It‘s the rebellion of the ‘Mr. Ajo.

Choo Sung-hoon, a broadcaster who started out as a MMA fighter, is in his ‘Nth heyday. He garnered attention through KBS 2TV’s ‘The Return of Superman’ and Netflix‘s ‘Physical 100’ in 2013 with his daughter Choo Sarang, and he has become the center of attention once again with his recently opened YouTube channel.

He didn’t stop there and is continuing his momentum by challenging himself as a trot singer and even appearing on a talk show under his own name.

Choo Sung-hoon opened the YouTube channel ‘Mr. Ajo‘s Rest of Life’ in November of last year and is now known as the ‘Funniest Ajo.’

As a fourth-generation Korean resident in Japan, he bursts out laughing just by speaking softly with his somewhat awkward speech, and his unique quirky yet friendly charm adds to the unpredictable fun.

He even got scolded by his wife, Shiho Yano, for revealing her room without her consent or permission, and he has been getting responses that he is cute for his age, as he eats so much that he ‘robs convenience stores and restaurants.

The videos that have been released so far show his ‘raw’ life in Japan, making him even more likable. Videos such as ‘Chuseong Hoon living in a rented room at Yano Shiho’s house’, ‘Channel major shareholder Yano Shiho appears’, ‘Japanese convenience store mukbang’ have a basic view count of 3 million, and some have easily surpassed 5 to 8 million.

In particular, the YouTube channel gained 1.23 million subscribers in just 3 months since its opening, and it seems that people are falling for Chuseong Hoon‘s charms day by day.

Chuseong Hoon will also reveal himself challenging himself as a trot singer starting on the 21st. He will show off his usual extraordinary singing skills on the new tvN STORY entertainment program ‘Handsome Trot’.

Chuseong Hoon’s charms will be fully revealed in the new Netflix entertainment program ‘Chulai Chulai’, which will be released on the 26th. ‘Churai Churai’ is a talk show where Choo Sung Hoon explores guests in his own style, so much so that people are saying ‘He‘s really open-mouthed’ these days.

Choo Sung Hoon invites popular figures to the show and experiences bucket list items he’s always wanted to try together.
