Actor Yoon Kye-sang showcased a true bromance with his close friend Park Ji-hwan through the spin-off of 'The Iron Man,' 'The Iron Friends.' In particular, Yoon Kye-sang's youthful looks and playful demeanor at the age of 47 were enough to astonish viewers.
On the 27th, the TV Chosun variety show 'The Iron Man' featured Kim Sang-ho's visit to Gwanmaedo, known as the pearl of the southernmost part of the Korean Peninsula and the Dadohae Sea. There, actors Yoon Kye-sang and Park Ji-hwan joined as the first guests of 'The Iron Friends.'
The two have a long-standing friendship, known as regular guests at Kim Sang-ho's garden hideout, and they rushed to his invitation without hesitation. Both were unable to hide their anticipation even before entering Gwanmaedo. Park Ji-hwan said, “I feel like I'm going on a picnic because I'm going to meet Hyung Sang-ho,” showing an excited expression, and Yoon Kye-sang greeted Park Ji-hwan warmly as “Ji-hwan,” proving their close chemistry. The two, who had worked together in the movie 'The Outlaws,' have maintained a strong friendship in reality.
In particular, Park Ji-hwan expressed deep affection for Yoon Kye-sang, saying, “(Kye-sang) Hyung is a good person no matter when you see him; we are really close.” In fact, Yoon Kye-sang was born in 1978, and Park Ji-hwan in 1980, with a two-year age difference. At 47, Yoon Kye-sang still evokes 'nostalgic excitement' with his gentle gaze and playful charm.
While heading to Gwanmaedo, Yoon Kye-sang jokingly remarked, “I think we should run away; I feel something is off,” and Park Ji-hwan could not hide his puzzled expression, asking, “Hyung, have you ever been on a boat like this?” Yoon Kye-sang replied, “I haven't. Who rides a boat like this to get in?” showing surprise that elicited natural laughter.
As soon as the two arrived, Kim Sang-ho and Cha Woo-min welcomed them at the dock, and Yoon Kye-sang joked, “Now that I've arrived, I think I’ll go back,” but then added, “Still, it feels like a real vacation. Gwanmaedo is not bad,” showing a satisfied expression. However, the peace was short-lived as the four immediately headed to a seaweed farm, embarking on a rugged field experience. Amidst the struggles with water, clothes, and the wind, the real countryside life began, naturally making them say, “I want to go home.”
Above all, after the broadcast, Yoon Kye-sang elicited reactions of, "Is he really 47?" from viewers with his still youthful appearance, showcasing the essence of 'youthful bromance' that makes one forget age, and he fully revealed his new entertainment charm through 'The Iron Friends.'
