Seo Jang-hoon refuses to use bathrooms outside or eat meals—Lee Seo-jin: "Crazy bastard"

Basketball giant Seo Jang-hoon has once again flustered Lee Seo-jin with his extraordinary cleanliness. As his lifestyle habits—including avoiding the use of bathrooms outside the house and even avoiding meals—were revealed, Lee Seo-jin provided laughter with an unexpected reaction. Although Seo Jang-hoon is famous for his thorough self-management, the sensitive side revealed in his daily life exceeded imagination.

On the SBS variety program 'Whatever You Wish - Secretary Jin' broadcast on the 9th, Seo Jang-hoon appeared as a client. On this day, Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu took on the role of daily secretaries, looking after Seo Jang-hoon's schedule. The problem was that they had to travel a long distance to Gangneung for the filming. Seo Jang-hoon's manager requested special attention from the two, citing the use of bathrooms as a potential emergency that could occur during travel.

According to the manager's explanation, Seo Jang-hoon tends not to use bathrooms well outside the house. If a situation arises where he must go to a bathroom, he has to find the cleanest place possible. This sensitivity toward hygiene also extended to his eating habits. As it was revealed that he almost never eats meals outside due to reasons such as bathroom use and managing his condition during filming, the hardship of the "Secretary Jin" team, who had to accompany him on the long-distance business trip, seemed significant.

The manager's requests did not end there. Following the practical precaution that the tall Seo Jang-hoon must be careful not to hit tree branches while moving, advice was even given that it would be good to show him videos of cute puppies or babies when his mood drops. Lee Seo-jin asked if he liked babies and then reacted bluntly by saying, "Crazy bastard," turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Kim Kwang-kyu cheekily responded, saying he happened to have filmed a video of a baby.

Seo Jang-hoon's clean personality was also evident in his belongings. Inside his heavy field bag, there was hand sanitizer. Seeing him meticulously pack even small hygiene items suggested that his lifestyle principles are not just a simple mood or temporary preference, but are established throughout his daily life. For Seo Jang-hoon, an outing that others might find trivial is a demanding schedule where he must consider bathrooms, meals, and hygiene status.

As Kim Kwang-kyu took the wheel and headed toward Gangneung, Seo Jang-hoon explained the reason why he usually avoids eating outside. He revealed that he does not eat well during filming and since he settles his meals at home, he eats only one meal a day. He explained that if he continues to film while looking at the screen after eating food on various broadcasts, he might get sleepy, and moving back and forth to the bathroom is also cumbersome. Rather than simply insisting on cleanliness, it is described as a lifestyle that considers the flow of filming and his physical condition.

Seo Jang-hoon is a broadcaster familiar with large assets and numerous fixed variety programs, but in this broadcast, the pickiness in his daily life, which the public did not previously know, became a subject of laughter. In particular, Lee Seo-jin's honest and direct reaction created unexpected fun when paired with Seo Jang-hoon's serious lifestyle principles. Whether it is accepted as thorough self-management or felt as somewhat picky habits by those around him may vary among viewers. What is clear is that even Seo Jang-hoon's routine outings unfolded as a unique landscape requiring a special operation for the Secretary Jin team.
