In the first episode of "Let's Go GO4", which aired on the 9th, actor Kang Bu-ja, who has been acting for 64 years, appeared as the first guest and delivered laughter and emotion, successfully returning to the weekend night following last season.
MC Ahn Jung-hwan and Hong Hyun-hee were invited to the home of actor Kang Bu-ja in Cheongdam-dong, and admired the house filled with rare works of art from the entrance to the living room. Kang Bu-ja's house incorporated not only works of art, but also the love and philosophy of acting of Kang Bu-ja, who has lived a single life of acting for about 64 years. Kang Bu-ja introduced a decorative cabinet containing gravestones and trinkets that she had collected while appearing in historical dramas, saying, "(There are) props, but I bought them myself. That's why when I watch historical dramas these days, I get angry when I see props that don't fit my role."
Not only that, but the rich man "I never get sponsored for clothes either. You can't act as much as you want if you're sponsored. And if I can't shoot on the day, I have to connect the next day's shoot, but it's hard to get sponsorship, so I prepare everything with my clothes," he said, explaining his philosophy of acting.
Kang also expressed his affection for his family. Kang Bu-ja, who had a secret relationship with actor Lee Muk-won, known as KBS's co-star and original killer smile, for about four years, said, `My husband is the eldest son of seven siblings, and when I saw that, I thought, 'I should come into this house and be a pillar, so I got married.'" Looking at the stone pictures of his granddaughters, Kang Boo-soo expressed his affection, saying, `He became a lawyer, he is a medical student, he is a scholarship student at the University of Michigan.'
Kang Bu-ja's house included the works of artists Kim Heung-soo, Kim Jong-hak, and Roh Sang-gyun, as well as paying for a meeting 40 years agoPainter Kim Chang-yeol's works, which are reminiscent of museums, caught everyone's attention. In particular, the medicine cabinet, which was said to be the work of Han Sang-soo, a human cultural asset, drew everyone's admiration with its antique design with beautiful numbers laid out one by one.
Kang Boo-soo, who unveiled his house for the first time through this broadcast, said, "(Even if the house is released), he can't even find the original money. After carefully explaining the reason for not disclosing the house, some people have been saying, "How can the rich live like that?" and others saying, "The rich live like that," they have been collecting their best for 60 years. Fixed income was spent on housekeeping, and when there was additional income, I collected the works one by one," he said, expressing his affection for the works.
After touring the house, Kang Bu-ja, a self-proclaimed soccer fan (football fan), had a happy time talking about soccer with Ahn Jung-hwan. Kang remembered vividly the soccer game a long time ago, saying, `I watched the 2002 match against Italy, and Ahn Jung-hwan was cool then.'I recently watched Tottenham's Son Heung-min play, and Yang Min-hyuk was on the substitute list. "I stayed up all night to watch Yang Min-hyuk play in the game," he said, expressing his special affection for soccer, saying, "If there is a World Cup-like game, I will stay up all night watching even if there is a drama recording."
When Hong Hyun-hee asked "Do you have a favorite foreign player," Kang replied "I like Griezmann, Neymar, and Mbappe." When asked "Park Ji-sung vs Ahn Jung-hwan", he said "Football is Park Ji-sung" and "When Park Ji-sung was held by Coach Guus Hiddink, I was impressed "
