Lee Seo-jin & Kim Kwang-kyu's 'My Grumpy Secretary' Returns for a More Covertle Season; Premiering on August 28

Actors Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu are returning with a new season of the SBS variety show "My Grumpy Secretary", which provides close-up care for stars.

On August 4, SBS announced that the new season of "My Grumpy Secretary" has confirmed its premiere for Friday, August 28 at 11:10 PM.

During its previous run, "My Grumpy Secretary" proved its explosive popularity by taking first place in its time slot from its very first episode and surpassing 170 million cumulative views for broadcast clips and highlight videos. It also swept TV, digital, and OTT markets simultaneously, ranking first in the variety show category on Netflix under "Today's Top Series in South Korea".

The newly returning "My Grumpy Secretary" has previewed a transformation into "real secretaries" who go beyond simple managerial roles. They plan to provide close-up care for stars' daily lives, not only handling official schedules but also taking charge of covert and private areas that were difficult for traditional managers to access.

Through meticulous attention in anticipating what stars need and in-depth conversations sharing worries they could never bring up anywhere else, the show is expected to draw out the raw charms and sincere inner thoughts of stars off the stage.

As previous season cast member Choi Hwa-jung previously stated, "It's great that 'My Grumpy Secretary' is closer and more covert than a manager," the tighter trust and relationship between the stars and their secretaries are expected to bring unique laughter and empathy.

"My Grumpy Secretary," featuring the close-up care of "real secretaries" who are closer and more covert than managers, will premiere on Friday, August 28 at 11:10 PM.
