Actor Jo Jung-seok shared an episode about his 6-year-old daughter, who is deeply into the Netflix animation ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’.

On the 24th, a video titled “Jo Jung-seok Doppelgänger Meeting” was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Cheonggye Mountain Dangi Records’.

In the video, Jo Jung-seok met Professor Yoo Young-myung from the Pediatric and Adolescent Department at Wonju Severance Christian Hospital, who recently gained attention on social media for resembling Jo Jung-seok.

Jo Jung-seok commented to Professor Yoo, “Wearing glasses gives you more of a vibe,” to which Professor Yoo replied, “I get told I look like you more often when I wear glasses.”

Surprised that his friends sent him a video of Professor Yoo, Jo Jung-seok exclaimed, “He really looks a lot like me.”

After visiting a newborn in the hospital following Professor Yoo, Jo Jung-seok shared, “I also have a daughter, so memories of the moment she was born flash through my mind,” adding, “I feel the preciousness of life.”

When Professor Yoo mentioned he has a son and a daughter, Jo Jung-seok said, “I have a 6-year-old daughter who is currently obsessed with ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ and calls me ‘Abby,’” which brought laughter.

To the surprised Professor Yoo, Jo Jung-seok explained, “One of the members of the Lion Boys is named Abby.”

He added that his wife, singer Gummy, is called ‘Toto’ after watching ‘Toto on the Windowsill.’ Jo Jung-seok said, “She talks to me in role play, saying, ‘Did Abby sleep well? I’m getting ready to go to kindergarten. Abby, let’s have fun when I come back later.’”

Meanwhile, Jo Jung-seok married Gummy in 2018 after dating for over five years, having met through mutual friends in 2013. They welcomed their first daughter in 2020 and recently announced they are expecting their second child.
