A video titled “I’m being funny, but I’m nervous… Legendary KBS 22nd class comedians | Jjanhanhyeong Shin Dong-yup, Jung Ho-cheol” was posted Sunday on the YouTube channel “Jjanhanhyeong Shin Dong-yup.”
In the video, host Shin Dong-yup said Heo’s catchphrase has been gaining popularity. Heo replied that until recently, elementary students “didn’t know me at all.”
Heo described riding an elevator with parents and two children in first or second grade. “When I got on, the parents said, ‘Hello, Mr. Heo Kyung-hwan. We enjoy watching you,’” he said.
He said the children asked who he was, and the parents told them, “There’s just a famous uncle.” Then, Heo said, one child looked at him and said, “Heo Kyung-hwan?”
“The kids know Heo Kyung-hwan from reels, but they didn’t know me from doing comedy,” he said, adding that the moment was “the best” he has felt this year.
Comedian Park Young-jin responded, “Now it’s the era of Heo Kyung-hwan.” Heo replied, “You’re a broadcaster.”
