Magician Choi Hyun-woo revealed an unexpected connection.
In the episode of MBC's 'My Little Television' aired on the 13th, Choi Hyun-woo was seen throwing the first pitch at a game between the LG Twins and the Lotte Giants held at the Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul.
While moving to the pitcher's mound, Choi Hyun-woo said, "I wonder if the owner will come today," and added, "I’ve known the LG chairman since my twenties," surprising everyone.
In response, his manager asked, "Did you meet in Pyongyang back then?" Choi Hyun-woo replied, "I met him in my early to mid-twenties, and I was really surprised when I later saw the news that he became the chairman. I thought he was from the LG family, but I never expected he would become the chairman. Who would have thought we would go to North Korea together?"
Choi Hyun-woo also mentioned that he met Chairman Koo in Pyongyang during the inter-Korean summit in 2018, saying, "We met after a long time in North Korea. He said, 'Hyun-woo, it's been a while.' But I couldn't drop the formalities. Then he said, 'We're the same age, so just speak informally,'” he confessed.
