Bae Jung-nam's team and Joo Woo-jae's team engaged in a fashion war.
The MBC entertainment program ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Jang Woo-sung, Jang Hyo-jong, Wang Jong-seok, written by Choi Hye-jung) aired on the afternoon of the 21st, themed ‘What Do You Wear When You Play?’.
On this day’s broadcast, model and actor Bae Jung-nam appeared, warning that he would have a fashion showdown with Joo Woo-jae. In response, Joo Woo-jae said, “My assistant is coming today,” calling for model Kang Cheol-woong, and Yoo Jae-suk marveled, “The boss is dressing up, so it’s different.” Bae Jung-nam countered, “Don’t you know? He’s a model!” and Kang Cheol-woong complimented Bae Jung-nam, saying, “He’s a legendary model.”
Joo Woo-jae stated, “I have my own firm beliefs, so I’m not shaken at all,” while Bae Jung-nam declared, “I’m the legs for Woo-jae. Strong! I like avant-garde and vintage styles,” solidifying his determination. Bae Jung-nam's team included Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Yi-kyung, and Park Jin-joo, while Joo Woo-jae's team included Ha Ha, Lee Mi-joo, and Kang Cheol-woong.
Bae Jung-nam, who first headed to a shop he knew, expressed confidence, saying, “Being good at vintage shopping is a real skill. There are no same sizes. First, I need to look at the clothes in the store.” Lee Yi-kyung eagerly asked, “How much is today’s styling?”
After arriving at a store filled with vintage clothing, Bae Jung-nam said, “Hyung, you go for European preppy style, Yi-kyung, let’s go classic. Jin-joo, let’s coordinate based on the clothes here. Then, let’s pick the clothes we want to wear first, and I’ll take a look at the clothes too. You have to see everything. You need to scan the whole place. Vintage needs to have the right size, but this is a big problem,” entering work mode.
As he looked at clothes and accessories one by one, he decided on Lee Yi-kyung as the first fitting model. When he encountered Yi-kyung in thermal underwear, Bae Jung-nam couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “You’ve really let it all hang out... Are you not going to act anymore?” Yi-kyung, who was only dressed in the top, worried, “I asked you to put on pants, why are you only putting on pants?” and Bae Jung-nam reassured him, “There are no pants. I want to put pants on you too... but right now, it’s good~,” eliciting laughter.
Next, Jung-nam brought items for Jae-suk’s styling, and Jae-suk said, “Jin-joo, help me out!” However, when Jung-nam boldly said, “Throw Jin-joo away,” the room burst into laughter.
However, when Yoo Jae-suk, dressed in a vintage preppy look, opposed the styling, saying, “If I wear this, we can’t win against that team,” Jung-nam suggested, “Then, do you want to completely abandon your fashion and try something like a leather jacket?” Despite this, as he couldn’t find clothes he liked, he moved to the next store, and their troubles continued.
At the same time, Joo Woo-jae's team visited a boutique with various styles, where Joo Woo-jae explained his fashion motto: “To make it easy for anyone to follow, without stepping out of everyday life.”
He first decided to choose clothes for Ha Ha, who revealed, “I really like wearing matching tops and bottoms,” and Woo-jae said, “I know the style that Ha Ha usually wears, but today I will focus on showing a different look. And since Cheol-woong has worked in a clothing store for five years, I’ll ask him to help Mi-joo,” as he scanned the clothes.
In a serious demeanor unlike usual, he asked, “Is there any first-generation stuff?” and “Is there a setup among the one-washes?” using professional terms to meticulously check Ha Ha’s fashion. After dressing Ha Ha in a new style, he said, “I really wanted to see you like this,” smoothly continuing the styling.
He then suggested, “Mi-joo always wears lively, girlish clothes, right? But today, I want to give it a heavier feel,” proposing different clothes than usual. He also mentioned, “Cheol-woong has an elegant and dressy vibe that only acquaintances know,” coordinating a suede jacket and quickly matching it with a small scarf.
The members headed to a meat restaurant with a daily fashion judging panel, and Jung-nam's team decided to have lunch before Joo Woo-jae's team arrived. Seeing a junior model, Bae Jung-nam exclaimed, “Wow, look at this! Is it your mom’s? She actually wears this much. Women’s clothes!” as he checked the fashion and asked, “How is it?” while putting on the clothes of model Yeo In-woo, leaving Yoo Jae-suk dumbfounded.
As they took turns serving food, Yoo Jae-suk laughed, saying, “Why do they keep changing? Why do they come one by one?”
The eight-member model judging panel made their entrance by showcasing their walking, first examining the photoshoot of Bae Jung-nam's team. After looking at the photos of Park Jin-joo, Lee Yi-kyung, Yoo Jae-suk, and Bae Jung-nam, the juniors commented, “The most eye-catching was Yi-kyung’s photo. The layered skirt was nice, and matching the hat and boots was great. It was creative,” “I liked Jae-suk’s color sense, and the completion of fashion is in the photo, and it was really good,” “Bae Jung-nam’s tone-on-tone color patch was nice,” providing honest feedback.
Next, after viewing the photoshoot of Joo Woo-jae's team, including Lee Mi-joo, Ha Ha, Kang Cheol-woong, and Joo Woo-jae, the juniors remarked, “As expected, the completion of fashion is the face,” “Personally, I like Ha Ha sunbae,” “Giving points in the clothes is the easiest yet hardest thing, but I liked how he rolled up the plain jeans,” offering their evaluations.
After the fashion reviews of both teams concluded, the judging panel selected the best shot, unexpectedly choosing Lee Mi-joo. They explained, “I think viewers can follow this look,” and “You look so pretty,” revealing the reason for choosing Lee Mi-joo, while Joo Woo-jae said, “Honestly, as soon as I saw the outfit, I thought we lost. Competing against Bae Jung-nam sunbae is absurd,” wrapping up on a cheerful note.
MBC’s ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM.
