In the March 4 broadcast of Radio star on MBC, Jo Hyun Ah appeared as a guest alongside Oh Seung-hwan, Lee Cheol-min and Yang Sang-guk. During the episode, Jo Hyun Ah caught viewers’ attention as she talked about her friendships in the entertainment industry.
She mentioned for the first time several celebrities she is close with, including Nana, Lee Sung-kyung, and PO. Boasting about his “golden net,” Jo Hyun Ah jokingly said, “People might think that I’m the one who buys them nice things, takes care of them and even sings for them, but in reality they were my fans before.” His humorous confession sparked laughter in the studio.
However, the moment that particularly caught attention was when he talked about his deep connection with Suzy. Jo Hyun Ah recalled the time her mother passed away and expressed sincere gratitude for Suzy’s support during that difficult time.
“Suzy is truly a kind-hearted friend,” Jo Hyun Ah said. “If he can’t reach me, he’ll even come to my house just to check if I’m there, he’ll probably check my toes if he has to.” His comment surprised everyone.
He then shared a more emotional story. “My mother collapsed and that’s when we discovered her illness. In the end we had to organize a funeral,” he explained. “Suzy was in the funeral parlor all three days.” According to Jo Hyun Ah, many visitors recognized the actress during the funeral, but Suzy silently remained by her side the entire time.
“She even came with me to the burial site and prayed for my mother,” Jo Hyun Ah continued. “Thanks to her, the pain of losing my mother was greatly comforted.” Her story revealed a touching side of Suzy’s character that moved both the studio and viewers.
Jo Hyun Ah concluded by saying that this was the story she really wanted to share publicly. “Rather than just say ‘I’m close to Suzy,’ I wanted to talk about that,” he said. “Suzy is like a guardian angel to me.”
