SBS’s Thursday variety series "My Turn" corrals Lee Kyung-kyu, Tak Jae-hoon, Choo Sung-hoon, Lee Su-ji (Halla), Kim Won-hoon, Park Jihyeon, and Nam Yoon-su into a fictional trot-idol group, sparking unpredictable, desire-fueled antics in an absurdist fake-reality format. Since its premiere, the show’s short-form clips have been blowing up across social media, and it has spent six straight weeks in Netflix’s Top 10 in Korea.
Episode 7, airing Sept. 18 at 9 p.m., tees up a wild soap of “love and war” ― and straight-up revenge ― within the Ppongtan Boys crew.
First up: after sealing their “forever” with matching couple tattoos last week, Tak and Kim hit the brakes hard. Kim abruptly says, “Let’s break up.” Stunned, Tak clings to her sleeve ― “I can’t live without you” ― only to get iced with, “Why are you so clingy-” He ends up sobbing on the street, so shattered he can barely speak. Will their hard-won, age-gap romance really end here? Viewers are glued to the fallout.
In the wake of the split, a new love triangle starts to spark. Over drinks and past-romance confessions, Park Jihyeon bristles at the “lifelong single” label, insisting, “I did it all in high school ― I was no joke,” before doubling down with, “I had my first kiss right in front of my house,” sending the table into chaos. Meanwhile, with Park briefly away, Nam Yoon-su plants a surprise kiss on a sleeping Lee Su-ji ― and Park catches it, triggering a rush of complicated feelings. Consider the forbidden triangle officially lit.
There’s more: Lee Su-ji (Halla)’s hush-hush past bubbles to the surface. After last week’s shocker ― Park realizing Halla is a woman ― Choo Sung-hoon digs up another bombshell. He catches Lee Su-ji hiding a notorious “Lee Kyung-kyu eyeballs-for-sale” photo, and she pleads, “Keep it secret. It’s my wish,” raising even more questions about what the picture really is. On top of that, the show reveals Lee Su-ji is the sister of "Mr. Trot 3"s contestant Cheon Rokdam ― and their explosive family saga. The siblings even claim, “Lee Kyung-kyu is the reason our family fell apart,” promising a very real revenge arc to come.
Love, payback, and pure chaos collide when "My Turn" airs tonight at 9 p.m. on SBS.
