I'm not sure if I can actually do it," to which the shaman confidently replied, "You can 100% do it."
Jang added, "Hearing that I'm capable of doing it reassured me. It made me realize I need to live diligently again. I think living like that is cool if you're born. There's no other reason," he shared calmly, leaving a lasting impression. Jang Keun-suk continues to captivate viewers with his blend of humor and sincerity, leading 'Gugidong Friends' with his approachable yet profound charm, raising expectations for his future endeavors.
