Singer Lee Seung-gi and Jo Jae-seok are having a fun battle of connections in the entertainment industry, while actor Ju Jihoon makes a surprise appearance to add to the laughter.
In the 7th episode of Mnet's 'L1VE WIRE' airing today (1st), Lee Seung-gi, now in his 21st year since debut, and newcomer Jo Jae-seok, who debuted 7 months ago, will appear together to showcase their witty banter and emotional performances, demonstrating their 'unexpected chemistry'.
On that day, MC Jung Jae-hyung opened by saying, 'Since Lee Seung-gi debuted early, he has around 2,000 connections in the entertainment industry.' In response, Lee Seung-gi explained, 'I used to host about 100 talk shows, and since 20 people appeared per episode, nearly 2,000 people have been through. I have friends in various fields.'
In response, Code Kunst noted, 'Jo Jae-seok is no easy opponent. He might even have more than 2,000 connections.' Jo Jae-seok replied, 'I run a jazz bar, so quite a few people have come by, including Samdi, Kim Nam-gil, Lee Min-ho, Ko Kyung-pyo, Lee Dong-hwi, and my beloved actor Ju Jihoon,' boasting of his extraordinary connections.
Jo Jae-seok then said, 'Before today's 'L1VE WIRE' shoot, I was feeling tense, so someone suggested a phone connection to boost my spirits,' and he instantaneously attempted to connect the call, surprising everyone. Jung Jae-hyung laughed, saying, 'Wasn't phone connection something that ended 20 years ago on broadcasts?'
The person who appeared on the other end of the phone was none other than actor Ju Jihoon. Introducing himself as 'Ju Jihoon from Hannam-dong,' he jokingly asked Jung Jae-hyung, 'Aren't you the one who cooks?' creating chaos in the studio. Capturing the atmosphere with his uniquely cheerful banter, Ju Jihoon triggered another burst of laughter when Jung Jae-hyung suggested he appear on 'L1VE WIRE,' saying, 'I watched the episode featuring Ozone and Car The Garden...,' prompting curiosity about how Ju Jihoon would respond to the invitation.
The unique encounter between Lee Seung-gi and Jo Jae-seok, as well as the explosive talent of both individuals, will be showcased in the 7th episode of Mnet's 'L1VE WIRE,' which will be broadcast simultaneously on Mnet and tvN at 7 p.m. on August 1 (today).
