Producer Rhymer had a funny and proud moment on TV when he revealed that he got more screen time than actor Kim Woo Bin — and his parents couldn’t be happier.

On the May 1st episode of tvN’s variety show Handsome Guys (episode 21), cast members Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Dong Hyun, Lee Yi Kyung, and Shin Seung Ho were joined by guest Rhymer, filling in for Oh Sang Wook, who was away for the Fencing Sabre World Cup.

The team took on the challenge of suggesting lunch and dinner menus for hardworking office workers.

This wasn’t Rhymer’s first appearance on the show. He had previously joined a special episode focused on people born in the Year of the Snake, where he stood out with his unique and quirky charm.

During the episode, Cha Tae Hyun brought up how Rhymer’s screen time had felt a bit short the last time he appeared.

But Lee Yi Kyung jumped in, saying, “It seemed like you were on a lot,” and Rhymer agreed, adding a proud moment from home.

He said, “It ended up being longer than I expected. My parents even said, ‘You were on longer than Kim Woo Bin,’ and they were really happy about it.”

Rhymer’s lighthearted story had everyone laughing, showing how even the smallest moments on screen can be a big deal for proud parents.
