[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Former football player Song Jong-guk appeared flustered by comedian Shim Hyung-rae's mention of remarriage.

On the 3rd, TV Chosun's entertainment program 'Star Docu My Way' featured Song Jong-guk's daily life.

In the broadcast, Song Jong-guk had a meal with Shim Hyung-rae, introduced by junior Lee Cheon-su.

Recently transformed into a daechang (beef large intestine) restaurant owner, Shim Hyung-rae grilled the daechang he brought himself and enjoyed lively conversation with the group.

As the meal progressed and the atmosphere warmed up, Shim Hyung-rae revealed that he is planning his next movie and proposed Song Jong-guk to appear in it.

When Shim Hyung-rae specifically explained that there would be a scene where he is pricked with a needle in the next work, Song Jong-guk replied, "I think it's better not to do the movie." On the other hand, Lee Cheon-su, who was beside him, showed eagerness to appear in the movie, saying, "It seems okay," which brought laughter.

At that moment, unaware of Song Jong-guk's divorce news, Shim Hyung-rae said, "Bring your wife here sometime later." Song Jong-guk, caught off guard, answered, "Okay," then quickly added, "I don't have a wife."

Then Shim Hyung-rae said, "Then come again with someone else. I live alone too," and asked, "Did you remarry?" Song Jong-guk replied, "No. I am not planning to."

Hearing this, Lee Cheon-su explained the reason for introducing Shim Hyung-rae, saying, "He is someone Song Jong-guk needs," and expressed affection toward Song Jong-guk, saying, "Meeting and parting makes you think more, so I hope he returns to the lively Song Jong-guk of the past."

In response, Song Jong-guk said, "I wanted to meet him once in my life. This is the day I laughed the most recently," and Shim Hyung-rae advised, "I also had great difficulties, but you must not be discouraged. With the spirit of trying again after failure, keep challenging and think positively."

Earlier, Song Jong-guk revealed his life as a naturalist living deep in the mountains of Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, through MBN's 'Exclusive World.'

At that time, Song Jong-guk caused a big sensation by suddenly disappearing and showing his recent status of digging medicinal herbs and doing delivery work halfway up the deep mountains of Hongcheon.
