During the broadcast, the story of the infamous escaped prisoner Shin Chang Won was mentioned. In particular, Shin Chang Won had escaped from prison using bizarre methods and was apprehended after 2 years and 6 months on the run.

Hearing this story, Pyo Chang Won expressed his surprise at how much his childhood resembled that of Shin Chang Won. “When I analyzed Shin Chang Won at the time, there were many similarities. I was also a troublemaker when I was young. I fought a lot with my friends and wasn’t much different. I received strict discipline as well”, he said. 

Nevertheless, the profiler emphasized, “However, there is one difference: my parents gave me a lot of love.”

Pyo Chang Won said, “I was able to reflect on my mistakes and learn not to do it again with warmth from my parents,” adding, “That’s why I could be here, but Shin Chang Won lost his mother at a young age and had no one around him like that.”

Finally, he conveyed his thoughts, “I wonder if Shin Chang Won would have lived a different life if someone had given him warm love when he was young.”

Meanwhile, upon hearing the story, Kim Jong Kook said, “I’ve gone through a lot of police checks,” and mentioned that he was mistaken for Shin Chang Won due to their similar appearances and even underwent police checks.

“I was driving, and the police suddenly ran up and knocked on my car,” Kim Jong Kook shared, adding, “They mistook me for Shin Chang Won. I was a singer, so I wore a hat low and covered my face, so they misunderstood.”

In response, Pyo Chang Won said, “Their facial structures are somewhat similar. They have a similar feel in their nose bridges and eye shapes.”
