Episode
Byun Young-ro often drank at a bar called Eunsung. The bar owner was Lee Myung-sook, the mother of Korean actor Choi Bul-am. One day, Choi Bul-am entered university. Byun Young-ro gave Choi Bul-am a glass of rice wine. Before drinking the rice wine, Choi removed the yeast mass by hand, and was slapped by Byun Young-ro. The reason was because he threw away food thoughtlessly.[8]
