SBS's new variety show, 'My Manager is Too Grumpy - Seo-jin' (hereinafter 'Seo-jin'), is heightening anticipation with the release of concept teaser videos featuring Lee Seo-jin and Kim Gwang-gyu ahead of its premiere.

The show, set to air its first episode on Friday, October 3rd, at 9:50 PM KST, is a real road talk show where managers closely follow a star's schedule for a day. Lee Seo-jin and Kim Gwang-gyu will transform into 'grumpy but attentive managers,' aiming to draw out the stars' true selves and inner thoughts.

In the released teaser, Lee Seo-jin, dressed in a suit, shares his management philosophy with lines like 'If called, I go, even if not called, I go,' sparking viewers' curiosity. His candid and realistic attitude is evident when he responds to the production team's request with, 'You dub it then.'

Kim Gwang-gyu highlights his 'experienced manager' persona by introducing his diverse past experiences, including real estate brokerage, waiting, sales, and taxi driving, as 'build-up for today.' The teaser also hints at his realistic 'bromance' chemistry with Lee Seo-jin, promising an exciting dynamic between the two.

Lee Seo-jin is widely known as the 'National Porter' for his memorable appearances in various variety shows. His honest and sometimes prickly personality is expected to shine in this new role.
