So we said, \u2018If we\u2019re going to do it alone, why not just do it together?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe timing worked out when In Sung\u2019s contract ended, and that\u2019s when the discussions became serious. In Sung actually came up with the company name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Jang Do Yeon asked if they had a CEO\u2019s office, Cha laughed and said, \u201cWe don\u2019t have an office yet\u2014we\u2019re using a shared workspace. I\u2019ll let you know when we find a proper place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later in the episode, Lee Joon expressed his embarrassment about playing a student in a school uniform at age 38. Jang Do Yeon turned to Cha Tae Hyun, joking, \u201cIsn\u2019t the senior of school uniforms sitting right here? Probably the oldest actor in Korea\u2014or even the world\u2014to wear a school uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cha laughed and recalled his experience filming the Disney+ series <strong>&#8216;Moving&#8217;<\/strong> at age 47: \u201cI thought I was going to die. I couldn\u2019t believe it. I assumed they\u2019d cast a child actor for the role. Everyone else\u2019s part was played by a younger actor, but then they suddenly started fitting me for a wig and told me I\u2019d be playing a high schooler.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThey said they\u2019d touch up my face with CG, but when I got to the set, the kids next to me were actual high schoolers. I looked like their parent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his eldest son\u2019s reaction, Cha replied, \u201cSoo Chan doesn\u2019t talk to us much. I don\u2019t even know if he watched it.\u201d \u2014 drawing laughter from the cast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px!important;font-weight:bold!important;\">SEE ALSO: <a class=\"see_also\" style=\"font-size:16px;\" data-link=\"\/\/www.allkpop.com\/article\/2025\/05\/son-suk-ku-says-hes-worried-because-he-has-to-shed-10kg-22lbs-for-his-next-role\" data-from-idx=\"329565\" data-to-idx=\"\" target=\"\">Son Suk Ku says he&#8217;s worried because he has to shed 10kg (22lbs) for his next role<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the May 27th KST episode of the YouTube talk show &#8216;Salon Drip 2&#8217;, Cha Tae Hyun, Kim&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[39608,4080,19153,77,60332,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-138459","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-allkpop","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-cha-tae-hyun","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-jo-in-sung","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114585137169517091","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
