Ji Chang-wook exposes manager's atrocities

Actor Ji Chang-wook revealed that he has a special relationship with Manager Bang Bang-gu.

On tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz'), which aired on the 24th, a special feature titled 'The Power of Family' was held. On this day, professor Na Min-ae, daughter of poet Na Tae-ju, coach Lee Jong-beom, and actor Ji Chang-wook appeared.

Yoo Jae-seok said, “The CEO of Ji Chang-wook’s current agency is an alumnus of his school.” Ji Chang-wook said, "I met him in the first year of high school and have been friends for 20 years. He was my manager and then became the CEO of my agency." Yoo Jae-seok praised him, saying, “We are friends, but we saw the distant future.”

Ji Chang-wook said, “My friend always took me home, picked me up, and lent me money when I was having a hard time.” Ji Chang-wook explained, "For various reasons, the managers had to leave the company. I asked a friend who was working part-time in Anyang at the time if he wanted to become a manager. So we started working together."

He said, "It took me three days to think about it. In the end, I told my friend that I needed a driver's license, so I got it and went to work right away."

Ji Chang-wook said, "At first, my friend got lost a lot because of the unfamiliar environment. As we stayed up all night filming, we sometimes fell asleep while driving. When he got sleepy, we told him to sleep at a rest area for safety reasons, so he stopped by every rest area and slept there." He added, 'It took 9 hours to cover a distance that should have taken 3 hours.'

When asked how their relationship was while working, Ji Chang-wook said, "It was intense for about three years. After the schedule was over, we had a fierce fight over the car in the underground parking lot."

Ji Chang-wook said that his friend was unique and made people laugh by saying, "When I get a call from a program like 'Presentence', I turn it down because my guarantee is low."
