It is testament to Hong Seok-cheon's increasing popularity that Kakao has released a new game featuring the TV personality / restauranteur. When playing "Heart Throb Restaurant" (kind of...), keep in mind that Hong Seok-cheon ended up opening restaurants in Itaewon to survive a period of time when Korea had completely turned its back on him due to his decision to come out.


The video of him making emoticons for the game is pretty adorable.
