Actor Jung Bo-seok showcased his mansion in Seongbuk-dong, which boasts a picturesque view, and introduced the daily life of a cosmetics CEO through "Salimnam" (Household Men).
On the 10th, KBS 2TV's "Salimnam" featured the daily life of Jung Bo-seok in the segment "Monthly Salimnam."
That day, MC Lee Yo-won said, "This is our first meeting, but I have always thought you were very handsome since I was young watching your works. Seeing you today, you still look just as good," praising Jung's timeless beauty. However, he humbly replied, "In fact, I have never considered myself handsome."
He added, "When I was young, masculine actors with strong features were called handsome, while my style was seen as lacking something in some way. That is why my nickname at the time was 'ugly one,'" surprising the audience.
In response, Eun Ji-won expressed disbelief, saying, "If your senior's nickname is 'ugly one,' what would others be called?"
Jung Bo-seok, known as a pioneer of high ratings, has written history with 50% rating milestones through works such as "Bogo Tto Bogo" (Watching Again and Again) and "Samoguk" (Lament), and has also gained popularity among younger generations through the reverse hit phenomenon of "High Kick! Through the Roof." He expressed satisfaction, stating, "The reason I still feel I have vitality as an actor is that when I go out, elementary school students ask me for autographs."
Jung Bo-seok, who attempted his first observational variety show after 41 years since his debut, also revealed his three-story house in Seongbuk-dong with a European atmosphere.
Jung's home is a luxurious house featuring clean and elegant interior design. Starting his day on the terrace with a great view, he said, "The view from this terrace is truly refreshing. These days, I set up a table (outside) and have meals there," introducing his unique daily routine.
Meanwhile, Jung Bo-seok is currently taking on a new challenge as a cosmetics CEO. Having set up an office in part of his residence, he explained the reason for entering the cosmetics business, saying, "Isn't it difficult to apply various cosmetics every morning? So I decided to develop cosmetics myself. It is something essential for me."
That day, he met with researchers for European market expansion and new product development, asking, "After testing, pimples appeared. What is the reason?" He also offered opinions such as, "In the early stages, I would like you to proceed without adding fragrance. It seems better to add fragrance only after confirming stability by looking purely at the formulation," demonstrating his role as a CEO.
The support from his wife, Ki Min-jung, also drew attention. Ki Min-jung, who took care of Jung's meals while he was working and even volunteered to be his driver, is a campus couple with him. She revealed their special love story, saying, "When I entered university as a freshman, my husband was in his fourth year. We met at the CC (campus club) back then and have been living well together ever since."
