Actor Jang Hyuk appears as a guest on tvN's Handsome Guys and experiences an extreme shortage situation called "seizure of privacy," plunging into unexpected mental confusion.
tvN's Handsome Guys (directed by Ryu Ho-jin, Yoon In-hoe, Lee Seung-hwan/hereafter "Handsomez") is a reality variety program that depicts the struggles that unfold when five men, who had everything perfect, unexpectedly face a "lacking" environment. The raw laughter and the members' well-developed chemistry that emerge in situations of "shortage" explode in synergy, adding to the show's growing word-of-mouth buzz day by day.
In episode 45 of Handsomez, airing today (Oct. 16), the members will put aside individualism and, to boost teamwork, pair up in twos, bind their arms together and accompany each other full-time in a "privacy shortage" lifestyle. This sets the stage for the Handsomez members' most epic bromance yet.
Meanwhile, Jang Hyuk, a close friend of the eldest Cha Tae-hyun, appears as a guest on Handsomez and further ignites the group's blossoming bromance through the "privacy shortage lifestyle." Jang Hyuk, who suddenly appears at the Handsomez camping site and surprises the members, is bound by one arm and has his privacy seized, drawing laughter when the production team declares, "From now on, Mr. Jang Hyuk will also join the shortage lifestyle."
Along with this, Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, Lee Yi-kyung, Shin Seung-ho, Oh Sang-wook and guest Jang Hyuk get the chance to swap full-time partner pairings through a "transfer partner" opportunity. To change partners, members take turns stepping forward to promote themselves. At the scene, where a strange tension hangs in the air, Oh Sang-wook jokes, "This feels a little like a dating show," drawing laughter. First up to make his pitch, Jang Hyuk spares no effort to showcase his charm in search of a new partner, capturing attention. He says, "I use my head well and my body well. If we wear handcuffs together, I'll be of great help," revealing his history as a high school gymnastics athlete and even performing a "thumb push-up," shaking the Hearts of the Handsomez members.
Meanwhile, that day Jang Hyuk and Cha Tae-hyun find not only their hands but also their feet tightly bound, raising curiosity about the reason. The two, bound as if they were major criminals, lament the bitter reality, saying, "We were once youth stars," and "The two of us once starred in a miniseries that recorded ratings up to 40%," erupting in indignation and turning the surroundings into a sea of laughter.
From being the formidable "transfer partner" to becoming "major criminals," guest Jang Hyuk's wide-ranging performances are expected to deliver varied laughs, raising anticipation for the Handsomez broadcast.
tvN's Handsomez airs every Thursday at 8:40 p.m., and episode 45 airs today (Oct. 16).<
