This moment became the focal point of the episode, and reactions from viewers quickly followed.
Mixed Reactions from Viewers
While some viewers found Han’s drunk antics endearing and praised her for being “down to earth” and “real,” others were critical of her behavior, calling it “cringe” and “out of control.”
Positive reactions included comments like:
“This is Ji Hyun’s high school homeroom teacher. She was such a good student, diligent and proactive. I still remember the way she posed in our class photo when we went on a field trip. I wish her all the best.”
“You can tell Min Ki is trying his best to stay clear in his mind while his co-star gets more drunk, LOL. Ji Hyun is lovely.”
“Ji Hyun is going to regret this so much when she watches the episode, LOL. But we had so much fun! How adorable, really.”
“This was such a fun episode of ‘Zzanbro,’ I watched the whole thing, haha. I started watching because of Lee Min Ki, but stayed for Han Ji Hyun getting drunk. She cracked me up.”
“Han Ji Hyun is out of control, LOL. She didn’t have to go all out like that, but she didn’t turn down the drinks and wasn’t afraid to be herself.”
“Lee Min Ki gets hotter and hotter with age. Loved watching the twinkle in his eye. I’m such a huge fan.”
“Han Ji Hyun is such a charmer. So is Lee Min Ki. This episode was legendary.”
However, there were also negative comments, particularly from viewers who found the situation uncomfortable to watch:
“I’m getting secondhand embarrassment, LOL. Acting like that drunk isn’t cute at all.”
“I’ve never heard of anyone who blacked out while shooting a YouTube content. She was on camera, she should’ve been more aware of how much she’s drinking.”
“Haha. I love drinking, too… But it’s the cringiest thing watching a drunk person when you’re not drunk.”
“The hosts are adding to the problem, sure. But isn’t she an adult herself? She should know how much alcohol she can/can’t handle and should have been more mindful.”
“I mean, she got a little too drunk that I can’t quite be kind about it. The production team should have edited her acting wasted and getting out of control. It was so cringe.”
“Why do we even have this many drinking shows? So harmful.”
Criticism of the Production Team
Some viewers also directed their frustration at the show’s production team, claiming that they should have edited out moments where Han Ji Hyun appeared overly intoxicated.
“The production team decided not to edit this and to air it instead?!”
“So cringe…”
“Ugh, this pains me to watch.”
“Isn’t this going to be super embarrassing for her to watch once she sobers up? I don’t know that these kinds of shows are even worth airing.”
“Should’ve been edited…”
“Drinking shows are honestly so detrimental.”
Han Ji Hyun’s Response
After the episode aired, Han Ji Hyun took to her Instagram to address her behavior on the show. She admitted that she was not fully aware of what had happened due to the alcohol but assured her followers that she had fun and hoped they would enjoy watching the episode.
“Yes… I was on ‘Zzanbro’… It’s airing tonight at 6PM… I got way too excited while drinking… that I don’t remember a lot of what happened. 🫠 Please be kind when watching… 🤍👉👈 Thank you!” — Han Ji Hyun
