During the February 4 episode of SBS’ My Little Old Boy, Ahn Bo Hyun graced the show as a special guest MC. During his appearance, the actor shared a touching revelation about his grandmother being the motivation behind his preference for appearing in dramas that air on television rather than exclusively on online streaming platforms. The actor humorously shared that if he were to star in an OTT (over-the-top) drama and not appear on television for a year, his grandma would think he was starving to death, leading her to worry and even offer to send him food. 

Ahn Bo Hyun continued to share that his grandmother often believed that what she saw on television was real. He recounted an incident when she called him while watching a scene where his character got into a car accident, expressing concern as if the drama were a live broadcast. Additionally, when Ahn Bo Hyun played a villain in Itaewon Class, there was a scene where his character's father hit him, which deeply affected his grandmother, making her heart ache for him.

The actor then mentioned his successful drama Yumi’s Cells, where he and Kim Go Eun portrayed a couple. He shared that his grandmother had never seen that side of him before. After witnessing his love scenes with Kim Go Eun for the first time, she became shy and told him, "That girl seemed really nice." It dawned on him that his grandma thought the on-screen romance was real.
