The two expressed, “Singing well is a given, but we are looking for those who embody the 80s vibe,” raising curiosity about whether they can find voices that can stylishly deliver the classic hits of the 80s.

The office scenery, where the two seem to have traveled back in time to the 80s, also draws viewers in. Audition participants are sending in ‘recording tapes’ to catch attention. The applicants' nicknames are also named after famous places in 80s Seoul, aiming to evoke nostalgia. It raises curiosity about who the owners of the recording tapes might be.

Among them, Joo Woo-jae and Lee Yi-kyung have also applied for the surprise audition, generating excitement. They reportedly sang 80s songs with an unexpected twist. It will be interesting to see if Yoo Jae-suk and Haha can recognize Joo Woo-jae and Lee Yi-kyung among the various voices and what their reactions will be.

The first steps of PD Yoo and writer Haha for the ‘80s MBC Seoul Music Festival’ can be seen in the MBC program ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ airing on July 26 at 6:30 PM.
