

'In response, Yoon Kyung-ho relayed, "Ji-hoon looked like he was struggling, but Jong-moo said he heard more comments like 'It's great that you're doing well.' At the time, it seemed difficult for Ji-hoon to be at that place."

'Then Yoon Kyung-ho also praised Lee Jong-moo's thoughtfulness, saying, "Jong-moo even put a privacy protection film on my smartphone. He takes care of even these kinds of things."

'Lee Sang-i asked, "How did you end up living together?" and Park Ji-hoon answered, "I like working out, and that friend is a fitness trainer. Our hobbies are exactly the same, so we became extremely close quickly by working out together."

'Yoon Kyung-ho added, "It seems Ji-hoon proposed to Jong-moo first to live together."

'"The Cook" will be first released on TVING at 8:50 p.m. on the 11th. It can be watched simultaneously on tvN and TVING every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.'
