Kim Ho-joong "Mistaken for Ryu Hyun-jin, asked for autograph... explained for 5 minutes"
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Kim Ho-joong shared an anecdote about being mistaken for Ryu Hyun-jin and even signing an autograph.
On the 16th, JTBC's 'Knowing Bros' featured the 'Mr. Trot' TOP7 contestants Lim Young-woong, Young Tak, Lee Chan-won, Kim Ho-joong, Jung Dong-won, Jang Min-ho, and Kim Hee-jae as guests.
During the broadcast, Kim Ho-joong recounted an incident with a passerby he met at the airport.
He began, "A woman came up to me at the airport and said, 'My son is a big fan,' and asked for an autograph."
He continued, "I wondered, 'How does she know me?' but I signed anyway. When I was about to write 'From Kim Ho-joong' under the autograph, I wrote 'Kim,' and she said, 'Are you Kim? I thought you were Ryu,'" recalling the moment.
Kim Ho-joong emphasized, "She mistook me for player Ryu Hyun-jin and asked for an autograph."
He added, "I explained about myself for five minutes. I talked about the movie 'Papa Roach' and even showed her my videos on YouTube. Maybe because of my sincerity, she took the autograph with her," which brought laughter.
