Actor Joo Sang-wook captivated viewers on 'My Little Old Boy' by revealing both his witty charm and warm side.

On the night of the 13th, Joo appeared as a special guest on SBS's 'My Little Old Boy.' He openly shared stories ranging from behind-the-scenes of the hit SBS drama 'Manager Kim,' which recently concluded, to tales about his wife, actress Cha Ye-ryun, and their nine-year-old daughter.

First, Joo Sang-wook, who played a powerful villain in 'Manager Kim,' stated, "I realized the work's popularity in unexpected places." After visiting a fish market following the drama's broadcast, he heard women say things like, "You shouldn't be doing this," and "That's too bad," recognizing him as his character. He shared how citizens were completely immersed in their roles, bringing laughter to the studio. The script also noted that fish market vendors recalled Joo Sang-wook's character, Joo Kang-chan, and reacted strongly.

He also introduced a heartwarming anecdote with So Ji-sub, who co-starred in 'Manager Kim.' After filming wrapped, So Ji-sub reportedly gifted pure gold to all actors and staff who had worked hard together at his own expense. Joo Sang-wook confirmed he also received a gift of pure gold, saying, "I'm keeping it safely."

Unlike his intense villain image, when family stories came up, an unmistakable fatherly side emerged. When asked whether his nine-year-old daughter resembles him or his wife Cha Ye-ryun more, Joo Sang-wook replied, "She looks like me above the nose and like her mother below," adding, "I think she resembles me a bit more."

Continuing to discuss his daughter's personality, he proudly stated, "She resembles me a lot. She is calm." After expressing his wish that she would resemble him even more, he smiled and added, "Please edit that out," turning the studio into a sea of laughter.

When asked about his daughter's future boyfriend, the father's true feelings as a 'daughter doting dad' were fully revealed. When Seo Jang-hoon asked what he would do if his daughter brought home a boyfriend he didn't like, Joo Sang-wook replied, "Should I move to another country?" and added, "I don't think I could bear to see him." He then joked, "It won't be easy, but I'll mobilize every possible method," even summoning Manager Nam from 'Manager Kim' to prevent the two from meeting, causing the to erupt in laughter.

On this day, Joo Sang-wook also sent sincere support while watching a VCR of Kim Bum-soo, one of the main characters of 'My Little Old Boy,' struggling to regain his voice. As a fan who has long admired the singer, Joo revealed that upon hearing Kim's honest story, "I felt his sincerity and was momentarily overwhelmed with tears." It was a moment of warm empathy distinct from the laughter-filled talk show.

In the drama, Joo Sang-wook left an indelible impression as a powerful villain who drew viewers' curses. On this broadcast, he showed his unpretentious side outside the work, his affection for his daughter, and his empathy for his colleague's pain, conveying another charm of actor Joo Sang-wook.
