In the February 14 episode of MBC’s Omniscient Interfering View, episode 385, new cast member Choi Daniel welcomed actress Choi Kang-hee to his home. The studio panel’s pointed questions about her intentions sparked an emotional response from her.
Unexpected Visitor and Gift Arrival
Choi Kang-hee arrived carrying bags filled with cleaning supplies. The MCs quickly noted her enthusiasm, declaring, “She’s a total Kang-hee specialist.”
Pet Dog’s Selective Affection Raises Eyebrows
Choi Daniel introduced his large pet dog, a breed reminiscent of Choi Kang-hee’s favorites, which he had received in exchange for helping with kimchi preparation. Typically reserved around strangers, the dog wagged its tail vigorously only for her.
Hong Hyun-hee remarked, “Doesn’t it usually ignore newcomers?”
Choi Kang-hee insisted, “It’s real affection; it hasn’t forgotten.” However, a dog trainer in the studio observed, “It recognizes the deep bond from before.”
Studio Debate Intensifies
Panelists countered, “Guarding against strangers is the dog’s natural instinct.” They questioned whether the warm greeting was genuine or staged.
Overwhelmed by the reunion and scrutiny, Choi Kang-hee grew teary-eyed. Choi Daniel, born in 1986, and Choi Kang-hee, born in 1977, share a nine-year age difference.
