Seol Woon Do Shares Behind-the-Scenes of 'My Love Like Starlight' and Im Young Woong's Praise

The MBN variety show 'GabojaGO (가보자GO)' aired a special episode on November 23, 2024, featuring a unique lineup of guests. This episode of Season 3, Episode 10, included special MCs Kim Seong-kyung and Lucky, along with a notable appearance by National Assembly member Kwon Seong-dong, marking his first foray into entertainment programming.

During the show, Kim Seong-kyung asked Lucky about his interest in politics, to which he replied, "I have a lot of interest, but this is my first time working with a politician, so I’m both nervous and curious." Kim then shared her past experience as a host on a current affairs program, raising anticipation for the guest.

As the conversation unfolded, Kwon Seong-dong made a casual entrance, joking with the MCs about their familiarity with the loud and contentious atmosphere of the National Assembly. When asked about the challenges of revealing his home life, he candidly admitted, "My wife was a bit apprehensive, but I thought it was important to show the natural life of a politician."

The MCs had the opportunity to meet Kwon's wife at their home, where Kim Seong-kyung recounted a conversation with fellow politician Lee Jun-seok, who described Kwon as someone with whom communication flows easily. Kwon expressed gratitude for his wife, noting, "She plays a significant role in my constituency activities, and the public seems to like her more than me."

Kwon also shared insights about his wife's role in keeping him grounded, humorously stating, "She often tells me to quit being a politician if I make mistakes or lose my sincerity. She’s very supportive but also keeps me in check."

The discussion turned to Kwon's past controversies, including the 'Cherry Thumbs Up Incident' and the 'Bikini Controversy.' He recounted how he faced his wife’s displeasure after a news segment aired during a National Assembly session, leading to a humorous exchange about the impact of such articles on their family.

In a surprising twist, singer Seol Woon Do joined the show as the second guest. Known for his love of stones, he revealed a home filled with rocks, much to the MCs' astonishment. He humorously shared that his wife had requested he "please disappear with the stones" due to her nightmares, leading to laughter among the hosts.

During the episode, Maijin, the runner-up from 'King of Mask Singer (현영가왕),' made a surprise appearance, expressing her frustration over not receiving a promised song from Seol Woon Do. He playfully dismissed her expectations, leading to a light-hearted moment.

Seol Woon Do also performed a medley of his hit songs live, stunning the audience with his vocal prowess. While discussing his songwriting journey, he shared a touching story about the song 'My Love Like Starlight (별빛 같은 나의 사랑아),' which he wrote for his wife. He revealed that Im Young Woong, who performed the song, expressed his admiration for the lyrics, particularly the line, 'Now I realize how precious you are to me as time goes by.' Seol Woon Do noted that Im Young Woong said he really liked that part, highlighting the emotional connection behind the song.
