Comedian Kwak Beom recently shared that he has been sober for two years.
On May 11, a new video was uploaded to the channel ‘Zzanhan Hyung Shin Dong-yup’ featuring guests Kwak Beom, Lee Sun-min, Lee Jae-yul, and Kim Dong-ha.
During the episode, Kwak Beom revealed, “I think it’s been nearly two years since I stopped drinking. I don’t really drink anymore,” and opted for a soda instead.
He explained his decision, saying, “Thankfully, I’ve been very busy with work lately, but as I get older, I find it harder to recover from alcohol. It really takes a toll on me the next day, and I have a schedule starting at 8 AM tomorrow.”
This prompted Lee Jae-yul to joke, “It’s great that you’re so busy, but you’re acting all high and mighty while sitting with Shin Dong-yup sunbaenim,” which brought laughter to the group. Shin Dong-yup smiled and told him, “Don’t ever force yourself to drink; just join in for the cheers.”
His colleagues were impressed by his discipline, commenting, “Beom-hyung really has a strong will” and “His conviction is cool.” Shin Dong-yup then jokingly added, “Just try letting me see you drinking somewhere else. If anyone sends me a clip of Beom drinking, I’ll make sure to reward you!”
