A resurfaced clip from the variety show Knowing Bros has sparked backlash online after viewers criticized a remark made by Seo Jang Hoon toward singer HyunA.
In the segment, the cast members were performing a humorous skit about choosing which member would appear in HyunA’s music video. While the scene was intended to be playful, the conversation took an uncomfortable turn when Seo Jang Hoon jokingly said that fellow cast member Min Kyung Hoon would film the kiss scene while he would handle the “bed scene.”
Up until that moment, HyunA had been laughing along with the skit, but viewers noticed that her expression quickly changed after hearing the comment.
After the clip resurfaced on online communities such as Instiz, many netizens criticized the remark as inappropriate. Some comments described it as “disrespectful” or “shallow,” arguing that such jokes should not be made even in the context of a comedy skit.
Others questioned whether the moment was simply misunderstood since it occurred during a scripted comedic segment. However, several users insisted that certain jokes should still be avoided, regardless of the setting.
The resurfaced footage quickly spread across social media platforms, reigniting debate over boundaries in variety show humor and how entertainers should address sensitive topics while performing comedic skits.
Neither Seo Jang Hoon nor the production team of Knowing Bros has issued a new statement regarding the resurfaced clip as the discussion continues among online communities.
