Kim Ji-won And Kim Soo-hyun’s On-screen Father Jeon Bae-soo, “Kim Ji-won made me who I am today”

In the latest episode of tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block,” which aired on May 8th, Kim Mi-kyung and Jeon Bae-soo appeared as guests for the show’s “family” special.

Yoo Jae-seok introduced, “You are both popular mothers and fathers these days. A drama would be a big hit if you appear as the mother and the father. I think you would feel proud because every drama you star is successful.” Jeon bragged, “At first, I was puzzled, but now the production company thinks I am an amulet.”

Jeon Bae-soo also said, “In ‘Queen of Tears‘, I am about 10 years older than Yoon-ju, who played my eldest daughter, and 7 years older than who played my oldest son. Now, the ratings are good and I’m used to it, so I don’t hear such words, but when I first appeared in the drama, people said, ‘The eldest son looks older than the father. What kind of father is that?'” he said.

Jeon Bae-soo recalled playing Kim Ji-won’s father in “Fight For My Way,” “My first-ever on screen daughter was Kim Ji-won. So, when we had a script reading for ‘Queen of Tears’ and had a small party, I went to Ji-won and said, ‘Thanks to you, I came all the way here’,” showing off his affection.

Jeon Bae-soo said, “Unexpectedly, all of my on-screen children became lawyers.” Host Jo Se-ho responded, “Woo Young-woo was a lawyer and Kim Soo-hyun was a lawyer.” Jeon played the father of Park Eun-bin (Woo Young-woo) in “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” and Kim Soo-hyun (Baek Hyun-woo) in “Queens of Tears.”

Yoo Jae-seok said, “I think you too will be called mom and dad a lot when you go outside,” and Kim Mi-kyung responded, “I’m on Instagram and I get messages calling me, ‘Mom.’ All foreigners call me mom.”

Yoo Jae-seok then asked Jeon, “You talked about ‘Queen of Tears’ earlier, didn’t you had Kim Soo-hyun as your son? How was it?” and Jeon replied, “Personally, it’s such an honor. I was mesmerized and just looked at his face during the first shoot. Personally, I was a fan and I told myself, ‘I’m really playing Soo-hyun’s dad.’ He was so nice and sometimes he’s like a mischievous kid. On set there were so many Yongdu-ri family members, so he came in with the youngest son mode on.”
