Yang Sang-guk is leaning all the way into his now-viral ‘Gimhae Crown Prince’ persona—and the chaos is only getting bigger.

On the April 4 broadcast of Hangout with Yoo, the show continues the storyline built around his “royal visit” to Seoul, a concept that first gained traction after online comments pointed out his resemblance to a crown prince.

What started as a joke has quickly turned into a full-on character.

In the episode, Yoo Jae-suk and Joo Woo-jae appear as attendants, while Haha and Heo Kyung-hwan fully commit as “royal dogs,” pushing the concept even further.

At one point, Joo Woo-jae jokes, “It’s like we’re walking the dogs,” capturing the playful tone of the segment.

Yang’s commitment to the role is what holds it all together. Balancing a straight-faced “royal” attitude with the absurdity around him, he turns the setup into a series of comedic moments built on interaction and timing.

The show itself has been riding strong momentum, with clips gaining traction online and drawing steady attention across platforms.

With the ‘Gimhae Crown Prince’ concept continuing to evolve, viewers can expect even more unpredictable moments as the character takes on a life of its own.

Catch the episode on April 4 at 6:30 p.m.
