[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Actor Lee Ho-cheol had his first meeting with Sandara Park on the show "My Ugly Duckling."


On the afternoon of the 23rd, the SBS variety program "My Ugly Duckling" (hereafter "My Ugly") aired the daily lives of Kim Hee-chul, Sandara Park, and Lee Ho-cheol.


That day, Kim Hee-chul told his two-year-younger brother Lee Ho-cheol, "An important guest is coming today. I invited them with difficulty. They are as cute as your pet dog 'Kkamdori'," giving a hint with 2NE1's song "I Don't Care," sparking curiosity.


Then, as a second hint, Kim Hee-chul said, "Their last name is Park," implying Sandara Park. Lee Ho-cheol, revealing himself as a true fan of Sandara Park, was flustered and laughed, saying, "I haven't even washed my face, what if this suddenly happens?"


Moreover, Lee Ho-cheol, excited about his first meeting with Sandara Park, sprayed perfume and even put on a suit. He also eagerly awaited the doorbell to ring.


Seeing this, Kim Hee-chul joked, "What if Wonhee hyung comes after you went this far?" Hearing this, Lee Ho-cheol responded with a fierce expression, causing laughter.


At that moment, the doorbell rang. Behind the camera stood Sandara Park, whom Lee Ho-cheol had been waiting for so eagerly. Lee Ho-cheol shyly greeted her first.


Sandara Park appeared with her characteristic fresh and lively demeanor, creating a warm atmosphere. Lee Ho-cheol said, "Oh, I'm sweating," clearly at a loss.


Kim Hee-chul said, "I invited her with difficulty," and Sandara Park responded, "I came after hearing about it." Then Kim Hee-chul tried to clarify their ages and called Lee Ho-cheol "the youngest." Lee Ho-cheol said, "Please speak casually, noona," adding, "I'm very popular with the noonas," but Sandara Park laughed, saying, "You keep using honorifics."


Furthermore, Lee Ho-cheol said, "Wow. You know, I really know all the old songs like 'Come Back Home' and so on," continuously mentioning 2NE1's songs.


He even mentioned the drama in which Sandara Park made a cameo appearance, showing his fandom.


He expressed excitement, saying, "I'm more nervous than my first movie shoot," and even got Sandara Park's autograph on his T-shirt. When he took a commemorative photo, Kim Hee-chul marveled, "He’s really happy."


Additionally, Lee Ho-cheol said he had seen Sandara Park at a Chinese restaurant before, and when Kim Hee-chul suggested, "Let's go together, the three of us," Lee Ho-cheol emphasized, "Don't just say it," bringing laughter to those around.



Meanwhile, "My Ugly Duckling" airs every Sunday at 9:05 PM.
