"This must be 170 cm." Heo Kyung-hwan reveals his height has grown from 168.2 cm to 169.7 cm… A rising star who’s funny even when it comes to his height
Hyeok Kyung-hwan, currently at the height of his popularity, finally took off his socks to have his actual height measured, revealing a surprising height that surpassed his official profile.
On the July 7 broadcast of KBS2’s “Gag Concert,” Hyeok Kyung-hwan appeared as the defendant in the “Public Trial” segment and stood trial for the “crime of spreading illegal catchphrases.”
During the "Public Trial" segment, Prosecutor Jeong Beom-gyun claimed that the height of 168.2 cm listed in Heo Kyung-hwan’s profile was false.
Ultimately, the "Public Trial" team decided to measure Heo Kyung-hwan’s height on the spot, so they had him remove both his shoes and socks and stand on the measuring device. The eagle-eyed audience demanded a strict measurement, even pointing out that he was standing on his tiptoes.
In the end, after not only removing his socks but also rolling up his pants, Heo Kyung-hwan’s height was measured at 169.7 cm—taller than the 168.2 cm listed in his profile.
The audience applauded this surprising result, which shocked not only his fellow comedians but Heo Kyung-hwan himself, cheering him on as he proved he was still growing.
Heo Kyung-hwan, who couldn’t hide his nervousness at having to measure his height on the spot and was flustered by having to remove not only his shoes but also his socks, finally broke into a belated smile upon seeing the number.
Born in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province in 1981, Heo Kyung-hwan has been a consistent presence on various variety shows, including "Gag Concert," since his debut in 2006. Recently, he has appeared in a string of shows such as “What Do You Do When You Play?”, “My Little Old Boy,” and “Choi Woo-soo’s Mountain,” cementing his status as a top variety star and enjoying a second golden age in his career.
