Actor Kang Hoon, who appeared on tvN 'Handsome Guys', is recognized by Kim Dong-hyun as an 'intermittent genius', raising curiosity about the background.
tvN 'Handsome Guys' (directed by Ryu Ho-jin and Yoon In-hye, hereinafter referred to as 'Handsomes') is a cheerful exploration of popular restaurants without dislikes with five pleasant men who search for local hot spots, aimed at modern people caught in an endless menu dilemma. In the 29th episode airing today (26th) at 8:40 p.m., actors Park Joo-hyun and Kang Hoon will guest alongside the 'Handsomes' members for an expedition to recommend lunch and dinner menus in the Namyeong-dong area of Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
In the midst of this, Kang Hoon captures attention as he oscillates between genius and a silly persona, exploding with the charm of a born entertainment character. Having challenged a mukbang for the first time in a while due to weight management from drama, Kang Hoon activates his meerkat mode, catching attention. When the first menu item at the 'Vietnamese noodle hot spot' is presented, Kang Hoon transforms into a curious meerkat, asking, 'Is it okay to eat this?' and, once given permission by his seniors, puts the food in his mouth. At that moment, playful Park Joo-hyun humorously asserts, 'The seniors haven't eaten yet!' As Kang Hoon pauses for a moment of surprise, he logically responds, 'I haven't swallowed it yet. The sauce hasn't been swallowed either,' bringing laughter to those around him.
Additionally, Kang Hoon showcases a dazzling wit as he manipulates Kim Dong-hyun, who is struggling for food. Despite Kim Dong-hyun's plea, 'Please allow me to have a taste,' Kang Hoon draws the line by saying, 'It's a taste I don't want to lose to anyone,' eliciting laughter. When he loses a rock-paper-scissors game against Kim Dong-hyun and has to surrender food, he presents a unique reversal, saying, 'Aren't I supposed to give what I was eating? I don't plan on eating it,' which baffles Kim Dong-hyun. Kim Dong-hyun, who has now become captivated by Kang Hoon's odd charm, mentions, 'Strangely, sometimes he seems clever. He's intermittently clever, isn't he?' revealing a moment of affection.
Meanwhile, on this day, Kang Hoon reveals an unexpected gluttonous side, saying, 'I can eat pork belly infinitely.' He takes over a pork belly restaurant in Namyeong-dong, where he, along with Lee Yi-kyung, Shin Seung-ho, and Park Joo-hyun, showcases a spectacular mukbang by finishing 17 servings of meat together.
Expectations are rising for the main broadcast of 'Handsomes', which anticipates a cheerful culinary expedition featuring intermittent genius Kang Hoon.
