Gay comedian Hong Seok-cheon shed his clothes on a TV show to demonstrate his swimming skills.

KBS2’s “Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education” on Tuesday

invited Hong to swim in a race against four of the show’s regular members.

The fun was not so much in seeing how skillful the celebrities are at swimming as checking out the half-naked bodies of the male participants.

Before the race, Hong demonstrated his backstroke but ended up short of breath, making a fool of him.

The program challenges celebrities to learn a variety of sports and play against people from local sports communities.
