Lee Je-hoon Scores Big on the Basketball Court in 'Seize the Moment!'

Actor Lee Je-hoon is making headlines not just as a taxi driver, but now on the basketball court in the latest episode of SBS's variety show 'Seize the Moment!'

The show, which recently garnered impressive ratings with its 35th episode, ranked first in its timeslot for viewership and the key demographic of 2049-year-olds. The latest installment features hosts Yoo Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, Lee Je-hoon, and Pyo Ye-jin, showcasing their intense competitive spirit despite the cold weather.

The mission for this episode involved a basketball shooting challenge. While Pyo Ye-jin expressed surprise at the height of the hoop, and others struggled from the standard free-throw line, Lee Je-hoon confidently stepped up to the three-point line. To everyone's astonishment, he sank a shot immediately, electrifying the set.

What truly amazed the audience was Lee Je-hoon's ability to make consecutive shots, even while wearing dress shoes. The student basketball players even chanted 'Kim Do-gi, Kim Do-gi!', referencing his iconic character from 'Taxi Driver'. Seemingly fueled by the 'Taxi Hero' persona, Lee Je-hoon exclaimed, 'I'm getting so much dopamine,' and continued his impressive performance.

Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-seok showed his 'real-life weakling' side, appearing visibly nervous for the mission, which was returning after a four-month hiatus. When a bonus coupon opportunity arose, he playfully squabbled with Pyo Ye-jin over the chance to be substituted, eventually pleading, 'Ye-jin-ah, please, I'll step down,' drawing laughter from the cast and crew.

Will Lee Je-hoon's 'Taxi Hero' luck translate to the basketball court? Tune into the thrilling basketball showdown with Yoo Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, Lee Je-hoon, and Pyo Ye-jin on 'Seize the Moment!' airing tonight (16th) at 9 PM KST.

Korean netizens are buzzing about Lee Je-hoon's unexpected basketball skills, with comments like 'Lee Je-hoon shooting looks so cool! Just like Kim Do-gi!' and 'Consecutive shots, is that for real?!' Others found Yoo Jae-seok's nervousness amusing, adding 'Yoo Jae-seok looking tense is hilarious.'
