Actor Hyun Bong-sik (42, real name Chae Hyeon-young, formerly known as Hyun Bo-ram) has unexpectedly clarified that he never appeared in the movie "Hope" or the drama "Manager Kim," drawing attention from netizens.

On the 27th, Hyun posted a photo of himself looking cheerful on his Instagram along with the message: "I didn't appear in either 'Hope' or 'Manager Kim,' so why do you say you saw me?"

Director Na Hong-jin's film "Hope" and SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Manager Kim" are both recent hits that have achieved phenomenal popularity. "Manager Kim" concluded on the 25th with a high viewership rating of 23.0%, while "Hope" continues its box office success amid praise from BTS (BTS) member Jung-kook.

Given that Hyun is widely recognized as an actor who steals the show, it seems people mistakenly assumed he must have appeared in these popular productions. In reality, this year alone, he has been highly active, appearing in tvN's drama "How to Become a Landlord in Korea," MBC's "Fifty Percent," the film "Jjanggu," and SBS's variety show "Mountain Village Bachelor Young-woong" starring singer Im Young-woong.

Amid laughter-filled antics, singer Jo Jae-je said, "I saw you on '6 PM My Hometown'," actor Eun Jong-geon remarked, "I saw you in 'Avengers'," actor Kim Geon joked, "Didn't I see you in the forest of 'Hope'?", and Heo Jun-seok added, "You must be busy promoting your movie after returning from Cannes. Bongburi." These playful comments further fueled laughter. Additionally, a series of humorous comments from acquaintances followed, such as "That's strange. I definitely saw you," "'Hey 4885 energy?' That was a famous line," and "It was all you," creating a chain reaction of jokes.
