Yoo Jae-suk is set to enhance the upcoming '80s Seoul Music Festival' by seeking out a talented female duo, as revealed in the latest episode of MBC's variety show 'How Do You Play?'.

The broadcast on the 6th will feature Yoo Jae-suk PD's earnest efforts to cast special performers for a hidden gem female duet song he's always wanted to include in the festival lineup. Previously, he expressed a desire for more female vocalists, noting the current limited number including MAMAMOO's Solar, Lalala, Choi Yuree, and IVE's Liz.

Yoo Jae-suk, along with Haha, Joo Woo-jae, and Lee Yi-kyung, convened to find the perfect female duo capable of harmonizing flawlessly for the special stage. The appearance of a unique female duo elicited an immediate harmonious response from Yoo Jae-suk, hinting at exceptional chemistry. He admitted the difficulty in finding suitable female duos in Korea, while Haha confidently asserted that only this particular duo could perform the song justice.

The meeting with the female duo, who seem to share a special connection, adds intrigue to the casting process. Their role in realizing Yoo Jae-suk PD's vision through a clear 'give and take' dynamic raises questions about the success of the recruitment. The identity of this duo and whether the casting proves successful will be unveiled on Saturday, September 6th, at 6:30 PM KST on MBC's 'How Do You Play?'.

Meanwhile, 'How Do You Play?' continues to solidify its position as Saturday's top-rated variety program, drawing significant attention and viewership with its '80s Seoul Music Festival' special.
