[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Actor Oh Man-seok revealed an anecdote about performing in a play in the UK in the past.

On the afternoon of the 27th, JTBC's "Knowing Bros" aired, where actor Oh Man-seok, comedian Kim Jun-ho, and Park Young-jin shared updates on their recent activities.

On this day, Oh Man-seok was initially speechless due to the lively performances of Kim Jun-ho and Park Young-jin.

First, Kim Jun-ho said, "It was during the time I was in five dramas. I appeared in the drama 'Air City' alongside Lee Jung-jae and Choi Ji-woo, and we were filming at a village community center. However, many fans gathered, making it impossible to continue filming. The director asked for understanding after taking photos and suggested continuing the shoot. Since I am also a celebrity, I tried to go to the center to take photos, but someone said 'Get in line!' and hit me with an elbow," causing laughter around him.

Next to him, Oh Man-seok said, "I felt intimidated today because everyone around me was so funny," showing a lack of confidence. Seeing this, Park Young-jin encouraged him, saying, "I'll add some details to your story."

Oh Man-seok shared an anecdote about performing a play in the UK with Hong Rok-gi.

Oh Man-seok said, "I played the role of Danjong, and Rok-gi hyung had to kill me. There was a scene where he brought poison from behind and fed it to me, but Rok-gi hyung dropped the poison. I was supposed to eat it and die, but hyung, who was supposed to kill me, gently removed his hand from my neck. As an ad-lib, I said, 'If you want to kill me like that, then I'll die for you,' and drank the poison on the floor and died," bringing laughter to the viewers.

When asked about the audience's reaction, Oh Man-seok said, "The British audience said it was their first time seeing such a death," sharing the situation at the time.
