Shin Seung-ho Reveals His 'Born to Be Clam Guy' Secret with BTS's Jin on 'Handsome Guys'

Actor Shin Seung-ho (29) unveils a secret about his clam-loving roots and brotherly bond with BTS's Jin.

On the 23rd episode of tvN's variety show 'Handsome Guys', airing at 8:40 PM on the 15th, Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, Lee Yi-kyung, Shin Seung-ho, and Oh Sang-wook, along with special guest BTS's Jin, embark on a culinary adventure in the Hannam-dong area of Seoul, recommending lunch and dinner spots.

The 'Handsome Guys' crew visits a 'clam grill restaurant' with a coastal vibe for their dinner recommendation. The group splits into 'Clam Grill Team' with Cha Tae-hyun, Jin, and Oh Sang-wook, and 'Non-Clam Grill Team' with Kim Dong-hyun, Lee Yi-kyung, and Shin Seung-ho. Shin Seung-ho, determined to get more food, draws attention with his antics.

Sitting dejectedly at an empty table, Shin Seung-ho eyes the 'whelk' side dish provided to the 'Clam Grill Team', only to be stopped by Cha Tae-hyun. Jin, feeling sympathetic, gifts one whelk each to the 'Non-Clam Grill Team'. Seizing the moment, Shin Seung-ho proposes a game to Kim Dong-hyun and Lee Yi-kyung, winning all three whelks and celebrating his victory.

Shin Seung-ho then challenges the 'Clam Grill Team' to a 'clam casino', betting three whelks, turning the scene into a laughter-filled spectacle.

Amidst his hunger, Shin Seung-ho's desperate tactics add to the humor. He volunteers to grill clams and claims, "I was born in a clam," revealing his clam-loving heritage. He shares, "My family is from Goheung, Jeollanam-do. I grew up eating clams, and I even have a scar from falling in the mud while catching clams," asserting his 'Born to Be Clam Guy' status.

Shin Seung-ho teams up with Kim Dong-hyun for a clam heist. When Jin catches them, asking, "What's in your mouth?", Kim Dong-hyun feigns innocence, saying, "It's my tongue! I'm biting my tongue!" Meanwhile, Shin Seung-ho sneaks a scallop into his mouth, using Kim Dong-hyun as a shield, adding to the anticipation.
