Choi Myung-gil discusses inner values during meeting with younger man

Actress Choi Myung-gil met with freelancer Hyun Jun-ham, who is 30 years her junior, in a video for 'Durian's Affair' where they discussed prioritizing intrinsic human value over man-made conditions.

Moving away from the typical social grammar of weighing conditions and backgrounds, a conversation focused on the intrinsic value of people took place. A highlight video for 'Durian's Affair' released by TVCHOSUN JOY depicts a meeting between actress Choi Myung-gil and Hyun Jun-ham, a man 30 years her junior.

"Conditions are man-made"... Common ground found in values

Meeting at a restaurant, the two shared their lives and values over a meal. Hyun Jun-ham revealed his life as a freelancer and asked about the peaks of life. In response, Choi Myung-gil cited the moments she held her three sons and when she viewed the aurora in Iceland to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary as the peaks of her life.

The conversation naturally transitioned into a discussion about the conditions of a relationship. Regarding the common practice of identifying a partner's conditions, Choi Myung-gil stated, "Deciding whether to continue a relationship based on conditions is a sign of lacking inner strength," adding that conditions are merely things created by humans. Comparing it to the way animals react to one another without conditions, Hyun Jun-ham expressed sympathy toward this mindset of not being swayed by conditions, finding common ground in the conversation.

"Making me feel regretful"... Boldness and composure spanning a 30-year age gap

Hyun Jun-ham led the conversation with a fearless attitude that made the 30-year age difference seem insignificant. After the meal, he made a suggestion to walk nearby, saying, "I suddenly have a modest wish." While Choi Myung-gil responded jokingly, saying, "You keep making me feel regretful," she showed comfort with the consideration and humor offered by Hyun Jun-ham.

Hyun Jun-ham showed manners by telling Choi Myung-gil, who attempted to pay for the meal, "Since I invited you, it is right that I pay." In the following conversation, he showed a direct approach by asking, "Won't you walk with me today?" to which Choi Myung-gil responded to his proactive attitude by saying, "I feel like I've returned to my twenties."

Work, success, and remaining questions

The conversation between the two expanded to their attitudes toward life. Choi Myung-gil expressed her desire to continue working as long as the world needs her abilities, mentioning aspects of a life where marriage or other things had to be sacrificed for success. Her remark that "having one or two out of wealth, fame, and health is not easy" conveyed the weight of life calmly.

Hyun Jun-ham's proactive suggestion led to imaginations of going even further beyond a walk. Their conversation went beyond a simple meeting, simultaneously showing a strange tension and excitement arising from the point where their values met.
