Choi Soo-jong announced that he plans to donate all organs, including skin tissue.
In the KBS2 program "Choi Soo-jong's Travel Agency Talk 2" aired on the 8th, actors Choi Soo-jong, Jin Tae-hyun, and Dong-ha were shown enjoying a healing trip to Goheung, Jeollanam-do.
On that day, Jin Tae-hyun said, "Today was meaningful because we visited an onion field and saw elderly people creating art. We're all going to age someday. I was suddenly thinking about how we will live at that age."
Jin Tae-hyun added, "Seeing the elderly today, I envisioned the future and became curious. I thought about that."
In response, Choi Soo-jong said, "When I was younger, from my late twenties, there were many senior colleagues who took on the role of father. Starting with Lee Soon-jae, Baek Il-seob, Lee Jeong-gil, Han Jin-hee, and Shin Gu. Anyway, many of them said one thing in common: 'Soo-jong, prepare to be a father.' I wondered what they meant, but suddenly I realized I was playing the role of a father."
Choi Soo-jong remarked, "In a while, I will also take on the role of a grandfather. In fact, I've decided to donate everything, not just organs but also skin, from head to toe. I should live healthily, and whether I go to heaven in good health or not, I think it will be possible to donate this way."
He said, "I will manage my body and take good care of it. Seeing elderly people who are ninety-six with vivid memories and actively working makes me realize that I might be given such things too."
Meanwhile, Choi Soo-jong has been married to fellow actor Ha Hee-ra since 1993 and has one son and one daughter.
