Seo Jang-hoon Makes Surprise Cameo in 'My Turn' Finale, Sparks Laughter with Lee Su-ji

The SBS variety show 'One Hit Project - My Turn' ('My Turn') concluded its run yesterday, with a surprise appearance by Seo Jang-hoon in the final episode, significantly raising viewer anticipation.

In the grand finale, the 'Bongtan Boys' embarked on a greedy pursuit of success. Lee Kyung-gyu and his manager Kim Won-hoon personally sought investors, featuring Lee Su-ji, known as the 'master of sub-characters,' who appeared as a 'big shot of Chinese descent,' filling the set with laughter. However, the real twist unfolded when Seo Jang-hoon appeared as Lee Su-ji's boyfriend.

Seo Jang-hoon introduced Lee Su-ji as his 'wealthy girlfriend who resembles Tang Wei,' much to everyone's surprise. The couple's overly affectionate display left the cast and crew flustered. As an investor, Lee Su-ji then proposed a staggering condition: "I will invest 10 billion won if you replace Tak Jae-hoon with Seo Jang-hoon," throwing Lee Kyung-gyu into conflict. After a moment's deliberation, he succumbed to greed and abandoned Tak Jae-hoon. The situation took a sharp turn when the investor abruptly rescinded the investment offer, amplifying the suspense.

The episode didn't stop there. Driven by a hefty appearance fee, the members found themselves at the birthday party of the top boss of a gangster organization, 'Sikgu-pa.' The presence of actors with overwhelming charisma, including Jo Woo-jin, Park Ji-hwan, and Lee Kyu-hyung, amidst dozens of gangsters, placed the 'Bongtan Boys' in a perilous, life-threatening situation.

Despite it being a fictional scenario, viewers' curiosity exploded regarding the true identity of Seo Jang-hoon's 'wealthy girlfriend resembling Tang Wei.' Many speculated if she was his real-life girlfriend, but it was eventually revealed to be comedian Lee Su-ji's flawless sub-character performance, leaving the set in stitches once more. Netizens flooded social media with comments like, "Wow, I thought this was real," "It's hard to tell between reality and the show," "It was precarious but funny till the end," and "Congratulations on the couple(?)" expressing their continued enchantment with 'My Turn's' unique charm.
