Comedian Hwang Je-seong claimed the top spot in an appearance ranking on "Tasty Guys."

In a recent episode of the Comedy TV variety program, cast members Kim Jun-hyeon, Moon Se-yun, Hwang Je-seong and Kim Hae-jun visited a fried chicken restaurant at the foot of Bugaksan for a "Santa Tubby" special.

That day, the production team ran a mission in which the cast had to guess their own appearance rankings, determined by an anonymous staff vote.

Before the results were revealed, the youngest writer on the team mentioned that her ideal type was D.O. (real name Do Kyung-soo), an EXO member and actor. Hwang immediately claimed, "My nickname used to be D.O. back in the day." Kim Jun-hyeon fired back: "Just because your face got scorched doesn't make you D.O." — drawing laughter from the group.

When the results were announced, Hwang came in first. Moon Se-yun placed second, Kim Hae-jun third and Kim Jun-hyeon fourth.

Every time Moon tried to speak, Hwang cut him off with a smug "Quiet! You're not as good-looking as me."

Cast members who failed to guess the rankings correctly then drew lots to determine who would carry out a "just one bite" penalty. Kim Jun-hyeon said, "It would be the worst if I got picked here" — and when he did, he slumped in dismay.

When the top-ranked members began trading compliments and toasting to being "handsome," Kim shot back, "You're only first, second and third because I'm here," drawing another round of laughs.
