Actor Cho Jung-seok is in for a role reversal on SBS’s "Manager Seojin", blowing up with laughter and disbelief as he ends up waiting on his “managers” Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu instead of the other way around.
The Nov. 21 episode of the Friday variety series "Manager Seojin" features the multi-talented Cho as this week’s “my star,” teaming up with Lee and Kim for a day in the life.
Cameras follow Cho to the set of "My Little Old Boy," then to band rehearsals as he preps for his first nationwide concert tour. From the jump, the vibe is chaotic: Cho admits, “I’ve got a bad feeling about today―I might be the one looking after the hyungs,” and, right on cue, a dead car battery sets off a chain of mishaps.
Close friends off-camera, Lee and Kim keep things loose―sometimes a little too loose―leading to a string of fumbles. In a first for the show, the “my star” even takes the wheel himself, prompting Cho to crack, “What annoys me is how natural this looks.”
"Manager Seojin" will also unveil Cho’s concert rehearsal for the first time on TV. The "Aloha" hitmaker, known for his emotive vocals, heats up the studio with a smooth live run-through. Sensing an opening, self-professed “second-album singer” Kim Kwang-kyu volunteers as a guest and throws himself into an impromptu audition. Will he make the cut?
Cho Jung-seok’s bumpy day with the "Manager Seojin" crew airs tonight at 11:10 p.m. KST on SBS.
