JTBC 'Knowing Brother', which aired on the 15th, featured Woo Chang-yoon, an internal medicine specialist who runs the 'Doctor Friends' channel, Lee Nak-joon, an otolaryngologist, and Oh Jin-seung, a psychiatrist.
On this day, Woo Chang-yoon asked why he chose Seo Jang-hoon and Kang Ho-dong as the members of 「Knowing Brother」 that he wanted to see the most.」I also had a sense of challenge that I wanted to quit for 10-15 years when I was a doctor and try something else. However, it is a huge challenge for the two to peak in one career and then move on to another, and they have done it. I wanted to try something else someday" he said.
In response, Kang Ho-dong asked "Do you like wrestling or basketball?" and Woo Chang-yoon "I still play basketball now." I wouldn't do ssireum. Basketball is also at a disadvantage," he said, drawing laughter. Seo Jang-hoon, who watched this, looked happy, saying, `Looking at Chang-yoon, he is a doctor who gives faith to the patient.'
When asked why he chose his major, Woo Chang-yoon said, `Somehow, I graduated second place. Grades are important, too. People are flocking to popular departments, so I should have decided on the department first, but there were recommendations from around me, so I was going to go to the dermatologist. But the reason I entered medical school was because I wanted to see emotions come and go at the peak of my life and death. Then, I thought it wouldn't fit me at the dermatology department, so I thought about it for 2-3 months and decided to do internal medicine. So I applied for Asan Medical Center because I was wondering where the largest hospital in Korea was to do internal medicine," he replied.

He revealed his story by saying, "I help children a lot whenever they are sick." Then, Oh Jin-seung "The size of the nameplate varies depending on the donation amount, but Hodong is huge." It's a business."
Meanwhile, Kang donated 2 billion won raised by the sale of land in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province, to the Seoul Asan Medical Center Social Welfare Foundation to support medical expenses for children with poor family conditions in 2012.
