Han Ji-min rejects Son Suk-ku's attempt at informal speech

During a spontaneous phone call on the 23rd, actor Han Ji-min playfully rebuffed Son Suk-ku's attempts to use informal speech despite being only one year apart in age. The trio, including Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu, shared the witty exchange while gathered in Busan for the SBS variety program 'Whatever You Wish - Secretary Jin'.

Actor Han Ji-min provided laughs by firmly pushing back against Son Suk-ku's playful use of informal speech. A battle of wits unfolded as Son Suk-ku pushed to become friends, noting they are only one year apart, while Han Ji-min drew a line, responding with "How dare you." The atmosphere was further lightened by the trio's close friendship, highlighted by Han Ji-min's unrestrained jokes directed at Lee Seo-jin.

In the 8th episode of the SBS variety program 'Whatever You Wish - Secretary Jin' broadcast on the 23rd, actor Son Suk-ku appeared as a guest. On this day, Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu spent a special day in Busan with Son Suk-ku. Upon learning that Han Ji-min was also staying in Busan, the three made a spontaneous phone call to invite her to join them. This unexpected call led to a series of unrestrained jokes among the actors.

After confirming Han Ji-min was in Busan, Kim Kwang-kyu jokingly told her, "Lee Seo-jin and Son Suk-ku, whom you cherish, are here, so come over." However, Han Ji-min's reaction was cold. She immediately caused laughter by firmly responding, "I think you have the wrong number." Her apparent reluctance to accept the invitation from familiar faces heightened the playful mood on set.

Han Ji-min's verbal attacks on Lee Seo-jin did not stop there. She poured out unrestrained jokes, saying, "Throw him into the sea. Kick him." She added to the laughter by telling Son Suk-ku, "You are somewhat of a successor to Lee Seo-jin senior." Her candid and refreshing wit was evident in the way she playfully checked both Lee Seo-jin and Son Suk-ku together.

Son Suk-ku was not one to simply take the teasing. Caught in a mischievous mood, he suddenly addressed Han Ji-min, who is one year older than him, with the informal greeting, "Hi, Ji-min." Reacting to the sudden change in speech, Han Ji-min immediately retorted, "What do you mean, 'Hi, Ji-min'? You must be crazy." The call quickly turned into a sea of laughter as Son Suk-ku tried to close the distance through familiarity and Han Ji-min reacted with bewilderment at the unexpected informal language.

Son Suk-ku did not stop there. He slyly argued, "Let's be friends at this point. There isn't even a difference of a few months, is there?" He pushed to be friends based on their one-year age difference. However, Han Ji-min did not back down easily, retorting, "How dare you." A strange contrast was formed between Han Ji-min's reaction, as if the senior-junior relationship remains strict despite the small age gap, and Son Suk-ku's attitude of continuing his pranks while ignoring it.

Kim Kwang-kyu joined the verbal skirmish between the two. He suggested to Han Ji-min that she come for a beer if she has time, but she shot back, "I only drink with people I like." Her witty response, suggesting she wouldn't easily open her heart to just anyone, caused more laughter. The conversation between the three felt more like jokes exchanged between close friends than a formal call for recruitment.

Son Suk-ku's pranks continued until the end of the call. He finally offered another informal greeting, saying, "Okay, Ji-min. Hi." Han Ji-min did not miss the opportunity and sternly commanded, "Son Suk-ku, use formal language." Han Ji-min's response, which did not yield to the continuous barrage of informal speech from start to finish, ensured laughter until the very end of the call.

The broadcast provided unique entertainment through the combination of Han Ji-min's unrestrained jokes toward Lee Seo-jin, Son Suk-ku's sly pranks, and Han Ji-min's firm responses. In particular, the bickering chemistry between Son Suk-ku, who insisted on being friends due to the one-year age difference, and Han Ji-min, who refused to allow it, caught the viewers' attention. Unlike their serious images in works, the comfortable wit of the three actors revealed in the variety show highlighted their close friendship.

Han Ji-min was born on November 5, 1982, and Son Suk-ku was born on February 7, 1983.
