'You Quiz on the Block' Heo Kyunghwan revealed the behind-the-scenes story of how he passed the KBS 22nd open recruitment for comedians on his first try.
On the 31st broadcast, the tvN entertainment show 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereafter 'You Quiz') featured comedian Heo Kyunghwan, who marked his 19th anniversary since debut.
That day Heo Kyunghwan recalled, "There were about three events a week. I told my MC friends in Busan to go to Seoul and audition, but they said, 'There are so many great people in Seoul, it won't work.' So I said I'd try on my own and searched the internet."
He continued, "While searching Seoul auditions, something like a drama scene came up: 'Talkking 18+' with Shin Dong-yeob." Yu Jae-seok explained, "It was when I was doing 'X-Man.' Dong-yeob hyung was a newcomer and asked us to watch because he was preparing for a comedian exam. Hyung Ho-dong and I watched."
Heo Kyunghwan said that, at Shin Dong-yeob's suggestion, he prepared for the comedian exam together with Jang Doyoun, who had appeared with them. He recalled, "I wondered if I could get into 'Gag Concert' while I was with senior Jae-seok and Hyung Kim Jang Hoon. 'The X-Man main producer was also there. Would this comedy work?'"
He added, "After everything, senior Jae-seok said, 'Even if you fail, I hope you'll try again,' and I agreed. Because of his words, I took the audition very comfortably." Maybe because he had let go of his worries, Heo Kyunghwan said he passed the KBS 22nd open recruitment for comedians on his first try.
