Hyeri questioned the actor, "How long has it been since you last went to a club?"
Jung replied promptly, "I've never been," he replied, shocking both the host and his co-star.
He went on to explain his individual preference. "I think I just never had the time. From my early 20s, I was fully focused on acting. I also don't really enjoy noisy places," Jung elaborated.
Listening to his words, Jo Woo-jin chimed in with his own interpretation.
"It makes sense. You debuted early and were always working. Clubs probably wouldn't have suited you anyway," he said.
The actor's blunt confession tugged at hearts, many perceiving it as a true reflection of his down-to-earth personality.
Jung Kyung-ho has been dating Sooyoung, a member of Girls' Generation, since 2012. The couple's 13-year relationship is one of the longest among Korean celebrities and is frequently cited as an example of trust and stability in society.
According to the entertainment news website KBZoom, Jung's humble attitude towards fame, such as his reluctance to party, has solidified a foundation for his romance with Sooyoung.
Neither Jung nor Sooyoung has released further statements on the interview. Still, the episode quickly spread on social media sites like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), where fans continue to post encouraging messages for the couple.
In other news, AllKpop reported that actor Jung Kyung Ho called Girls' Generation's Sooyoung "the center of [his] life," touching fans worldwide and highlighting their 12-year relationship.
He shared that his passion for acting is deeply tied to her, saying he wants to be a better person and actor for her.
The emotional remarks quickly went viral, earning praise from fans who admire the couple's strong bond. Both stars are set to appear in upcoming K-dramas: Jung in Oh My Ghost Clients (MBC, May 30) and Sooyoung in Second Shot At Love (tvN, May 12).
