Heo Sung-tae Shows Gentle Charm Behind Fierce Visuals, Causing Yoo Jae-suk to Laugh Out Loud on '틈만나면,'

Actor Heo Sung-tae is set to crack up viewers with his surprisingly gentle and endearing charm hidden beneath his fierce on-screen persona.

On the SBS variety show '틈만나면,', airing tonight (August 18) at 9 p.m., the "Two-Yoo MCs" Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, along with "Gap Friends" and actors Jung Hae-in and Heo Sung-tae, will search for spare moments in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, to deliver good fortune.

On this day, Heo drew attention from the opening by struggling against the heat with just a small handheld fan. While Jung Hae-in demonstrated boxing, Heo shyly threw punches behind him only to be caught by Yoo Jae-suk. Later, while eating shaved ice, he complained of a brain freeze, prompting Yoo Jae-suk to tease him by saying, "Sung-tae plays a villain, but he is weak against the heat, weak against ice—pretty weak for a villain," turning the set into a sea of laughter.

In particular, during the "boxing glove table tennis game," Heo let his enthusiasm get the better of him and repeatedly hit out-of-bounds, leading him to drop to his knees and perform full-body slapstick comedy. He eventually sent the set into a frenzy by brightly self-deprecating himself, saying, "(I am) a fool, fool Sung-tae. My mom is going to love this."

With Heo's physical stamina completely drained, it is said that Yoo Jae-suk even requested a timeout during the game, saying, "Sung-tae, let's take a moment."

Proving its powerful buzz by ranking first in its time slot and landing in the top tier of Netflix's TOP 10 series since its Season 5 premiere, '틈만나면,' will air tonight (August 18) at 9 p.m.
