Broadcaster Choo Sung-hoon confessed that his childhood friends have become Yakuza.
On the 22nd, in the MBC entertainment program "Save Me! Homes," Choo Sung-hoon was seen visiting his hometown of Osaka, Japan, with Joo Woo-jae.
On that day, Choo Sung-hoon explored Ikuno Ward in Osaka, his hometown. Finding a playground that still holds memories from his childhood, he said, "When I'm having a hard time, I come to places like this to return to my original self. It makes me feel like I need to work hard," adding, "It's because of places like this that I am who I am."
Joo Woo-jae asked, "What about your childhood friends now?" and Choo Sung-hoon replied, "Some of my close friends have died," surprising everyone.
Choo Sung-hoon explained, "Ikuno Ward is fine now, but in the past, some friends went down a strange path due to difficult family situations and became involved with the Yakuza." He mentioned the unfortunate fate of friends who entered the world of Yakuza, saying, "If there was a fight there, they would die there..."
Choo Sung-hoon had previously stated in November last year on the MBC entertainment program "Heart-Wrenching Lecturers" that "the neighborhood where I lived as a child was one of the unsafe areas in Osaka. Almost all of my neighborhood friends became Yakuza."
