[Sports Today reporter Kim Tae-hyung] Actor Kim Soo-ro says he even moved into the same apartment building to get close to Um Ki-joon.

SBS's Wait, Seriously! airs at 10:10 p.m. on the 30th and will feature actors Kim Soo-ro, Um Ki-joon and Park Gun-hyung. The three join the four hosts to share long-buried anecdotes that promise plenty of laughs.

In the episode, Um Ki-joon and Park Gun-hyung reveal they've been caught in Kim Soo-ro's scheme for two decades, a confession that piqued viewers' interest. Kim Soo-ro admits he actually moved into the same apartment to set the trap, sending the studio into laughter. Kai also says he fell into Kim's web: after enjoying a glass of expensive wine, he was unexpectedly whisked off to shoot in the U.K., a revelation that surprised everyone.

The program also uncovers an unexpected side of Um Ki-joon, known for playing villains. Reserved and economical with words, he insists he never speaks empty promises — and says he genuinely believed a joking drinking invitation Lee Su-ji made on another show, waiting for it in earnest. That innocent streak drew laughs. He even shyly admitted, "I'm actually 30 to 40 percent cute," and turned on the charm toward Tak Jae-hoon, reportedly sending the set into an uproar.

The taping also produced a mock "violence showdown." When the cast debated which is harder — acting as if you're being hit or acting while hitting someone — Tak Jae-hoon asked them to demonstrate both. Their method-acting scuffle had the studio roaring with laughter.

They also shared an awkward on-set moment Um Ki-joon experienced. He recalled filming a late-night, intense scene in a hillside neighborhood when a resident scolded the crew for the noise and told them to move the shoot. He laughed about nearly being chased away, showing an embarrassed smile as he told the story.
