Jang Hang-jun, the director who achieved 16 million ticket sales with 'King of the Land,' turned into 'Scared Hang-jun' in front of the unstoppable Lee Hyori.
On KBS' Happy Together: glad I'm not alone, Jang Hang-jun activated his 'timid Hang-jun' in front of Lee Hyori, drawing attention to the reason.
Meanwhile, in the second episode of Happy Together airing on the 17th at 8:30 p.m., Jang Hang-jun reveals the story of sending an SOS to Yoon Jongshin over the recording enthusiasm of first special MC Lee Hyori, attracting attention. Jang Hang-jun met Lee Hyori for the first time through Happy Together. In the first episode, Lee Hyori joked, "I am meeting the director for the first time, so I am observing etiquette," while Jang Hang-jun responded, "Now I understand why Jaeseok and Jongshin are afraid of Hyori," provoking laughter.
In related remarks, in episode 2 Jang Hang-jun confessed, "Actually, I secretly wrote a note to Jongshin during the recording," surprising everyone. Jang Hang-jun said, "I wanted to take a short break during the recording, but Hyori kept saying to continue. So I wrote to Jongshin, 'Please tell her to let us rest just once,'" revealing an unexpected side of his 'timid Hang-jun' and causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Jang Hang-jun and Yoon Jongshin raised interest by recounting an anecdote about missing a future superstar while judging auditions in the past. Yoon Jongshin confessed, "I was the one who eliminated Bolbbalgan4 and Jannabi during the 'Superstar K' judging," revealing a record of missing music stars and causing surprise. Then Jang Hang-jun said, "I did that a lot too. I eliminated Sul Kyung-gu and Kim Hyeyoon as well," sharing an unenviable judging black history that provoked laughter. Eventually, Yu Jae-seok shook his head and made the set burst into laughter by noting, "The two are even the same in their horn-rimmed appearance and judging tendencies."
The 'horn-rimmed brothers' Jang Hang-jun and Yoon Jongshin raise expectations for whether they can find hidden gems in this audition, increasing anticipation for episode 2 of Happy Together's live broadcast.
KBS variety program Happy Together: glad I'm not alone (planned by Park Min-jung/director Kwon Jae-o/writer Rhee Minjung, hereafter 'Happy Together') is a storytelling music audition in which Yu Jae-seok reads people, Jang Hang-jun captures stories, and Yoon Jongshin listens to music, paying attention to the narratives and harmonies of various 'life teammates.' Its premiere recorded a peak rating of 4.8% and nationwide 3.0%, marking KBS's highest opening score for a variety show in 2026 (based on Nielsen Korea). In addition, it made a pleasant start by ranking second in the TV-OTT integrated non-drama topicality news category for the second week of July, as released by Good Data Corporation's FUNdex.
Meanwhile, that day on Happy Together, the two-shot of Two Months members Kim Ye-rim and Do Dae-yoon, reuniting after 13 years, is revealed. Two Months, which appeared as a mixed-gender duet on Superstar K season 3 and advanced to the live broadcasts, generated significant buzz with remarkable musicality and vocal ability but abruptly broke up and disappeared, leaving regret. It is reported that Two Months candidly revealed the inside story behind their breakup, drawing high interest.<
