[Asia Economy, Intern Reporter Min Junyoung] Former basketball player Heo Jae and current basketball player Heo Hun, father and son, appeared on a soccer field instead of a basketball court.


On the May 10 broadcast of JTBC's variety show , professional basketball player Heo Hun appeared together with his father, Heo Jae.


On the show, the cast introduced Heo Hun as "a basketball star who ranked first in the All-Star fan vote, and has achieved outstanding results such as being first in assists overall, second in total points, and successfully making nine consecutive three-point shots."


The cast further added, "Heo Hun has accomplished things that even his father could not, including recording 20 points and 20 assists in a single game."


In response, Heo Jae said, "Do you really have to say it's something I couldn't do?" and added, "Whenever I have time, I monitor my son's games."


On this day, "Eojjeoda FC," a team made up of cast members, played a soccer match against "Cheongpa Football Club."


Coach Ahn Junghwan placed Heo Jae and Heo Hun side by side as left fullback and left winger, respectively, and commented, "If there is a gap on the left side, the Heo father and son duo will be responsible for it."


Eojjeoda FC conceded goals at 1 minute 30 seconds into the first half and at 10 minutes into the second half, but managed to tie the game with a goal by Park Taehwan at 13 minutes into the second half and an equalizer by Kim Yohan at 19 minutes into the second half.



Meanwhile, Heo Hun is the second son of Heo Jae. He was selected as the first overall pick in the first round of the 2017 rookie draft and is currently playing for Busan KT Sonicboom.
