Yook Jun-seo revealed that he talks to Lee Si-an every night when asked if they are dating.
On the afternoon of the 29th, Yook Jun-seo and Lee Young-ja appeared on the MBC entertainment program 'The Manager's Perspective' (hereafter 'The Manager').
On this day, Yook Jun-seo was the first guest to be featured. He checked his appearance briefly at the sink as soon as he woke up and then sat down at his studio desk. His manager said, "He is currently working as a music writer and is collaborating with Yook Jun-seo's team due to an exhibition that combined art."
He continued, "I've known Jun-seo since high school. Many people think of him as cool and handsome, but he is actually a bit lacking and is a comedic character among friends. He is not just handsome; there are some shortcomings."
While Yook Jun-seo was drawing a massive 7-meter artwork, photographer Park Seung-yoon appeared with his manager. After working, the three of them got into a truck, and the manager explained, "When the artwork is large, we have to choose a vehicle that can handle over 10 meters. So, Jun-seo is using the vehicle that his father used. Jun-seo is not a good driver. He has had his license for just over a year."
Yook Jun-seo asked, "Is 'Solo Hell 4' a place where alpha males gather? But it seems like you want to ask why I am on a show with alpha males?" The manager replied, "I've seen you since you were young. Honestly, you became famous for being handsome. I saw comments yesterday, and all your nicknames are increasing. Middle face... long face..." and couldn't hold back his laughter.
He added, "Recently, I heard that the middle face is 40cm. In fact, it was the first time I heard that word. You should have been on Easter Island," showing their close friendship and making everyone burst into laughter.
As they laughed uncontrollably, the three of them arrived at their destination and moved busily. The manager introduced, "Jun-seo's father organized a furniture factory and started a furniture workshop as a side job. We stopped by briefly because it also serves as a second studio for storing artworks and materials."
The three of them, who planned to create a piece using pig bones, took the bones out of the dryer, and Jun-seo's father asked, "Are you going to do this, and do you have a girlfriend on YouTube or not?" which made the panel members burst into laughter.
His father continued to be curious, saying, "The townspeople all ask too," but Yook Jun-seo replied, "We all get along well," and did not elaborate further. Once they returned to the studio, the three continued working with the pig bones and even invited a florist to speed up the process.
After combining flowers with the pig bones, the four of them finished photographing the artwork just past midnight.
The next day, Yook Jun-seo met Lee Si-an, Kim Min-seol, and Kim Jung-soo, who also appeared on 'Solo Hell 4'. Yook Jun-seo greeted, "How have you been?" and Lee Si-an replied, "I'm nervous," while just smiling.
When oil from the meat splattered on Lee Si-an's leg, Yook Jun-seo showed a caring side, saying, "Please give me an apron! Be careful!" which piqued the panel's curiosity.
Yook Jun-seo mentioned, "I saw a comment saying Australopithecus, thank you. That was the person I faced," and Lee Si-an responded, "Oppa, you are surprisingly delicate?" showing a caring demeanor.
Yook Jun-seo replied to Lee Si-an's comment, "Was I not supposed to do this on a broadcast... But I would do the same if I went back," and revealed, "Even in bed? Actually, Si-an knows, but we held hands in bed," making Lee Si-an embarrassed. Kim Jung-soo commented, "After watching the broadcast, I thought, 'If there is such a narrative, it makes sense'."
Lee Si-an boldly stated, "I just wanted to sleep together," and Yook Jun-seo agreed, saying, "That means I wanted to be close too."
As they were frequently seen being affectionate, Lee Young-ja asked, "Are you two being honest, or is it just a brother-sister relationship?" but Yook Jun-seo evaded the question, saying, "We're just like brother and sister," leaving the panel feeling frustrated.
The second guest featured was Lee Young-ja. Jeon Hyun-moo, Ha Jung-woo, Hong Hyun-hee, Park Byeong-eun, and Lee Dong-hwi visited Lee Young-ja's house to prepare dinner. Ha Jung-woo said, "I make it in a European style," and made a fresh salad, which Jeon Hyun-moo praised, saying, "Wow~ Sister! You just threw it together without measuring? The seasoning is just right."
At the same time, Park Byeong-eun was preparing cuttlefish, and Lee Dong-hwi was cutting pine trees.
When Ha Jung-woo's second salad failed, Lee Young-ja commented, "It lacks charm. It doesn't have that sharpness... In this case, you need to add some broth. Using broth makes it tastier," and she revived the salad using dried pollack broth. After tasting it, Jeon Hyun-moo exclaimed, "Sister! It really came back to life!" and Ha Jung-woo also said, "Hmm~ I think I know what it tastes like," enjoying the meal.
Once the rice was cooked, Lee Dong-hwi, who mentioned he was managing his diet, was seen eating three bowls of rice, indulging himself. Later, when Lee Young-ja introduced a hidden menu of outdoor shabu-shabu, the guests were excited, saying, "This is really amazing," and "Should we have a drink?"
During the meal, Lee Dong-hwi started, "Earlier, Hyung said I'm the best fashionista since my father..." Jeon Hyun-moo responded, "I once visited Kim Yong-gun's house, and his closet is better than most boutiques. I wore clothes he gave me, and everyone asked where I got them." When Hong Hyun-hee asked, "Do you give clothes to your son too?" Ha Jung-woo humorously replied, "Take my clothes," making everyone laugh.
Jeon Hyun-moo also mentioned, "I thought Ha Jung-woo disliked me. This is an important point. I saw him at the 'Blue Dragon Series Awards', right? I was the host, and he was the presenter. I introduced him and turned around to greet him, but he just ignored me. I was really hurt for two days, but then I thought maybe he didn't see me because there were so many people. Or maybe I made a mistake with Teacher Yong-gun," he said.
Ha Jung-woo replied, "Absolutely not. I often get misunderstood because I have a blank expression. I have poor eyesight, so when I wear glasses that don't have a prescription, I can't see anything," apologizing.
He continued, "I think I frowned because I couldn't see well. At the awards ceremony two years ago, I was asked several times if I felt bad about winning an award. Many people misunderstand when I don't speak or have a blank expression," he explained.
When the topic of marriage came up, Hong Hyun-hee laughed, saying, "Young-ja, you talk about marriage often now." Lee Young-ja replied, "You should experience being loved too~ The world changes. Usually, people meet to get married. But I want to get married because of this person," she said.
When Jeon Hyun-moo teased, "Is that Hwang Dong-joo?" Lee Young-ja replied, "We have our own pace," and kept her words to herself.
'The Manager's Perspective' airs every Saturday at 11:10 PM on MBC.
