    Actor Han Sang Jin made everyone laugh with his unexpected variety show skills on JTBC’s Knowing Bros!

    On the February 15 episode, Han Sang Jin joined the lead actors of the upcoming film Sunny Day, which is set to hit theaters on the 19th. Right from the start, he had the cast cracking up with his funny yet relatable introduction.

    "I’m Han Sang Jin, an actor who still feels awkward whenever I appear on variety shows," he shyly said. Seeing his nervousness, Lee Soo Geun teased him, asking, "Sang Jin, are you feeling sick?"

    In response, Han Sang Jin quickly turned to his co-stars Choi Daniel and Jung Hye In, saying, "Don’t let them intimidate you!"—immediately setting the fun mood.

    Then, Han Sang Jin revealed that he was most excited to see Kang Ho Dong—but he also had a funny grudge against him!

    "There was a variety show I was invited to join, and I really wanted to film with Kang Ho Dong. So I even agreed to lower my appearance fee! But then I found out that Kang Ho Dong didn’t end up joining the show… But to be clear, it wasn’t his fault!" he explained, making everyone burst into laughter.

    However, Han Sang Jin didn’t stop there. He turned straight to Kang Ho Dong and jokingly confronted him, saying, "You were going to do it, right? You almost did it, didn’t you? I even lowered my fee because of you! But after that, my variety show appearance fee was cut in half, and it’s still the same to this day. It’s all because of you!"

    Hearing this, Kang Ho Dong dramatically fell to his knees, playfully apologizing, making the whole studio roar with laughter.

    Han Sang Jin also shared a bit about his personal life, revealing that he recently moved to Busan because of his wife.

    "My wife works in Busan, so I believe the money she earns should be spent in Busan," he said, showing his sweet and thoughtful side. His wife, a former basketball player turned coach, must be proud!

    Additionally, he flaunted his close friendship with Choi Daniel, revealing a heartwarming yet hilarious moment.

    "When he was in military training, he only had one chance to make a phone call and send a letter, and he used them both on me. I was worried the letter might get damaged, so I keep it in a safe."

    But when he revealed that he only brought a copy instead of the original, the cast couldn’t stop laughing!

    With his unexpected humor and natural chemistry with the Knowing Bros cast, Han Sang Jin definitely left a strong impression—maybe it’s time for more variety shows in his future!
