On the SBS variety show "My Genie Secretary" airing on Friday, October 23 at 11:10 PM, "Son Suk-ku's Liberation Notes" will unfold, featuring stories from his military deployment to Iraq to the behind-the-scenes journey of his late debut.
On this day, Son Suk-ku surprised everyone on set by sharing funny yet bittersweet anecdotes of experiencing the South Korean military after being accustomed to American culture, along with the daring story of how he secretly volunteered to be deployed to Iraq without his parents' knowledge.
Son Suk-ku went on to recall the time he contemplated retirement after debuting at the relatively late age of 35, sharing, "I was going to quit acting." He revealed that just as he was about to give up on acting, he encountered a pivotal project and a mentor who turned his life around, raising curiosity over who the benefactor was that rescued him from the brink of retirement.
Meanwhile, having liberated himself from his busy schedule, Son Suk-ku visited an arcade with the "My Genie Secretary" cast, unleashing his hidden competitive drive. He overwhelmed the scene with shooting skills honed during his deployment to Iraq as well as impressive basketball skills, and it is said that Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu forgot about competing altogether, repeatedly expressing awe and shifting into full "worship mode" for Son Suk-ku.
Son Suk-ku's diverse charms and turbulent life story will be revealed today on Friday, October 23 at 11:10 PM on "My Genie Secretary."
