Group SEVENTEEN's Jeong Han shared an anecdote about his experience with the Japanese language.

On the 4th, YouTube channel 'Yano Shiro' uploaded a video titled "SEVENTEEN Jeong Han's recommended full Korean travel course (ft. authentic local restaurants)."

In the released video, Jeong Han of SEVENTEEN is shown introducing a Korean travel itinerary while meeting Yano Shiro.

Yano Shiro expressed delight upon seeing Jeong Han, saying, "We're not meeting for the first time. We met nine years ago at 'MAMA.' I probably just passed by and exchanged greetings."

Explaining why he chose to introduce his favorite restaurant, Jeong Han said, "I thought I'd give Yano Shiro a little Korean tour since she was visiting. This place is also one of my regular spots. Japan has many eel dishes, but I'm not fond of grilled ones, so I wanted to recommend this."

When asked about his nickname, Jeong Han replied, "Fans call me 'Hani.' Because my name is Jeong Han, they say 'Hani' or 'Hani-chan.'" Yano Shiro responded with satisfaction, saying, "That's cute. Hani-chan."

The production team asked Jeong Han about his Japanese proficiency, inquiring whether he had studied separately. Jeong Han answered, "I've been studying consistently. Among our members, few can speak Japanese well. So I worked hard for the sake of Japanese Carats (fans)."

When asked if there were any difficult episodes while learning Japanese, Jeong Han said, "It wasn't particularly difficult, but when I was in Japan, an MC on a program asked me during their break time if it was okay. At that moment, I was really struggling and needed to say 'taihen' (meaning 'difficult' in Japanese), but instead I answered 'hentai' (meaning 'pervert' in Japanese). The MC then asked, 'Jeong Han the pervert?' and I confirmed it. That embarrassing memory is why I memorized both words accurately," eliciting laughter from Yano Shiro.
