Today (9th) at 8:50 p.m., in the TV CHOSUN "Gourmet Chef Heo Young-man's White Rice Journey," actor Song Il-kook, known as "triplet dad," will appear to taste the spring of Songdo. Doctor Song Il-kook from Songdo is set to guide as he wishes to teach the gourmet a thing or two about flavors.
Updates on actor Song Il-kook, who rose to stardom playing the lead role in the 2006 historical drama "Jumong," are shared. Not only in historical dramas but also through the entertainment program "The Return of Superman," Song Il-kook, garnering much attention as the triplet dad, had been going strong in his prime, yet he suddenly disappeared and could not be found on screen. In response, gourmet chef Heo Young-man reportedly asked him what he had been doing all this time, jokingly bombarding him with questions like, "Have you been taking living expenses from your wife up until now?" which reportedly made him break into a cold sweat.
Song Il-kook recently answered that he has been focusing more on performances and musicals rather than broadcasting. He specifically mentioned that despite being a veteran actor in his 27th year since his debut, he went to auditions like a newcomer, raising curiosity about what circumstances led to that.
Meanwhile, Song Il-kook reveals a special connection with actor Yoo Dong-geun, which led him to start acting. After "Jumong," he actively participated in various works, and even though he had no complaints, there was a time when he wandered. During a frustrating period where he couldn't see a future, his mother, Kim Eul-dong, introduced him to actor Yoo Dong-geun at the filming site of the drama "Eyes of the Dragon," where he was encouraged with the words, "If I were you, I would act." That statement stuck in his mind, leading him to apply for the MBC public talent audition. Details about the results of his challenge to become an actor will be explored.
On this day, Song Il-kook continuously expresses his affection for his family, showcasing his loving side. In front of his triplets Daehan, Minguk, and Manse, Song Il-kook is undeniably a "dad fool." When asked by the gourmet how he managed to raise three children, he laughs heartily while sharing humorous anecdotes about the washing machine running for 24 hours and diapers disappearing at the rate of a pack per day.
Additionally, his love for his wife remains steadfast. There were times when Song Il-kook, once popular as a national actor, faced rejection not once but twice from his wife, which bruised his pride. The behind-the-scenes story of the couple's first meeting, resembling a romantic sitcom, will be revealed.
The TV CHOSUN "Gourmet Chef Heo Young-man's White Rice Journey" featuring actor Song Il-kook, known as "dad of Songdo," will air today (9th) at 8:50 p.m.
