Veteran Actor Became Kim Hye-soo’s Savior When She Had A Hard Time And Didn’t Eat
This actor is also respected by the entertainment industry for his career and kindness.
While training as a baseball player until high school, Jeong Bo-seok’s health deteriorated due to excessive exercise and he suddenly turned to acting. Despite his late studies, actor Jeong Bo-seok entered Chung-Ang University’s Department of Theater and Film with a clear sense of goal.
Jeong Bo-seok drew attention with significant minor roles until became known with his friendly character in “High Kick Through the Roof.”
The actor once revealed his friendship with Kim Hye-soo by saying, “When she was in high school, we worked together. Kim is a baby to me.”
He revealed, “At the time of filming, Kim Hye-soo was a third-year high school student. My heart ached back then. Even though Kim Hye-soo was a healthy child, her mother restricted her food intake due to her daughter’s job.” Jeong Bo-seok reminisced, “So I secretly went to eat with Kim Hye-soo.” He laughed, saying, “So I held a lot of resentment towards Kim Hye-soo’s mother.”
In October 2014, Jeong Bo-seok joined the ‘Honor Society’ as member number 595, a high-profile donor club. Initially rejecting the membership proposal, he reconsidered quietly noble gestures and eventually joined, with his wife also being a member. Since 2017, he has been serving as the chairman of ‘Dawon Cultural Welfare Foundation,’ a youth foundation, and has been a judge for the Blue Dragon Film Awards since 2014.
