[엑스포츠뉴스=전원 기자] TAEYANG and MINO succeeded in giving a big warm laugh to everyone. 

BIGBANG’s TAEYANG and WINNER’s MINO appeared as guests on the August 26^th episode of JTBC’s Knowing Bros. 

TAEYANG started off the show in a pleasant mood with his jokes. He said, “When he was doing Strong Heart, I was really scared of Kang Hodong. He used to intimidate everyone. I used to go to his waiting room before the shooting began to say hello. He would ask me to show him what I can do. I couldn’t because he was so scary.” Then, he sang “EYES, NOSE, LIPS” to karaoke music and did a really difficult dance move and made the cast excited. His innocent and pure eyes made everyone laugh.   

MINO did a good job too in making people laugh. He was dubbed “song finger” after doing elephant spins so well on tvN’s New Journey To The West. He had to compete with Min Kyonghoon, who is also known to be an elephant spin genius. They did a total of three rounds. It was a close game, but MINO became the final winner. 

MINO felt comfortable in doing the show because he already knew Kang Hodong from doing tvN’s New Journey To The West together. 

But he said, “I’m upset. I love watching this show. When Jung Yong-hwa came on the show, Kang Hodong treated him like his little brother, and I was expecting the same thing.” 

But Kang Hodong did not gave him special treatment. It turned out that he was worried that if he acted that way, it would too much for MINO. 

MINO went on to say, “I like to have Kang Hodong as my real brother. I like him very much. But he has too many little brothers already.” 

He wanted to test how much Kang Hodong cares for him. MINO asked him whom he likes the best among EUN JIWON, Jung Yong-hwa, Lee Sookeun, Cho Kyuhyun, Ahn Jae-hyun, Kim Jongmin, himself, and Lee Seung-gi. The final winner was Lee Seung-gi, but MINO was satisfied with making it to the final two. 

TAEYANG and MINO did a parody of the drama Woman of Dignity and made everyone laugh. MINO did triple jump with a jump rope and TAEYANG showed off how he can keep his balance on a gym ball. For fun, TAEYANG also confessed, “I like SM more than YG, for which I have spent all my youth.”  

MINO and TAEYANG let go of themselves and made funny jokes, blending in perfectly with the Knowing Bros cast.

[스포츠조선=이유나 기자] TAEYANG and MINO guided the “bros” into their world of innocent variety shows. 

On the August 26^th episode of JTBC’s Knowing Bros, BIGBANG’ TAEYANG, who has recently released a solo album for the first time in three years, and WINNER’s MINO, who has become the new up and coming all-round entertainer, appeared as guests.  

TAEYANG was annoyed when the cast called him “the Kim Youngchul of BIGBANG a.k.a no fun” and started attacking Kang Hodong. 

He said, “When he was doing Strong Heart, I was really scared of him. He used to intimidate everyone.” Kang Hodong protested and said, “Don’t try to make up stories”. TAEYANG responded, “He doesn’t seem to remember. I used to go to his waiting room before the shooting began to say hello. He would ask me to show him what I can do. I couldn’t because he was so scary.”  

TAEYANG also talked about Park Myungsoo back in the day. He said, “When we were rookies, Park Myungsoo used to pull our baggy pants up. He truly thought that we were wearing our pants too low and he did it every time he saw us, which was embarrassing.” 

Lee Sangmin said, “I used to work with G-DRAGON when he was six years old and a member of Little Roo’ra. I used to take him out on drives when I got a new car.” He asked TAEYANG if G-DRAGON talks about him, and TAEYANG answered “Never” without a moment’s hesitation, which made everyone laugh. 

MINO talked about how upset he is because of Kang Hodong. He said, “I thought Kang Hodong and Lee Sookeun would be really nice to me at the waiting room because they know me well. But they only said hi to TAEYANG. They were so different when Jung Yong-hwa came on the show last time.” Kang Hodong explained why he treated him that way and said, “Last time Jung Yong-hwa was on the show, I treated him like a little brother and that was maybe too much for him. So that’s why I’m not like that today.” MINO then talked about the many little brothers of Kang Hodong and asked him whom he likes best. Kang Hodong finally confessed, “I like Lee Seung-gi more than MINO.” 

MINO is so good at doing elephant spins that he is dubbed “song finger”. On the show, he competed with Min Kyonghoon, who is also known for doing elephant spins well. MINO earned the nickname when he completed his task successfully after doing ten elephant spins on tvN’s New Journey To The West. 

In the first round, Min Kyonghoon and MINO had to do 20 elephant spins and make a hole in the paper to see what was written underneath. Min Kyonghoon succeeded in 30 seconds and MINO in 25 seconds. In the second round, Min Kyonghoon finished 0.7 seconds quicker than MINO. In the third round, MINO won by one second and became the final winner of the game. 

TAEYANG and MINO showed off their innocent witty side by doing parodies. They parodied the drama series Woman of Dignity, and their bad acting made everyone laugh. Lee Sookeun made fun of their bad acting and said, “I thought you guys were reading a book.”  

Then, TAEYANG read what was on the script said, “I like SM better”. The cast did not take this as a joke and took it seriously. They said, “You should have told us” and made him sit next to Kang Hodong, who is signed onto SM. Seo Janghoon, who is close friends with YANG HYUN SUK, said, “Mr. Yang can be really sulky sometimes. Are you sure you will be ok?” which made TAEYANG have a near mental breakdown.

On August 26, WINNER’s Song Mino and BIGBANG’s Taeyang appeared on JTBC’s “Ask Us Anything.”

Although there is a strict hierarchy of respect between seniors and juniors that exists in Korean society and its entertainment industry, for the concept of the program, all the cast members and guests on the show are considered same-age friends no matter their age or seniority in the real world.
