The incredible magical day of magician Choi Hyun-woo has been revealed.
On the 20th, the MBC entertainment program ‘The Manager’s Perspective’ (hereafter ‘The Manager’s Perspective’) depicted the exciting daily life of geography instructor Lee Do and magician Choi Hyun-woo, filled with professional beauty.
Before revealing Lee Do's daily life, a special magic show using AI by Choi Hyun-woo was held in the studio. The cast members selected cards one by one according to his instructions, ultimately completing the combination of ‘Diamond 7’. Amazingly, Choi Hyun-woo seemed to predict the card the cast would complete, pulling out the same card from a pile on the table, shocking everyone.
Following this, the passionate daily life of star instructor Lee Do was broadcast. From the morning, she was busy preparing for the September mock exam explanation lecture. She showed exceptional enthusiasm by creating the PPT herself overnight and practicing a mock lecture in the living room. Even during her break, her smile while looking at the map showcased her true geography enthusiast side.
Meanwhile, Lee Do's lecture-appropriate fashion caught attention. Considering the characteristics of online lectures where only the upper body is visible, she wore a dress on top and training pants on the bottom as she headed to the shop.
As her assistant and manager Shin Yong-jeong said, “If I drive myself, I can’t do geography-related work, so I always use public transportation,” Lee Do was engrossed in her work, answering students' Q&A on her laptop even while on the subway. Even while getting her makeup done, she showcased her excellent lecturing skills, captivating viewers with stories about Gangnam being a new city and moving prestigious high schools to gather people.
Before the lecture began, Lee Do completed her preparations with perfect coordination with her manager and demonstrated professionalism by perfectly explaining three subjects: Korean Geography, World Geography, and Integrated Society over six hours. The next day, Lee Do and her manager went on a field trip together to take photos for the questions. They captured various scenic spots, including a location with a panoramic view of Seoul and the Suseong-dong valley, which underwent redevelopment twice. As a final stop, they took photos at the Daewang Taponi of Inwangsan while praying for the students preparing for the college entrance exam, adding warmth to the scene.
Next, the hypnotized Jeon Hyun-moo from last week was featured. He smoothly answered dopamine-inducing questions from the hypnosis expert and revealed his true feelings about Lee Young-ja, saying she was “scary,” while predicting that he would be the winner of this year’s entertainment award, causing laughter. Choi Hyun-woo made the audience burst into laughter by saying to the awakened Jeon Hyun-moo, “You’re an easy person to hypnotize.”
After Jeon Hyun-moo's hypnosis, the shocking live performance of Choi Hyun-woo's ‘Aphantasia’ was revealed. Choi Hyun-woo randomly selected two people from the audience to perform a telepathy magic act where they acted as one body, and also attempted a group hypnosis on all audience members. In this process, Jeon Hyun-moo served as the antenna connecting everyone’s subconscious. Choi Hyun-woo called the people who were hypnotized on stage and, with the word “sleep,” touched them to plunge them into deep hypnosis, leaving the studio in shock.
Moreover, Choi Hyun-woo showcased his overwhelming tarot skills, boasting 30 years of experience. He accurately guessed information that could only be known by the individuals, such as their wedding dates, occupations, and proposal songs, sending chills down the spines of the audience. The performance of the ‘Great Magician’ Choi Hyun-woo, which was hard to believe even when seen, concluded successfully with a standing ovation from the audience.
According to Nielsen Korea, ‘The Manager’s Perspective’ episode 365 achieved a 1.4% rating in the key demographic of 2049, and a 3.2% rating in the metropolitan area, ranking first among entertainment programs aired at the same time. In particular, when Jeon Hyun-moo was completely hypnotized, the scene where Choi Hyun-woo commented, “You’re an easy person to hypnotize,” reached a peak rating of 3.9% per minute, striking laughter among viewers.
Next week’s broadcast will feature the uniquely charming and sociable free husband(?) Kangnam, who will reveal his love house with Lee Sang-hwa, as well as his daily life of indulging in a diet that spikes blood sugar levels while avoiding his wife’s eyes.
Additionally, Park Jun-myeon, who is active as Kim Mi-sang in the hit drama ‘The Tyrant’s Chef,’ will make a reappearance, sharing his delicious recipes that captivated Lee Young-ja, as well as backstage tips for vocal care during the musical ‘Mamma Mia,’ generating anticipation.
MBC’s entertainment program ‘The Manager’s Perspective’ airs every Saturday at 11:10 PM.
