Veteran entertainer Choo Sung‑hoon drew attention on Monday night’s premiere of SBS’s new variety comedy show “아니 근데 진짜!” (“Seriously, But Really!”) after participating in a staged sketch that sparked viewer discussion online.
The first episode, broadcast on Feb. 2, placed Choo best known as a mixed martial artist and television personality alongside fellow cast members including Tak Jae‑hoon, Lee Sang‑min, Lee Su‑ji and KAI in a comedic prison scenario. The segment showcased exaggerated character interactions and physical humor typical of variety programming.
During the sketch, Choo’s character is teased by co‑stars over a fictitious backstory involving past photo shoots. In one sequence, Lee Sang‑min produces a vintage magazine featuring Choo in a past photoshoot, prompting humorous reactions from the group. Media reports noted this moment for its comic tone rather than factual reportage.
A highlight of the episode occurred when, in keeping with the show’s playful format, Choo engaged in a light‑hearted exchange about his wardrobe choices during the sketch. His candid responses prompted laughter from fellow cast members and contributed to the show’s irreverent style.
Producers of “아니 근데 진짜!” position the program as a blend of sketch and unscripted comedy, designed to showcase performers’ spontaneity and chemistry rather than documentary‑style narratives. Viewers have taken to social platforms to comment on Choo’s humor and ease in the ensemble setting.
SBS officials confirmed that the show will air weekly and feature a mix of recurring cast and special guests, emphasizing its entertainment‑oriented nature.
No official legal or personal developments concerning Choo outside the program have been announced by representatives, and the broadcast content should be understood in the context of scripted entertainment.
