Actor Han Sang-jin showed off his entertainment skills through ‘Knowing Brothers’.

Han Sang-jin appeared on JTBC‘s ’Knowing Brothers‘, which aired on the afternoon of the 15th, with the lead actors of the movie ’Sunny Day‘, which is scheduled to be released on the 19th.

Han Sang-jin, who stood at the podium on that day’s broadcast, greeted everyone happily, saying, “I‘m still an awkward actor Han Sang-jin when I appear on entertainment shows.” At this time, Lee Soo-geun dissed Han Sang-jin’s face, which turned pale with tension, saying, “Did Sang-jin show it?”, and Han Sang-jin got angry and shouted at Choi Daniel and Jung Hye-in, saying, “Don‘t be pushed around by the momentum,” which made people laugh from the start.

Han Sang-jin, who confessed, “I wanted to meet Kang Ho-dong the most on ’Knowing Bros,‘” said, “There was a time when I got an offer from a variety show that Kang Ho-dong was considering. I lowered my appearance fee because I wanted to film with him, but he said that Kang Ho-dong’s appearance fell through. But it‘s not Kang Ho-dong’s fault,” he said, turning the studio upside down by revealing a past episode.

He then pressed Kang Ho-dong saying, “You almost did it, right? You were going to do it, right? You were going to do it,” and said, “I cut my appearance fee because you said I would, but since then, my entertainment appearance fee has been cut in half and I‘m still at that amount. It’s all because of you,” and vented his anger. Kang Ho-dong‘s scene of kneeling and apologizing made everyone burst into laughter.

Han Sang-jin, who revealed that he had moved to Busan, said, “My wife earns money in Busan, so I think that money should be spent in Busan,” showing his loving side toward his wife, a former basketball player and coach. He also showed off his “real friends” friendship with Choi Daniel by saying, “Choi Daniel wrote me letters and phone calls that he could only use once during the training camp. I’m keeping the letters in a safe because I‘m worried they’ll get damaged,” and brought copies of the letters instead of the originals, filling the set with laughter.

Han Sang-jin said, “I‘m good at staring contests,” and proposed an 8:1 staring contest with the members of “Knowing Bros.” He added, “If I win, Seo Jang-hoon and Kang Ho-dong come to my wife’s stadium and have a showdown. If we don‘t have time, call Coach Park here.” Seo Jang-hoon complained, but he responded, “Jang-hoon hates basketball? He drove him crazy by asking, ”Do you love basketball?“ and surprised everyone by easily defeating 8 people in a series of staring contests.

There was also a tense futsal match between the ‘Sunny Day’ team and the ‘Knowing Bros’ team. Han Sang-jin, who received a pass from Jung Hye-in, scored the first goal by scoring, and then he drew admiration by carrying the game with his excellent athleticism, such as scoring an additional goal with a powerful shot from the half-line.

Meanwhile, the movie ‘Sunny Day’, which is scheduled to be released on the 19th, is a restart happy movie about superstar Oh Sun-hee (played by Jung Hye-in), who returns to her hometown of Wando after a divorce suit, meeting her first love, pure-hearted Jo Dong-pil (played by Choi Daniel), and her hometown friends, giving each other the courage to start anew. Han Sang-jin will heighten the bright atmosphere of the drama by playing the role of Ha Seok-jin, a civil servant at Wando County Office in ‘Sunny Day’.
