Actor Hwang Jung-min spoke about his son's special affinity.

On the 23rd, a video titled "The Three Mouth-Watering Men's Hop House Nogarí Gathering (ft. Because It Was Fun)" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Choo Sung-hoon'.

In the released video, Choo Sung-hoon is seen meeting Hwang Jung-min, the lead actor of the film 'Hop' (directed by Na Hong-jin), and Eom Moon-seok.

When asked by the production team, "Have you ever been to Japan?" Hwang Jung-min replied, "We went on a family trip. My son watched a lot of anime when he was young, so they say he speaks Japanese well. I told them it was nonsense. I didn't believe it at all. But during our family trip, he made all the reservations, took the subway, and even went to a ryokan in the countryside—he did everything."

In response, Choo Sung-hoon expressed surprise, saying, "I don't know Tokyo's subway system well either. It's difficult."

Hwang Jung-min added, "I was shocked. Since I didn't know anything at all, he acted like a native. The important thing is that he can't read the characters. He learned phrases like 'Let's go quickly' through anime, so it came out as something like 'At the speed of light,' which made everyone laugh."

Choo Sung-hoon then mentioned that he also lived in Hawaii for a period, and Hwang Jung-min said, "Our son also spent summers and winters in Hawaii during elementary school. He's in the military now, but we took him there back then to take care of him. We wanted him to have fun as much as possible with his parents' hearts, and we hoped he would learn English too, but that was a complete bust. Instead, foreign kids learned Korean."

He then shared his son's exceptional friendliness, saying, "When 'Frozen' was at the height of its popularity, I went there and told the children in Korean to 'forget it all' about the song 'Let It Go.' When they asked if he had taught them, he replied, 'Yes, I taught them. All the kids did well.'"
