Recently, as the activities of ‘tall stars’ such as Seo Jang-hoon and Ha Seung-jin are prominent, the so-called ‘giant golden age’ is opening. In the meantime, Choi Hong-man, who created a buzz with ‘handful magic’ that makes everything miniature on the previous ‘The Manager’, shouts “I am the original giant” and shows his presence.
Following this, an unexpected meeting with the ‘221cm giant’ Ha Seung-jin is also revealed. He recalls, “I happened to run into him at a restaurant in Jeju, and Ha Seung-jin came up first and greeted me warmly.” Yet, he added, “But the atmosphere was a bit awkward,” raising curiosity about what story might be hidden behind the giant meeting.
Meanwhile, at a regular shop in Seoul he visited before his schedule, Choi Hong-man’s unexpected past is revealed. That day, he met the hair stylist who has been in charge of him for 17 years and mentioned his hidden singing career as part of the co-ed group ‘Beauty and the Beast.’
Choi Hong-man confessed that his first stage became his last due to producer fraud, sharing a regretful backstory. Although he gave up his dream of becoming a singer, he has kept a close relationship for 17 years with the hair stylist he met back then.
Similarly, Choi Hong-man’s unexpected clumsy charm also shines. After completing his schedule, when he boarded a flight to Jeju, he clutched a cushion tightly with nervousness as the plane took off, creating a funny scene.
When panelists asked, “Are you usually scared?”, he confessed, “Due to fear of heights, I can only ride a carousel even at amusement parks.” You can find out about ‘The reverse giant’ Choi Hong-man’s thrilling flight episode on the upcoming broadcast.
The daily life of the ‘original giant’ Choi Hong-man, who oscillates between overwhelming physicality and unexpected clumsiness, will be unveiled on the 22nd(Sat) at 11:10 PM on ‘The Manager’.
