Jang Hyun-sung felt he had to be with Shin Gu, and Jang Young-nam called Shin Gu a "tear button," confessing an experience of repentance and tears for his passion.

Jang Hyun-sung will elicit laughter by revealing an anecdote with director Jang Hang-jun, his classmate and close friend from Seoul Institute of the Arts' Theater Department.

Along with this, he will reveal the behind-the-scenes story of his '1-minute death' appearance in the hit film 'The King and the Man,' which surpassed 15 million viewers, drawing attention. Furthermore, Jang Hyun-sung plans to mention the differences between his classmates, director Jang Jin and director Jang Hang-jun.

Jang Hyun-sung, who earned the nickname 'Death Specialist Actor' for often playing dying roles, and Jang Young-nam will unleash a flood of episodes related to playing dead. Jang Hyun-sung confessed, "The first moment they took my measurements for the 'dummy' production, I swore without realizing it," bringing on explosive laughter. Curiosity rises about why the usually dignified actor became so angry.

Jang Young-nam emphasized that the most important thing in playing dead is the eyes, revealing that she once couldn't film because her pupils kept moving. She also shared a humorous incident where she took sleep aids due to anxiety during reshoots and ended up sleep-talking, making the set burst into laughter.
