Comedian-turned-broadcaster Jung Sung-ho, known for his “5 siblings and a millionaire,” is actively clarifying the recent “overseas immigration rumors.”
MBC‘s “Radio Star” (planned by Kang Young-sun/directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang), scheduled to air on Wednesday the 18th at 10:30 PM, will feature a special on “Four Rich Guys” starring Yeo Kyung-rae, Kim Hyung-mook, Jung Sung-ho, and Lee Geon-ju.
Jung Sung-ho, South Korea’s representative father of many children, is a former MBC comedian who was recruited and actively worked on the “SNL Korea” series. He is a master of impersonations and is called the ‘Faces of a Thousand’, and has recently been receiving a lot of attention for revealing his daily life as a father of many children on various broadcasts.
On this day, he pours out episodes from raising five siblings. He expresses his love and respect for his mother-in-law who suffers every time she gives birth to a child. He also reveals a different ‘allowance amount’ for each child, and he makes everyone laugh by worrying about their reactions after watching the broadcast.
In particular, he raises curiosity by citing ‘lack of sleep’ as the reason for his recent aging at double the speed. He says that he feels like he is losing time and the house is getting more and more noisy as each child is born. He also confides his concerns that his eldest child seems to be going through puberty.
He also mentions the ‘overseas immigration rumors’ that arose due to the large family moving. He explained that the reason for this misunderstanding is that the whole family has to pack 10 bags for a trip. He said that people misunderstand that he is going to ‘immigrate’ because of the many suitcases. He also reveals a funny and sad episode where he has to book a 3-room accommodation for a large number of people, but has a headache over the room assignments.
Jung Sung-ho, a master of voice impressions, shows off his ‘1-second impression’ individual skill of imitating people with just his ‘breathing’. From lawyer Han Moon-chul to actor Lee Seo-jin and singer Jang Ki-ha, his voice impressions of various people made MC Yoo Se-yoon burst into laughter.
