MBC's variety show 'How Do You Play?' is heating up with preparations for the '80s Seoul Music Festival', featuring Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Joo Woo-jae, and Lee Yi-kyung as the production team.

During an important meeting, Joo Woo-jae, who has been relegated to the role of the 'youngest writer' by the younger but more senior Lee Yi-kyung, finds himself tasked with errands, much to the amusement of the crew. Lee Yi-kyung, despite being younger, secures the second-in-command writer position after Haha due to his longer tenure, while Joo Woo-jae reluctantly accepts his 'maknae' status with playful protests, eliciting laughter.

Host Yoo Jae-suk advises the team not to treat Joo Woo-jae like a younger sibling, considering his age, yet playfully chides him for being too assertive, asking, "Why are you acting out so much?". Haha joins in, remarking, "Why is he acting like this today?".

Undeterred, Joo Woo-jae even manages a subtle act of revenge against Yoo Jae-suk during a juice errand, showing his unyielding spirit as the 'youngest writer'. Yoo Jae-suk jokes, "Just be like a plant," referring to Joo Woo-jae's natural ability to blend in with the greenery, further adding to the comedic atmosphere. The trials of Joo Woo-jae, the '40-year-old maknae writer', can be seen on 'How Do You Play?' airing this Saturday, September 6th, at 6:30 PM KST.

Joo Woo-jae, born in 1986, is active as a model and broadcaster, beloved for his witty remarks and fashion sense.

He has solidified his position as a regular cast member on 'How Do You Play?' through his chemistry with the other members.

In the show, he plays the character of the 'youngest writer', consistently delivering unexpected comedic moments.
