On November 22, in the 373rd episode of MBC’s variety program Master in the House, towering 217cm fighter Choi Hong-man shared a surprising glimpse into his life, blending touching revelations with unexpected charisma.
The episode showcased Choi Hong-man’s autumn adventures in Jeju, including swimming in the sea with his managers, reflections on his mother, a pre-birthday celebration, and a surprise phone call with his girlfriend.
Choi Hong-man impressed everyone with his explosive swimming skills, making the Jeju sea seem small in comparison to his giant frame. Commentators joked that the water seemed to rise from his giant splash, prompting laughter in the studio.
He also shared touching memories of his mother, a former haenyeo (female diver), recalling how she prepared fresh seafood for him during childhood. Choi Hong-man revealed that his father had hidden his mother’s illness from him, which created some distance in their relationship. “If my mother were alive today, I would want to share a meal with her,” he said, moving the hosts emotionally.
Choi Hong-man’s birthday eve featured a lavish spread of Jeju delicacies, including whole grilled hairtail, mackerel sashimi, and abalone, as well as a luxury gift from his manager that left him genuinely touched. “I’ve never received a gift like this in my life,” he said gratefully.
The highlight of the episode was a surprise phone call with his girlfriend. Choi Hong-man described her as “cute, sexy, and pure—she has it all.” He revealed that she is 10 years younger and bears a resemblance to actress Han Ye-seul, sparking excitement in the studio. The broadcast promised to share more about their “dopamine-filled” romance.
From his powerful presence in the Jeju waters to deep reflections on family and his blossoming romance, Choi Hong-man offered fans a rare glimpse into his personal life. The full episode aired on November 22 at 11:10 PM KST on “Master in the House”.
