Seo Jang Hoon is part of the squad that messed up the hearts of Filipinos during the 2002 Busan Asian Games.
Apart from being OUR bully, the 6'10 center is a two-time KBL MVP for the Cheongju SK Knights (now Seoul SK Knights) and the Seoul Samsung Thunders. Seoul SK is where Juan Gomez de Liano has played since 2023 while this is Justin Gutang's first season with the Thunders after spending two seasons with the Changwon LG Sakers, which is currently where Carl Tamayo plays.
Jang Hoon won gold for his country in the 2002 Busan Asian Games and the 1997 ABC Championship. He also has two Asiad silver medals and is currently a fixture in Knowing Bros and My Little Old Boy.
Now, Ha Seung Jin is a different breed of awesomeness. He never won the KBL MVP award but he led the Jeonju KCC Egis, the team Calvin Epistola plays at the moment, to two KBL championships. Furthermore, Seung Jin is the first and only Korean baller to play in the NBA. He was the 46th pick of the 2004 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers, where he averaged 1.5ppg, 1.5rpg, and 52 percent shooting in 46 games.
I can't find his game highlights.
And all of a sudden, I remembered the heartache the Filipinos had against Korea.
So instead of posting his good game clips, here's Ha getting schooled by Yao Ming.
After finishing his basketball career, Ha also moved to broadcasting, with his most notable role being a part of the second season of The Bloody Game.
These two had moments on the court, but when Ha returned after his NBA stint, Seo was on the verge of retirement.
That said, these two kind of rekindled their rivalry when Seung Jin guested in Knowing Bros.
In this competitive parlor game, they lead a bunch of singers and comedians (and also one volleyball player) in a game of moving basketball ring.
The game got imbalanced quickly because it also ignited the competitive drive of Kang Ho Dong.
