Seo Jang Hoon expressed frustration at the story that he resembled Takenori Akagi (Gori) in "Slam Dunk".

Actor Lee Se Young appeared on the comprehensive programming channel JTBC's entertainment program "Knowing Bros", which was broadcast on the night of February 19th. Lee Se Young revealed that she likes the Anime "Slam Dunk".

To this, Lee Jin Ho asked, “Which character do you like the most in ‘Slam Dunk’?” and Lee Se Young replied, “Takenori Akagi (Gori)”.

Kim Hee Chul said, "It feels a little Seo Jang Hoon", and said that the Anime characters Takenori Akagi (Gori) and Seo Jang Hoon resemble each other.

However, Seo Jang Hoon said, "I'm sorry, but I've heard that story a lot since "Slam Dunk" came out. I've heard a lot of people say that I look like Takenori Akagi (Gori) and Hanamichi Sakuragi", adding, "What's frustrating about is that the two friends don't have skills", drawing a line that is different from himself.

Seo Jang Hoon continued, "As many of you who have seen "Slam Dunk" know, those two friends are just people who do it physically. I am not that kind of player”, he said, revealing the pride of the national treasure center.

In response, Lee Su Geun criticized Seo Jang Hoon, saying, "I've never seen anyone say anything to an Anime character".

However, Seo Jang Hoon did not give in and emphasized that he was different from himself, who even had skills, saying, “I know that facial features and things like this are like Takenori Akagi (Gori), but the frustrating thing is that those friends only like their physical abilities”.

Hearing this, Lee Jin Ho said, “Jang Hoon got it wrong. why don't you have the skills Hanamichi Sakuragi has the skill to make sushi”, he said, making everyone laugh.
