According to Newsis, singer Jeon Young Rok will share a story about being unfairly subjected to a drug test on episode 33 of MBN's 'Kim Joo-ha's Day & Night,' which airs on the 11th. The report said Jeon Young Rok and Hyeeunyee will appear on the program.

Newsis said Jeon Young Rok will talk about the 1985 film 'Crazy Boy.' The report said he wrote the synopsis while serving in the military, took part in writing the screenplay and also starred in the film. The film drew attention as a Chungmuro action title and was produced up to 3 installments.

According to the report, Jeon Young Rok, a ranked practitioner of Praying Mantis kung fu, will say that he performed the action scenes himself. He says, 'The director suggested using a stuntman, but I said I would do it.' He adds, 'There was no stuntman my height, so I did it myself.'

Newsis reported that Jeon Young Rok will also discuss how perceptions of him changed after 'Crazy Boy.' He says Yoo Hyun Sang suggested after the film that he should 'try heavy metal with Baekdoosan,' and the report said Jeon Young Rok mentions his style change at the time.

Jeon Young Rok recalls, according to the report, 'I wore ripped jeans and had my hair like a skinhead.' He then says, 'I ended up being taken in and came back,' and adds, 'After the film Crazy Boy, it seems whatever I did was viewed negatively,' while describing the drug test he says he unfairly underwent.
