Comedian Heo Anna Joins 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2' and Reveals Her New Venture as a 'Pali-People'

Comedian Heo Anna has joined the cast of SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2' alongside her husband Oh Kyung-joo.

On the episode aired on the 17th, Heo Anna, known for her unique entry as a special recruit comedian at KBS, joined the show as a new couple with her husband. Fellow comedian Kim Sook praised her, saying, "KBS special recruitment is rare and only happens when they can't do without someone."

Despite her special recruitment, Heo Anna retook the public recruitment exam to rejoin KBS, stating, "I wanted a sense of belonging, so I went through the public recruitment process and started as a rookie again."

Heo Anna surprised viewers by revealing her daily life, including her drinking habits. She previously shared her struggles, mentioning, "I haven't been on a major broadcast for five years," and "I've failed six auditions." She also faced personal challenges, including a car accident and a thyroid surgery.

The bar where Heo Anna was seen drinking is run by her husband, Oh Kyung-joo. Commentator Kim Gura noted his resemblance to actors Park Hee-soon and Lee Dong-hwi, while Hong Hyun-hee praised his "actor-like" appearance.

Oh Kyung-joo, who once pursued a career in comedy, decided it wasn't his path and trained under a local sashimi chef before opening his own one-person bar. Despite being a favorite among celebrities, the bar struggles to attract new customers. Heo Anna lamented, "My husband refuses to do marketing, saying it's not his style, but isn't survival more important?"

Their home was also revealed, showing a cluttered space with an abundance of items, shocking viewers. Hong Hyun-hee expressed concern about potential conflicts, while Seo Jang-hoon advised, "You need to get rid of things."

Heo Anna explained the clutter, stating, "I'm currently involved in group buying as a 'Pali-People.' I sell products I like and use, and it's become my main source of income."

Previously, Heo Anna faced a career setback when the variety show 'I'm Excited Too,' which she was set to appear on, was canceled due to the controversy surrounding Park Na-rae. This left her unemployed and emotionally distressed.
