Director Jang Hang-jun, known for his films that have each grossed over 10 million admissions, and star writer Kim Eun-hee have become a topic of discussion after completing their organ donation pledge.

In the ninth episode of KBS 2TV's variety show 'Happy Together - Because I'm Not Alone' ('Haetu'), airing tonight on the 11th, viewers will see the 'Glasses Trio'—Yoo Jae-suk, Director Jang Hang-jun, and Yoon Jong-shin—along with special MC Ahn Eun-jin from Season E of the main competition, and special MC Lee Jeok and Bolbbalgan4 from the additional qualification round, meeting their life teammates.

Among them, Director Jang Hang-jun drew attention by revealing that he and his wife, writer Kim Eun-hee, had completed their organ donation pledge many years ago.

Director Jang Hang-jun confessed, "I made an organ donation pledge with my wife, writer Kim Eun-hee, 20 years ago," adding, "I told my family beforehand that I want them to agree to organ donation after I pass away and even suggested we sign it together."

In response, Ahn Eun-jin shared, "I once found out that my father had made an organ donation pledge without telling the family. At the time, I felt hurt asking why he didn't discuss it with us, but now I think it's such a wonderful thing," which reportedly moved everyone to tears.

Meanwhile, today's episode of 'Haetu' has drawn interest due to the appearance of a choir composed of the world's only organ donation recipient family members, recipients, and pledgers. Through their choir activities, these individuals have healed each other's pain over time, forming a special bond that reportedly brought tears to the eyes of the 'Glasses Trio' and Ahn Eun-jin. In particular, Yoon Jong-shin is said to have resolved to make his own organ donation pledge soon after the performance, further sparking curiosity about the unique harmony they will deliver.

'Haetu' airs every Friday at 8:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, 'Haetu' recently made headlines by winning the 'TV Variety Category' in the 317th 'PD of the Month Award for 2026,' announced last month on the 24th by the Korean Producers Association.
