On January 8, the online press conference for Channel A’s highly anticipated new variety show Chef & Hunter gathered fans and media alike, with a star lineup featuring Choo Sung-hoon, Im Woo-il, Kyung Soo-jin, director Koo Jang-hyun, and MC Park Kyung-rim leading the lively discussion. What started as a question about memorable filming moments quickly turned into the most talked-about anecdote of the event, leaving everyone in stitches (and a little shocked at first).
The Viral Low Kick Story That Stole the Show
When director Koo Jang-hyun was asked about a standout moment from filming, he dropped a bombshell: “Senior Choo Sung-hoon delivered a low kick to Kyung Soo-jin.” The virtual room filled with gasps, but MC Park Kyung-rim was quick to defuse any misunderstandings, joking, “This sounds way more serious than it is—let’s hear the rest!” Her quick wit sparked immediate laughter, easing the surprised tension.
Im Woo-il jumped into the fun, teasing his co-star: “At first glance, it looks like hyung just assaulted her, right?” After getting a laugh from the crowd, he clarified, “Actually, she asked him to do it!” Choo Sung-hoon then chimed in with a playful defense, sharing, “Even elementary school kids come up to me at events asking for low kicks—how am I supposed to say no?” His lighthearted response had everyone cracking up even more.
Im Woo-il also added another funny tidbit, revealing that celebrity chef Edward Lee had also received a low kick from Choo Sung-hoon, to the point where he stumbled out of the camera frame. It seems like the former MMA star’s signature move is a hit (literally) among the cast.
As the person directly involved, Kyung Soo-jin gave her honest, relatable take: “I asked him to kick me as a fun memento of our time on set.” But she didn’t hold back on the painful aftermath. “After that low kick, I could barely walk to the bathroom. It hurt so much for days!” Her quirky, unfiltered story added a charming, human touch to the moment, showing that even playful set interactions can come with unexpected (and lasting) consequences.
