Looking back to their first meeting, Ji remembers being intimidated. "I couldn't say much. I smiled because, well, he's a senior I really like. I got his autograph and wrote, 'I hope to see you in a production."

Things took a playful turn when Jang remarked that he had become almost childlike when talking about Cho Seung Woo.

Ji interjected with a "Because I like it!" When someone mentions senior Cho Seung Woo, I half-heartedly play along and say, 'BrotherSeung Woo?' But I've not actually run into him privately," and the crowd chuckled.

Earlier this month, Ji Chang Wook was last seen in JTBC's drama "Welcome to Samdalli," which ended its run with over 12% viewership rating.

It not only drew popularity to the drama but also, within his act for Jo Yong-Pil, he showed the 'healing romance' that he could portray.

Ji is also appearing in the Disney+ series The Worst Evil and has been lauded for his role in Gangnam B-side, now the second highest-ranking series worldwide on streaming services.
