Broadcaster Jung jun-ha has entered another new heyday in 2026 amid busy work and good deeds.
Jung jun-ha has recently been showing standout performances on MBC variety show Hangout With Yoo. He also joined ENA·Kstar·NXT co-produced variety show "Tzuyangmyeotkki" as a food supporter for the Hong Kong episode, and through his YouTube channels Jung jun-haha and Hawasu he actively interacts with viewers, continuing to hunt for laughs in every setting.
Meanwhile, as posts on social media revealed Jung jun-ha's past good deeds late, so-called "good deed exhumations" and "good deed recalls" followed, elevating him as a trending variety star of 2026.
Jung jun-ha's good deed story began in the comments on a past broadcast video of tvN's "Star Lecture Show." An internet user who said they were a family member of a cancer patient Jung jun-ha sponsored said, "We were able to get treatment thanks to the money Jung jun-ha donated. I wanted to thank him in person someday. My parents are still grateful." Another internet user also said, "He sponsored a child of someone we know. The person who connected us at the hospital was Jung jun-ha. We're truly grateful," and a relay of thank-you messages poured in.
Also, stories that Jung jun-ha called a taxi for someone waiting for the first train in the early morning and that he personally attended an end-of-treatment party for a child with cancer were revealed late, creating warm emotion. One internet user added, "All the former nurses at ○○ Hospital know. Jung jun-ha was the only celebrity who didn't bring reporters along."
Now in his 33rd year since debut, Jung jun-ha is a model because of his steady activities and quiet good deeds. As if proving the saying that opportunity comes to the prepared, Jung jun-ha's various good stories and his recently sharpened variety skills on Hangout With Yoo combined to create a new heyday.
On the Hangout With Yoo broadcast on the 9th, Jung jun-ha appeared as a special actor in a short-form drama directed by Yu Jae-seok. As a master of skit acting, he displayed his distinctive nasal voice as well as various cross-dressings and showed one-man-band-level performance. Thanks to Jung jun-ha's passionate acting, the episode "My younger sibling stole my woman and I decided to take her back" has continued to record high view counts and topicality after the broadcast.
Jung jun-ha is also popular online. On his YouTube channel Jung jun-haha he shows delicious mukbangs as the original "SIKSIN," and on Hawasu, his YouTube channel with Park Myung Soo, he evokes nostalgia among Infinite Challenge fans and is releasing varied content aiming for the gold button and beyond.
He will attend "2026 Infinite Challenge Run with Coupang Play" held at the Oil Tank Culture Park on June 7, and he has secured a new regular variety spot with "Tzuyangmyeotkki," which premieres on May 30.
Having left Hangout With Yoo with regret, Jung jun-ha has ironically found renewed success on Hangout With Yoo. From busy work to good deed exhumations, Jung jun-ha's full-fledged activities in 2026 are drawing more anticipation.
