The SBS variety show 'Master Hang-jun' will air on Thursday, October 29, at 10:20 PM.

On the upcoming broadcast of SBS variety show 'Master Hang-jun', actor Cho Jung-seok will reveal the behind-the-scenes story of his appearance in 'My Daughter Is a Zombie'.

'Master Hang-jun' (directed by Lee Dong-won and Gam Yu-min, written by Kim Myeong-jeong, and co-produced by Content Lab VIVO) is a cinematic talk show featuring secret auditions where director Jang Hang-jun attempts to cast top actors for his autobiographical film 'Master Hang-jun', providing witty talk between the director and various stars.

The episode airing this Thursday, the 29th, is drawing attention as Cho Jung-seok is set to appear as a guest, showcasing his wit and acting skills.

Cho Jung-seok caught interest by stating, “My appearance in the movie 'My Daughter Is a Zombie' is thanks to Gummy,” revealing that his wife's recommendation led to his decision to join the cast. In response, Jang Hang-jun joined the competition of "wife luck," noting, “When I was offered the chance to direct 'Wang Sa Nam', I did it because writer Kim Eun-hee told me to do it.” This revealed an unexpected "wife luck parallel theory," where the ballad master Gummy stands behind Cho Jung-seok's success, while thriller master Kim Eun-hee stands behind Jang Hang-jun's.

Additionally, Cho Jung-seok shared glimpses of his life as a devoted father, stating, “My eldest daughter is the spitting image of me, and my second daughter looks even more like me.” He brought laughter by revealing that he utilizes his reliable acting skills for his daughter's princess play. He expressed pride in saying, “I specialize in the role of the prince during princess play,” before adding that "Gummy plays the role of the watch," revealing how his wife contributes her talents to the play.

Specifically, Cho Jung-seok explained, “When Gummy makes a 'ding-ding' sound, my daughter acts by saying, 'Oh no, Prince, I have to go.'” He further revealed his improvised acting to increase his daughter's satisfaction, saying, "I quickly grab her wrist and say, 'Wait, it's 11:30. Don't go yet,'" which his daughter loves. He also caused laughter by revealing, “I have been banned from playing monster roles because my acting is too realistic.”

The sweet episodes with his wife Gummy and his happy daily life with his two daughters, who look just like him, can be seen on 'Master Hang-jun'.

Meanwhile, the third episode of the SBS cinematic talk variety show 'Master Hang-jun' will air on Thursday (the 29th) at 10:20 PM.
