SBS's 'My Dear Manager' Heats Up with Stellar Guest Lineup: Jo Jung-suk, Han Ji-min, and O.D.D.
SBS Friday variety show 'My Dear Manager' (hereinafter referred to as 'Manager') is capturing viewers' attention with its increasingly impressive guest lineup.
Actor Jo Jung-suk will be the first guest to appear. In a recently released preview, Jo Jung-suk expressed his characteristic witty concern, saying, "I'm worried about today. I feel like I'll have to take care of the hyungs." His playful grumbling while taking the steering wheel, stating, "It's annoying how natural this scene looks," has sparked curiosity about his performance in the actual broadcast. Expectations are high for how this versatile musician and actor will conquer 'Manager' and showcase his multi-talented 'My Star' persona.
Following him, the co-ed group O.D.D (Oh-Daily-Dose) is set to appear. O.D.D is drawing attention as the first idol group to be served by the 'Manager' staff. With five members to manage simultaneously, viewers are already excited to see how Lee Seo-jin and Kim Gwang-gyu will handle 'care for five servings' and what their division of labor as managers will look like.
Furthermore, the appearance of 'romance maestro' actress Han Ji-min has further elevated viewer expectations. This appearance is particularly generating buzz as it marks the reunion of Lee Seo-jin and Han Ji-min, who played lovers in the drama 'Yi San' 18 years ago, on a variety show after a long time. The two were loved as the 'national couple' after 'Yi San' in 2007, achieving a peak viewership rating of 35.5%, and are known to have maintained a strong bond, consistently cheering each other on. Anticipation is mounting for the natural chemistry and new episodes they will create on 'Manager' given their long-standing relationship.
The production team stated, "We plan to continue depicting the honest daily lives of stars active in various fields," and added, "We will keep showcasing the unique charm of 'Manager's' distinctive observational variety format." 'Manager' airs every Friday at 11:10 PM KST.
Korean netizens are expressing excitement, with comments like, "Wow, I'm really looking forward to Jo Jung-suk! He'll probably show his acting genius on variety shows too!" and "Han Ji-min and Lee Seo-jin, the 'Yi San' couple reuniting! This is a must-watch!" Another netizen commented, "O.D.D, the first idol group to be assigned hard labor on a variety show lol, it's going to be hilarious!"
