Jang Do-yeon and Heo Kyung-hwan, a subtle undercurrent between 19-year acquaintances… “There have been moments of fluttering”

Comedian Jang Do-yeon confessed that she has experienced feelings of excitement toward her close colleague, comedian Heo Kyung-hwan.

On the 11th, a video titled “The Korean version of Zendaya and Tom Holland? Heo Kyung-hwan flirting with his crown” was posted on the YouTube channel 'ggzz'.

In the video, when asked if she had ever felt excited about Heo Kyung-hwan, Jang Do-yeon replied, “From my debut in 2007 until now in 2026, there have been moments when I felt excited while watching Mr. Heo Kyung-hwan.”

However, the explanation that followed was different from what was expected. Jang Do-yeon said, “When I look at Mr. Heo Kyung-hwan’s crown, my heart cannot flutter in that way,” adding, “I can scrutinize it like a drone and ask, ‘Is your brother’s hair loss okay?’ There have been moments when I felt excited looking at your brother’s crown,” which drew laughter.

In response, Heo Kyung-hwan joked, “It seems Jang Do-yeon is the person who has looked at my crown for the longest time.” Jang Do-yeon also playfully retorted, “I am more familiar with this spot than your face.”

On the other hand, Heo Kyung-hwan said, “Do-yeon is the opposite sex I have known the longest during my broadcasting career,” and confided, “After spending 20 years together, if you suddenly say she looks like an opposite-sex person, it feels like going crazy. The question itself put me through a lot of difficulty.”

Jang Do-yeon also recalled her first impression of Heo Kyung-hwan. She said, “When I first saw him, he was so handsome,” and added, “People say Heo Kyung-hwan is handsome now, but if you go back 20 years in your mind and think about it, he had the feel of a young, fully formed broadcaster.”

She further added, “At first, I thought he was a capricious, shrewd, and fox-like person, but later I found out that he is a very warm, affectionate, and deep person.”

Jang Do-yeon was born in 1985, and Heo Kyung-hwan was born in 1981. The two are classmates who debuted together as KBS 22nd-generation public recruitment comedians in 2007.
