Comedian Hwang Je-seong Reacts to Fourth Child Joke on 'Delicious Guys'

Comedian Hwang Je-seong was caught off guard by a joke about having a fourth child.

On the October 24th episode of Comedy TV's variety show 'Delicious Guys', cast members Kim Jun-hyun, Moon Se-yoon, Hwang Je-seong, and Kim Hae-jun, collectively known as 'Ddongchinz', indulged in a full-course meal of health-boosting dishes.

At the first restaurant, the group enjoyed seasonal webfoot octopus prepared in various ways, providing viewers with a vicarious satisfaction. Particularly, the members were captivated by the taste of the octopus heads, known as 'Aljjongku', and Kim Jun-hyun, referring to Kim Hae-jun as a newlywed, served him octopus heads and legs.

During this, Moon Se-yoon asked Kim Hae-jun if there was any good news, to which Kim replied, "Not yet." Moon then jokingly asked Hwang Je-seong about news of a fourth child, prompting Hwang to retort humorously, "I don't even have a third child, how can there be a fourth?" This exchange brought laughter to the set. Moon Se-yoon quipped back, "If you're busy, you might start with the fourth," further adding to the humor.

Hwang Je-seong, a father of two, expressed his desire for a third child, drawing attention. He continued the light-hearted atmosphere by suggesting to Kim Hae-jun, "Since you ate a lot of octopus today, maybe there will be good news."

Hwang continued his energetic eating spree at the second restaurant, devouring eel sashimi and eel soup, fitting the theme of the health-boosting special. His enthusiastic consumption, especially finishing the eel soup while sweating, stimulated viewers' appetites.

Meanwhile, Hwang Je-seong married fellow MBC 16th generation comedian Park Cho-eun (formerly Park Sung-ah) in 2015, and they have a son born in 2018 and a daughter born in 2021.
