Comedian Heo Kyung-hwan Recognized as Yoo Jae-suk's Right-Hand Man on 'Can't Do It Alone'

Heo Kyung-hwan, the 'trending comedian,' was acknowledged as Yoo Jae-suk's right-hand man on the JTBC variety show 'Can't Do It Alone,' which aired on the 27th.

During the episode, Heo Kyung-hwan humorously remarked while waiting for other members, "I used to feel anxious when alone, but not anymore. Does talking to myself like this make it to the broadcast?"

Fellow comedian Lee Soo-ji asked, "You must be busy these days, how did you manage to come here?" Jeon Hyun-moo chimed in, "Isn't he Yoo Jae-suk's right-hand man?" Even Choo Sung-hoon congratulated him, to which Heo Kyung-hwan responded, "Stop it, if you keep this up, I won't be able to appear on shows. Don't hype me up," causing laughter.

When asked again, "You're really busy, aren't you? You're the trending man," Heo Kyung-hwan joked, "I squeezed in some time to come. I have a set time to leave, and when that time comes, I'll take off my mic," playing the 'top star' role and making everyone laugh.

Known for his hobby of participating in jiu-jitsu competitions, Heo Kyung-hwan's appearance prompted Lee Soo-ji to say, "What are we doing today? As long as it's not exercise." Heo Kyung-hwan suggested, "Soo-ji, do you choose your shows these days?" proposing 'unique exercises for everyone to enjoy.'

Heo Kyung-hwan, a brown belt in jiu-jitsu, and Choo Sung-hoon, a former judo athlete and MMA fighter, engaged in a strength contest. When Lee Se-hee asked, "Who would win if you two fought?" Jeon Hyun-moo replied, "You'd be dead in a minute," and Heo Kyung-hwan corrected, "If caught, you'd be dead."

Heo Kyung-hwan humorously described Choo Sung-hoon as "his body hasn't fully evolved yet; he looks like a gorilla." After a fierce one-minute match, Jeon Hyun-moo intervened. Heo Kyung-hwan admired, "Choo Sung-hoon is a world-class athlete because he's good at judo techniques and striking, while I only focus on defense and control. If he wanted, he could have stood up."

Meanwhile, Heo Kyung-hwan was offered a 'sister blind date' by Lee Se-hee. Heo Kyung-hwan shared, "My ideal type is someone pure and bright. When I get married, I'll propose by arranging lights on a Tongyeong squid boat to form a heart."

Lee Se-hee revealed, "My sister is pure. During school, people would say, 'Aren't you her brother?' and I benefited a lot," showing a photo. After intently looking at the photo, Heo Kyung-hwan expressed excitement, "I have a new goal. Talk to your sister and see what she thinks."
