On the December 8 episode of SBS's My Little Old Boy, Chun Jung Myung opened up about his five-year hiatus and shared surprising details about his wealthy background, confirming long-standing rumors.

The episode featured Kim Heechul and Lee Sang Min visiting Chun Jung Myung to surprise him with a birthday celebration. While chatting, the actor reminisced about how he first met Kim Heechul.

Chun Jung Myung shared, “I met Heechul through JYP’s Jinyoung hyung. After finishing my military service, I wanted to have some fun before starting a new project. I went to a club, where I met Jinyoung hyung."

He added, "At the time, 2PM’s Taecyeon was under his agency, and through Taecyeon, we became acquaintances. Jinyoung hyung even got me hooked on clubs back then”, he said, laughing.

When asked if he dances at clubs, Kim Heechul teased, “Jung Myung hyung stays quiet at clubs”.

I even learned a specific dance style”, before hilariously showing off his moves, making everyone laugh.

The conversation then turned to his financial situation during his five-year break. Chun Jung Myung revealed, “I lived off savings from when I was younger. I’ve always been good at saving.

Lee Sang Min brought up Chun Jung Myung’s father, saying, “Your father is the CEO of a highly successful textile company.” Chun Jung Myung responded, “Yes, but my father has no plans to pass the business to me. I believe in paving my own way in a different field, and my father thinks the same.”

Kim Heechul jokingly added, “Then hand it over to me!” which brought a round of laughter, wrapping up the lighthearted conversation.

Fans were thrilled to learn more about Chun Jung Myung’s life and his funny stories, making the episode a must-watch!
