Who knew he has a cousin in the entertainment business to, eh?
추헌엽 (Chu Heon Yeop) is apparently his cousin, the actor who plays as Myung In in KBS2 “미워도 다시 한번” (Hateful but once again). This is the one drama I’ve been skipping all weeks long, but apparently it gets quite high rave, and high ratings for the Wed-Thursday slot. Did anyone happen to think that he and Alex looked alike? o_O To me, I can’t tell until I read this article. Though they both have the similar name, “Chu Heon”
Singer/Actor Alex said that Chu Heon Yeop is his cousin.
Alex (real name Chu Heon Gon) proudly revealed that Chu Heon Yeop is indeed his ‘hyung’. If he seems familiar to us, it’s because he’s currently playing in KBS2 drama “미워도 다시 한번” (Hateful But Once Again/I hate you once again).
Chu Heon Yeop has been playing as the role Myung Jin. As he is a part of the cast, he’s friends with the hero and heroine, Park Ye Jin during the filming. He debuted as an actor in 2005, and also appeared on MBC “Best Theatre” and other MBC short programs.
Alex promised not to use his cousin’s name, saying that “Now that he has his drama, I can have my chance to cheer him up.” Alex, “I’ll definitely support him and his drama… as the Chu family, we’ll strive for the glory of our family… one as a singer, the other as an actor.”
Chu Heon Yeop also said, “Between brothers, and to the Chu family, I’ll try not to put the family to shame… I will work hard to make them proud!”. He also hoped for the suggest of Alex’s new show, SBS “Korea’s Cook”, where Alex is hosting the program himself, and hoped to continue making the drama successful. Because of the strong cast, “Hateful but once again” has been receiving tons of praise from the viewers.
