Kim Ji-hoon and Tak Jae-hoon Exchange Playful Jabs on 'But Seriously!'

On the latest episode of SBS's variety show 'But Seriously!' aired on the 23rd, actor Kim Ji-hoon made a guest appearance.

During the show, Kim Ji-hoon shared updates about his current drama 'Infidelity Isn't the Issue Right Now,' where he plays a husband to Kim Hye-soo while having an affair with Jo Yeo-jeong. He humorously noted, "We started filming in January, and I'm currently in the midst of committing infidelity."

When asked to choose between Kim Hye-soo and Jo Yeo-jeong, Kim Ji-hoon, playing the shy character, dodged the question by saying, "I haven't met many women, so I don't know," but eventually joked, "I want both," causing laughter. Tak Jae-hoon, overly immersed in the infidelity storyline, humorously exclaimed, "The male lead is a bad guy!"

Kim Ji-hoon further teased, "Next week, I'm scheduled to commit infidelity," and confessed, "I love my wife Kim Hye-soo, but..." Comedian Lee Soo-ji humorously retorted, "If you love her, why cheat? Why did you propose marriage in the first place? Is there a scene where you get slapped? Let's try it now," adding to the laughter.

Kim Ji-hoon, who boasts a 20-year friendship with Tak Jae-hoon, remarked, "He never sends coffee trucks or even buys me a cup of coffee. He doesn't treat long-time friends well, never praises, only criticizes. Yet, there's something charming about it."

He added, "He once told me not to do variety shows because I'm not funny, yet I always get invited to his new shows. I've appeared on all of Jae-hoon's programs, even performed on a Country Kko Kko stage. I once went on a 'family trip' that turned out to be a celebrity soccer match."

The two, who know each other well, exchanged playful threats. Kim Ji-hoon teased, "I could make you retire right here if I spill your secrets," to which Tak Jae-hoon retorted, "If I reveal everything, you'll have to quit acting and become my manager," sparking interest.

Meanwhile, Kai was surprised to learn that Kim Ji-hoon was the 'first actor from SM Entertainment.' Despite training alongside Super Junior's Eunhyuk, Girls' Generation's Seohyun, and Yoona, he switched to acting. He shared, "I was with Seo Hyun-jin, Lee Yeon-hee, and Go Ara. I appeared in BoA's music video, but only I recognize myself."
