Shin Jung-hwan and Tak Jae-hoon faced each other again, their brief exchange carrying years of absence, change, and shared comedic rhythm.

On July 7, a teaser for the next episode was revealed at the end of a Son Dam-bi appearance on YouTube’s No Back Tak Jae-hoon. Shin appeared with his face partly hidden, while Tak momentarily fell silent. Breaking the tension, Shin joked, “Did I get caught again?”—instantly turning the moment into laughter.

Despite its brevity, the teaser sparked strong reactions. Viewers commented, “The last 10 seconds did it all,” “Show it raw without edits,” and “This pairing is unbeatable.”

The duo debuted in 1998 as Country Kko Kko. After Shin’s hiatus, their on-screen reunions were rare; this marks their first since Mnet’s Project S: Devil’s Talent Donation in 2017—an eight-year gap.

Rather than revisiting the past, the meeting presents who they are now. Straightforward banter and self-deprecating humor collide, embracing even the awkwardness as comedy. Anticipation builds for what comes next.
