The Viral Low Kick Challenge Takes Center Stage at Chef & Hunter Press Conference
On January 8, during the online press conference for Channel A’s highly anticipated new variety show Chef & Hunter, the cast and crew shared some hilarious behind-the-scenes moments that had everyone in stitches. When asked about the most fun moment from filming so far, PD Koo Jang-hyun didn’t hesitate to bring up Kyung Soo-jin’s experience with Choo Sung-hoon’s famous low kick challenge. “The first thing that pops into my head is Kyung Soo-jin getting hit with a low kick by Choo Sung-hoon,” he revealed, sparking laughter from everyone on the call.
But Lim Woo-il was quick to jump in and clarify the situation to avoid any misunderstandings. “Wait, you might get the wrong idea here—Kyung Soo-jin actually asked to get hit with that low kick herself!” he explained, adding even more amusement to the conversation. PD Koo didn’t stop there, though; he went on to share an even more unexpected story involving the show’s star chef, Edward Lee. “Even Chef Edward Lee joined in on the fun and took a low kick from Choo Sung-hoon,” he said. “After getting hit, he stumbled around and ended up stepping right out of the camera frame!” That detail only added to the excitement and curiosity surrounding the new show.
Choo Sung-hoon’s low kick challenge has been making waves across Korean social media for some time now, with countless short-form clips of celebrities asking to take his iconic low kick going viral online. Compilation videos of these moments have also become huge hits, racking up millions of views and turning the challenge into a beloved trend. When asked about the popularity of the challenge, Choo Sung-hoon couldn’t help but laugh as he shared a recent experience. “Nowadays, whenever I go to any event, even little kids come up to me and ask me to hit them with a low kick,” he said. “I’m like, ‘How can I do that to you?’ It’s really funny how widespread this has become.”
Kyung Soo-jin, who had firsthand experience with the low kick, also shared her honest thoughts on what it felt like. “Let me tell you, after getting hit with that low kick, it was so hard to even walk to the bathroom,” she admitted. “Every time I sat down, it still hurt like crazy!” Her candid comment had everyone laughing again, showing just how memorable (and painful) the challenge can be.
