[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] 'Trotbaroti' Kim Ho-joong showcased his endearing charm with an extraordinary appetite.


On the MBC show "The Manager's View" aired on the 20th, the manager started the day by waking up Kim Ho-joong. Seeing Kim Ho-joong wake up with a messy hairdo and a puffy face, he asked, "Why is your face so swollen?" To this, Kim Ho-joong joked, "It's not swollen; I was accumulating virtue while sleeping. Even just breathing air makes me like this."


The manager explained while watching Kim Ho-joong fall back asleep on the sofa, "It's not that he sleeps a lot, but because of his irregular lifestyle, it takes him a long time to fully wake up."


Afterward, Kim Ho-joong's morning began with a 9-course meal. He diligently ate kimchi and side dishes sent by fans from all over the country. His breakfast side dishes included japchae, stir-fried duck, pollock roe, soy sauce marinated crab, and more.


Additionally, Kim Ho-joong showed off his unique knowledge by saying, "For jjajang ramen, I eat it with fresh kimchi; for samgyeopsal, with aged kimchi; for kalguksu, with godeulppaegi; and when I just have rice with water, I dip stir-fried dried shredded squid in gochujang, which tastes great."


Kim Ho-joong's appetite continued. The manager seated Kim Ho-joong in the front passenger seat instead of the back of the car. The reason was because of the snack box in the back.


The manager said, "Ho-joong can't stand hunger well. He’s always looking around for something, searching for candy or chocolate," adding, "Fans mostly oppose dieting. They say that since Ho-joong is so adorable and lovely, he shouldn't feel discouraged, so they generously take care of him."



The manager prepared and handed Kim Ho-joong a swelling-reducing green tea and lemonade drink, which idols are said to drink. Kim Ho-joong gulped down the tea in one go. The MCs admired, "Thanks to the manager, it seems like he’s maintaining his current condition."
