The gold medalists from the men's and women's basketball teams at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games are set to appear on JTBC's variety show 'Knowing Bros'. This appearance celebrates the significant achievement of both national basketball teams winning gold medals simultaneously for the first time in 12 years since the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, with the reunion with Seo Jang Hoon drawing particular attention.
The five featured athletes include Kang Lee-seul and Lee So-hee from the women's team, and Byun Jun-hyung, Lee Woo-seok, and Lee Jung-hyun from the men's team. They will bring their gold medals to the show to share behind-the-scenes stories from the tournament and engage in golden talks. Seo Jang Hoon, a gold medalist from the 2002 Busan Asian Games, will have a special meeting with these juniors who have won Asian Games gold medals 24 years later. Both the women's and men's teams defeated Japan in their respective finals to secure their victories.
Bloggers anticipate that the broadcast will feature cross-generational basketball discussions between Seo Jang Hoon and his juniors, covering topics such as the differences in national team atmosphere then and now, and the pressures of international competitions. Kang Lee-seul and Lee So-hee from the women's team are making their first variety show appearance since the final against Japan, and are expected to share vivid accounts of the game's flow and the team's atmosphere.
