Haha and Heo Kyung-hwan are set to entertain audiences with their dual roles as royal dogs and their human personas.
The upcoming episode of MBC's variety show 'Hangout with Yoo', airing on the 4th, will feature the much-anticipated 'Kimhae Crown Prince' Yang Sang-guk's visit to Seoul, which has already sparked excitement from the preview.
In the released photos, Haha and Heo Kyung-hwan transform into royal dogs 'Hakogi' (Haha + Welsh Corgi) and 'Heodachs' (Heo Kyung-hwan + Dachshund), showcasing their comedic prowess. Their handler, Joo Woo-jae, attempts to train the rambunctious royal dogs. With commands like 'Ujjujju' and 'Bangya!', Joo Woo-jae's training prompts Haha and Heo Kyung-hwan to unleash their playful antics, fully embracing their canine roles and causing laughter.
Meanwhile, Haha takes charge by asserting his status with 'Kimhae Crown Prince' Yang Sang-guk on his back, declaring, "We outrank the attendants. We are royal family members." He even boldly asks Yoo Jae-suk to "wipe his (dog) paws," demanding attention.
Seizing the opportunity in the absence of the crown prince, Yoo Jae-suk steps in to discipline the royal dogs. His command to "Be quiet!" and the 'shush' gesture pique curiosity about the mischief they might have caused.
However, Haha and Heo Kyung-hwan face an unexpected challenge while living as royal dogs. They are barred by a 'No Pets Allowed' sign, prompting them to question, "Do they think we're real dogs?" This moment brings them back to reality, highlighting their human side.
The fate of Haha and Heo Kyung-hwan, caught between their royal dog and human identities, will be revealed in the episode airing at 6:30 PM.
