Cho Jung-seok Confesses to Close Call Wardrobe Malfunction on Musical Stage

Actor Cho Jung-seok cracked up the studio by sharing behind-the-scenes stories of a nerve-wracking exposure accident he experienced on a musical stage.

In the 3rd episode of the SBS entertainment program "Master Hang-jun," airing at 10:20 p.m. on Thursday, October 29, actor Cho Jung-seok will appear as a guest. "Master Hang-jun" is an engaging talk show featuring a concept where Jang Hang-jun holds auditions to cast top actors for his autobiographical film.

During a recent recording, Cho recalled his past performances in the musical "Grease" and confessed to a harrowing moment, saying, "I made an even bigger mistake than accidentally wetting my pants." Having played the role of Roger, a master of "butt-flashing" in the play, he drew attention by skillfully demonstrating on the spot, explaining, "It has to drop sharply all at once to have an impact."

Cho then recounted that during an actual performance, carried away by excessive enthusiasm, his pants slipped all the way down to his thighs, adding, "My fellow actors were more worried than surprised, going, 'Oh no, what do we do?'" However, he drew laughter by proving his unique confidence in his backside, saying, "The audience's reaction was intensely enthusiastic. I gained a lot of fans back then."

It is rumored that director Jang Hang-jun expressed satisfaction with Cho's passionate dedication—even not hesitating to demonstrate the rear-end exposure acting—and showed a strong desire to cast him in his autobiographical film, remarking, "The more I get to know Cho Jung-seok, the more I want to work with him."

Cho Jung-seok's wide-ranging appeal, from heart-stopping dark history on stage to his slick wits, will be revealed on "Master Hang-jun," airing at 10:20 p.m. on Thursday, October 29.
