[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Amid heated debate among viewers over actor Jung Joon-won’s behavior on MBC’s “What Do You Do When You’re Bored?”, Haha has come to Jung Joon-won’s defense.

On the 3rd, Haha commented on a social media post about Jung Joon-won, explaining, “I was there on set, and he was so lovable, cute, and funny,” adding, “His reactions were meant to liven things up.”
Previously, Jung Joon-won appeared on MBC’s *What Do You Do When You’re Bored?* and appeared extremely nervous. The *What Do You Do When You’re Bored?* team made various requests of Jung Joon-won, and he even closed his eyes tightly due to his nerves.
Jung Joon-won tried to compose himself by saying, “I can do this,” but Yoo Jae-suk wrapped things up by saying, “Time’s up.” Seeing how nervous Jung Joon-won was, Yoo Jae-suk even remarked, “I think viewers will be wondering, ‘When on earth is he going to speak?’”
After the scene aired, some netizens pointed out that Jung Joon-won’s attitude went beyond mere “nervousness” and bordered on indifference. As the controversy spread, Haha stepped in to clarify the situation.
Haha said, “‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ is a really tough show, especially for a first-time variety show appearance. Since he’s not a professional variety show performer, please be kind and enjoy the show,” adding, “Please have a happy day today. Let’s give the actor a round of applause. Please cheer him on.”
Meanwhile, Jung Jun-won is currently starring in MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama, “Married Woman Killer.”
