Recently, a video titled "Noh Hongchul, the First Celebrity to Be Assigned VIP Security" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Noh Hongchul.' The video documents the moment when Noh Hongchul was appointed as an honorary security officer for the Presidential Security Service during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit last year and was deployed on site.

In the video, Noh Hongchul is seen looking around the conference venue when he encounters Chairman Chung. Chairman Chung greets him first, asking, "How have you been?" and then inquires, "Where are you sitting?" Noh Hongchul replies, "I'm with the security service today, so I'm moving around." When Chairman Chung encourages him by saying, "You're doing well," Noh Hongchul responds, "Fighting, hyung," and after exchanging a fist bump, moves on to another spot.
