On the upcoming episode of MBC’s ‘I Live Alone’ airing at 11:10 PM on the 13th, Koo Sung-hwan is seen preparing for a high school reunion gathering. He starts moving busily in the kitchen from early in the morning, preparing a cake in his own unique way ahead of the 30th-anniversary reunion. Instead of an oven, he decides to make a ‘Koo Sung-hwan style chocolate brownie’ using a rice cooker.
Reflecting on his past, Koo Sung-hwan recalls that standing at 183cm and 78kg made him one of the ‘Top 4’ figures at school, receiving a flood of chocolates and love letters during Valentine’s Day. To prove the enduring appeal of his prime ‘Top 4’ days, he focuses intensely on his appearance management.
Koo Sung-hwan sits in front of the mirror, doing facial gua sha while chanting, “Get smaller! Get smaller!” and carefully selecting his reunion outfit.
