Choi Hong-man reveals his girlfriend who is 10 years younger than him and looks like Han Ye Seul? = ”Omniscient”

The man who miniaturises everything, including aeroplanes – 217cm Jeju resident Choi Hong-man – returns to 'Omniscient Interfering View'.

Episode 373 of MBC's variety programme 'Omniscient Interfering View', airing on the 15th, will feature Choi Hong-man's birthday party and reveal the identity of his 'Samnyeo' (a woman who is more than a friend but less than a lover) for the first time.

This episode unfolds the eve of Choi Hong-man's birthday celebrations. Having finished his schedule in Seoul, Choi immediately boards a flight to Jeju. Seated in business class, he amazes everyone by demonstrating his signature "giant's tale" – opening and closing the overhead luggage compartment door with one hand. Subsequently, situations unfolded where even the oversized aircraft seemed to struggle with him – he requested an extension for his seatbelt as it was too short, and his head nearly touched the ceiling. The studio erupted in laughter. Choi Hong-man confessed, "When I flew on a small plane, staff made me sit in the centre to balance the weight," and "They told me absolutely not to stand up, so I even held off going to the toilet," conveying the "tragedy of being large".

Upon arriving in Jeju, Choi Hong-man enjoyed a birthday dinner with acquaintances at his regular restaurant. A lavish menu featuring a metre-long grilled hairtail, fresh sea urchin, and grilled abalone is set to make viewers' mouths water. During the meal, the topic of "Samnyo" – which became a talking point after his previous appearance on "Omniscient Interfering View" – resurfaced. When asked, "Is Samnyo really there?", Choi Hong-man attempted to call her directly, drawing everyone's attention. Rumour has it that when he greeted her with the affectionate nickname "Dongk", the scene instantly turned pink. His love story with his girlfriend, ten years his junior and resembling actress Han Ye-seul, can be confirmed through the broadcast.

Choi Hong-man also shared memories of his childhood with his mother, who was an ama diver. "As depicted in the drama 'Good Day', I grew up eating things my mother caught herself," he smiled. He confessed, "When I heard my mother was critically ill with breast cancer, I rushed back to Jeju, but she passed away leaving only her last words." "I ended up returning to Jeju, where my mother is," he said, adding, "Now, Jeju is where I feel most at ease." His heartfelt story is expected to leave a deep resonance.

The episode of 'Omniscient Interfering View' airs on the 15th at 11:10pm.
