Jeong Jun Ha promises to pay college tuition for Coordinator Choi's daughter

Jeong Jun Ha made a generous promise to Choi Jong Hun, also known as "Coordinator Choi," who stood by his side during the "Infinite Challenge" era. When the conversation turned to Choi's daughter approaching college age, Jeong stepped forward without hesitation, offering to cover her tuition. Although many years have passed, the moment revealed Jeong's loyalty to those who struggled alongside him.

On the 26th, a video titled "Chuseok Special: Repaying the Kindness of Coordinator Choi & Manager Jung" was released on the YouTube channel Hawasu. On this day, Park Myeong Su and Jeong Jun Ha visited Manager Jung Seok Gwon, also known as "Manager Jung," and Choi Jong Hun, who had worked with them in the past on "Infinite Challenge." After meeting Coordinator Choi, the two moved to Manager Jung's house, reminiscing about old memories.

Inside the car, when Park Myeong Su asked Coordinator Choi, "How old are your kids?", Choi replied, "A high school senior and a middle school third-year." Upon hearing that he has children approaching college age, Park immediately joked toward Jeong, "Jun Ha, you should support the tuition. You should at least do that much, man."

However, Jeong's reaction was unexpected. Instead of brushing it off as a simple joke, he asked, "How much is the tuition for one semester?" When Park replied, "Around 3 to 4 million won," the conversation turned into a practical promise. Jeong then told Coordinator Choi directly, "When is your daughter going to college? I should at least take care of the tuition." It was a promise so specific that it was difficult to dismiss as mere banter for the camera.

The house of Manager Jung, which the two visited, felt like a small museum of "Infinite Challenge" itself. Items reminiscent of the program's heyday, from "Infinite Challenge Song Festival" albums to "Infinite Challenge" calendars, were scattered throughout. While these may just be traces of past broadcasts to the cast members, for managers and coordinators, they are records that contain their youth and professional lives.

Park also expressed his gratitude by sending cash via bank transfer to Manager Jung, whom he met after a long time. With Jeong's promise of tuition added to the mix, the meeting left a meaning deeper than a simple trip down memory lane. In particular, it drew attention to how the relationships built between cast members and staff, who worked together for years, continue even after a program concludes.

Now that the time since "Infinite Challenge" ended has become longer than the time it was actually broadcast, the scenes of the people who were together back then meeting again become a record in themselves. The relationship between a star and a manager is ultimately formed by people leaning on one another and exchanging help. Jeong's promise to pay the tuition for Coordinator Choi's daughter remains a belated tribute to those who worked alongside him behind the scenes, and a testament to a bond that does not easily break even as time passes.
