“Secha JANG” provided delightful laughter until the end.
On the broadcast of the KBS2 entertainment program “Secha JANG” on the 17th, MCs Jang Min-ho and Jang Seong-kyu, along with part-timer Jeong Hyeok, met with Hong Jin-ho, Leo Lanta, and Jeong Dong-won to share stories.
From the outset, Hong Jin-ho displayed the confidence of a “poker champion.” He noted, “I made it to the finals many times during my professional gaming days, but I always ended up in second place, earning the nickname ‘perennial second.’ After transitioning to a poker player, I have won many tournaments,” he said, showcasing his confidence by adding, “Lim Yo-han and Jang Dong-min are not as good at poker as I am.”
Hong Jin-ho revealed an anecdote about experiencing racism while participating in a poker tournament. He mentioned that it’s not uncommon for finalists to share their prize money. After advancing to the finals of a poker tournament in 2022, he received a proposal to split the winnings. However, one of the finalists told Hong Jin-ho to accept a smaller amount because he was Asian. In response, Hong Jin-ho declined the negotiation and proudly went on to win, impressing everyone.
Finnish travel YouTuber Leo Lanta shared his story of returning to his home country for further education. Leo Lanta, who moved to Korea at 100 days old and speaks Korean as his first language, stated, “My parents sent me back to Finland to learn Finnish because I only spoke Korean.” He added, “I went back to Finland around the time I graduated from elementary school to learn Finnish.”
