Singer Kangnam is set to make his first appearance on MBC's variety show 'The Manager' (Jeon Jijeok Chamgyeon Sijeom), showcasing a surprising range of charms.

The upcoming 366th episode, airing on the 27th, will feature a day in the life of Kangnam. Viewers will get a glimpse into his unique routine, starting with him checking his YouTube channel's view count right after waking up, demonstrating his dedication as a YouTuber. His constant refreshing of uploads and apparent obsession with viewer numbers are expected to bring fresh entertainment.

Furthermore, Kangnam will indulge in a 'cheat day' meal high in calories while his wife, speed skater Lee Sang-hwa, is away. It's reported that he didn't hesitate to add another pack of ramen when he messed up the water measurement, and his combination of ham and mayonnaise shocked the co-hosts.

His 'insider' status in Yongmun-dong will also be highlighted. With his characteristic friendliness, he exchanges warm greetings with market vendors, exuding a neighborly vibe. The episode is also expected to reveal behind-the-scenes stories of his viral YouTube video where he famously painted Lee Sang-hwa's expensive Porsche pink, further piquing viewers' interest.

Kangnam debuted in 2012 with the group M.I.B and has since been active as a solo artist and entertainer. His marriage to Olympic speed skater Lee Sang-hwa has also garnered significant public attention. He currently engages with fans through his YouTube channel 'Dongsan-gong'.
