Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu step in as one-day managers for actors Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin on SBS’s Friday variety series "Manager Seojin". Expect cross-generational chemistry―and plenty of laughs―as the 20-year age gap turns into comedic gold.
"Manager Seojin", a hands-on road talk show where Lee and Kim act as “one-day managers” and babysit a star’s schedule, has quickly become a buzzy hit. After just three broadcasts, its short-form clips have racked up 10 million cumulative views online. On Netflix, the show has landed in South Korea’s Today’s Top 10 TV for three straight weeks, cracking the Top 5 amid fierce competition.
Airing Oct. 24, the episode welcomes Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin as its “My Star” guests. The duo co-stars in SBS’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama "Dynamic Kiss", premiering Nov. 12. Their “real couple” vibe is already popping from the pre-released stills, setting up an unpredictable crossover with "Manager Seojin"’s famously bickery duo.
Before the errands even begin, Jang and Ahn show they’re full-on "Manager Seojin" stans. They speed-run affectionate nicknames for Lee and Kim and keep chirping “let’s hang,” roping the managers into every plan. Caught off guard by the duo’s boundless energy, Lee and Kim end up facing some unexpectedly intense gofer duty.
To boost their guests’ drama, Lee and Kim even agree to special cameo appearances. Leading man Lee Seo-jin and prolific scene-stealer Kim Kwang-kyu will try on roles they’ve never played before, teasing an offbeat acting transformation.
Will the "Manager Seojin" crew bridge a 20-year age gap? Find out when the episode airs Oct. 24 at 11:10 p.m. KST on SBS.
