Choo Sarang Freezes Up Meeting Jung Hae-in — Even Her Dad Choo Sung-hoon Was Surprised

In the upcoming episode of ENA’s reality show My Child’s Private Life (Episode 16), airing on April 13, viewers will witness a heartwarming and hilarious moment as Choo Sarang meets none other than actor Jung Hae-in.

The episode follows Sarang and her friend Yuto — the beloved "Love You" duo — as they travel to Korea for a photoshoot. This marks their second independent trip, and from the moment they arrive at the airport, unexpected adventures begin.

Showing off skills honed from a previous trip to Hong Kong, the kids confidently check in for their flight and handle their luggage without a hitch. While waiting to board, Yuto surprises everyone by pulling out a study workbook — proving he's serious about his dream of becoming a doctor, even in his downtime.

But the biggest surprise comes when global star Jung Hae-in happens to walk past the kids. Sarang, a longtime fan of the actor, is visibly starstruck — so much so that she nervously shuffles her feet, too shy to approach him. Eventually, she asks Yuto for help to talk to him. Jung Hae-in recognizes them and quickly catches on that filming is underway for My Child’s Private Life.

Choo Sarang can't hide her shyness, prompting her father, Choo Sung-hoon, to remark, “I’ve never seen Sarang like this before,” drawing laughter from the studio. Following the encounter, the children’s reaction to meeting Jung Hae-in reportedly leaves the entire studio in stitches.

Meanwhile, after arriving in Korea, a more serious moment unfolds: Sarang discovers that a money envelope from her suitcase has gone missing. In a panic, Yuto turns to the production staff for help. As the situation escalates, viewers are left wondering — where did the money go, and will the kids be able to retrieve it and continue their journey?
