Lee Joo Ahn: The Passionate Star of “Bon Appetit, Your Majesty”
Lee Joo Ahn, known for his role as Gong Gil in the historical drama Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, steals the spotlight with his dedication and versatility. From his rigorous preparation for roles to his personal sacrifices, Joo Ahn’s story is one of passion and resilience.
A Life of Skill-Building
Joo Ahn approaches life like a role-playing game, constantly “leveling up” his skills. Whether it’s playing the piano, practicing acrobatics, or learning pansori, he’s always preparing for his next role. His manager, Kim Yu Kyeong, reveals his diverse talents, including ballet, pole dancing, Muay Thai, and horseback riding. This dedication shone through in his 200 hours of action training and 100 hours of horse riding for Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, allowing him to perform 90-95% of his action scenes without a double.
A Heartfelt Sacrifice
One of the episode’s most touching moments is Joo Ahn’s story of donating 70-80% of his liver to his mother, who suffered from liver cirrhosis and cancer. Despite medical risks and a smaller-than-average liver, Joo Ahn’s decision reflects his deep familial love. His mother is now fully recovered, though he faces challenges with alcohol metabolism due to the donation.
Stylish Living in Seoul
Joo Ahn’s chic Seoul apartment, with its green accents, black chandelier, and outdoor patio, reflects his meticulous taste. He spent three months studying interior design to create his dream home, even assembling a chandelier himself. His morning routine—complete with coffee, supplements, and piano practice—exudes a cinematic charm, earning him the title of the “prettiest” guest by the show’s hosts.
Trash Man: The Eco-Friendly Shopping Guru
Kim Suk Hoon, dubbed the “Trash Ambassador,” showcases his commitment to sustainable living. Known for his role as Hong Gil Dong in 1998, Suk Hoon now champions eco-friendly practices, from upcycled clothing to shopping at refurb markets.
Refurb Market Adventures
Suk Hoon and his manager visit a refurb market in Paju, where slightly damaged or near-expiration groceries and appliances are sold at steep discounts. From $1 bananas to a $125 kids’ bicycle (originally $200+), Suk Hoon carefully compares prices and resists impulse buys, guided by his manager’s frugality. Their grocery haul, including green onions and cherry tomatoes, totals just $29.60, proving sustainability can be budget-friendly.
Auction for a Cause
Suk Hoon hosts an auction at MYSTIC STORY, selling donated items like a Bottega Veneta belt and a PlayStation 4 to raise funds for climate-vulnerable communities. The event raises $2,800, donated to Seoul Energy Plus to help those struggling with electricity costs due to global warming. His initiative highlights the importance of reusing items to reduce waste.
Kim Jang Hoon’s Dokdo Day Performance
The episode also features Kim Jang Hoon, a rock ballad legend with 34 years of experience, performing on Dokdo for his sixth visit on October 25, Dokdo Day. His free concert on a cruise from Pohang to Ulleungdo and a heartfelt rendition of “Aegukga” on Dokdo celebrate Korean pride and unity.
Tzuyang’s Foodie Extravaganza
The episode wraps up with Tzuyang, the beloved food content creator, indulging in a breakfast feast of spicy tteokbokki and more. Her cinema visit, complete with corn dogs and eight drinks, showcases her unmatched food-ordering speed and appetite, leaving viewers both amazed and hungry.
