Actor Cha Tae-hyun (50) showcased his sharp wit as he playfully roasted Ha Ji-won (47) on a recent YouTube episode.
On the 23rd, the YouTube channel '26학번 지원이요' released a video titled '"The age gap is over twenty years.." Cha Tae-hyun, the sniper for Ha Ji-won, makes an appearance'.
Cha Tae-hyun, invited as a guest, captivated viewers with his unique presence from the start. Observing the pharmacy-lined street in front of the school gate, he commented, "Pharmacies have taken over the restaurant spots," analyzing the business area. As he walked through the campus, he remarked, "This is perfect for a stroll," resembling a father inspecting the area.
The two, who boast a 16-year friendship, displayed a bickering yet endearing chemistry. Particularly, Cha Tae-hyun transformed into a 'Ha Ji-won sniper', delivering relentless factual jabs. He teased Ha Ji-won, who is acting as a freshman from the class of '26 on the show, saying, "How long will you stay single? It seems like marriage isn't in the cards for you."
When Ha Ji-won created a playful atmosphere with a 25-year-old college student, Cha Tae-hyun remarked, "The age gap is over twenty years. It's unfair to him and embarrassing for his parents," firmly drawing a line by saying, "Let's not match them up." He humorously added, "You'd be better off finding a single professor. Even professors are likely younger than me, and they wouldn't mind a blind date with someone from the class of '26," causing laughter on set.
The duo enjoyed youthful games like the 'Like Game' and 'Orange Game' with the college students. Cha Tae-hyun humorously concluded by telling the students, "You've worked hard entertaining Aunt Ji-won. Make sure to win over the professors," leaving everyone in stitches.
