Comedians Song Pil-geun and Na Hyun-young showed off their amazing bestie chemistry through a unique “informal language” (banmal) concept.
A video titled “The Reality of Comedian Discipline! ‘Knowing Song’ on the Verge of Disbandment???” was uploaded to ‘Saego_F5-Deokbapjib’, a YouTube channel run by TVXQ’s Max Changmin.
In the video, Song Pil-geun and Na Hyun-young caught everyone’s attention by speaking informally to Max Changmin from the beginning to the end of the shoot. The reason for this was none other than the program’s unique concept.
During the opening, the cast agreed to use informal language to get close to each other quickly. They even shared a hilarious story about how the production team gave them a “scary” rule: if they didn’t use banmal, they wouldn’t be paid their appearance fee, which left the set in laughter.
Amidst this friendly concept, Song Pil-geun and Na Hyun-young boasted a perfect partnership that extends beyond the screen. Song Pil-geun praised his junior Na Hyun-young, describing her as kind-hearted but incredibly sharp and efficient at work, noting that they are the most compatible professional partners.
The two revealed that while they are intensely focused on their acting when on stage, they are completely informal off-stage, giving each other honest feedback without hesitation. They added a heartwarming touch by confessing that they maintain a strong bond, often traveling together or talking all night, with Song Pil-geun feeling as comfortable with her as if she were a younger brother.
The members also took on a mouth-watering cooking challenge, sharing their struggles as they manually grated potatoes to make potato pancakes.
During the talk time while cooking, they dove into a variety of topics, from honest behind-the-scenes stories about the notorious discipline culture in the comedy world to their special affection for ‘Gag Concert’ and their passionate fan experiences with their favorite artists.
At the end of the video, the three wrapped up the session on a friendly note, sweetly singing TVXQ’s hit song ‘Hug’ together, and Na Hyun-young even gave a spontaneous performance of her recently released new song.
