The '80s Seoul Music Awards' winners' stories behind the preliminaries are revealed.

On Aug. 23, MBC's entertainment program 'What Do You Do When You Play?' (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Lee Joo-won, Ahn Ji-sun, Lee Do-eun, Bang Seong-su, written by Noh Min-sun) will finally showcase the preliminaries winners of the '80s Seoul Music Awards' gathering in one place to reveal their identities. As various speculations and predictions about the contestants' identities surfaced after the preliminaries, attention is focused on their first meeting.

Singing Namie's 'Binggeulbinggeul' and Lee Moon-sae's 'Girl', the group New York Confectionery has been the subject of fan speculations post-preliminaries, with comments suggesting they resemble IVE's Lee Jisoo. New York Confectionery shared their thoughts on Lee Jisoo's live video on social media after being prompted by fans and whimsically joked in response to Yoo Jae-seok's probing. Curiosity is piqued about whether New York Confectionery's identity is indeed Lee Jisoo.

The group Jamsu Bridge, which sang Jeon Won-seok's 'Don't Leave', received scrutiny from Yoo Jae-seok, who remarked that their voice and gestures embodied the sentiment of the 1980s and suspected they were over 40 years old. Jamsu Bridge appeared especially youthful, having paid attention to their attire, leading to curiosity about their actual age.

Meanwhile, there was a close-up of toned arms, prompting Yoo Jae-seok and Haha to strongly speculate that Mido Plaza is an athlete, resulting in humorous protests from her. Curiosity is spurred about whether her identity is that of a real athlete.

The group Jongno Bookstore sang Nami's 'Sad Fate' and Byun Jin-seob's 'Once Again' with a clean high note, leading to speculation that they may be the singer WOODZ, who created a reverse-run myth with the song 'Drowning' during a hiatus (military + hiatus). Jongno Bookstore revealed a surprising backstory about almost missing the music awards preliminaries by just one day.

Including Jongno Bookstore's miraculous(?) backstory of participating in the music awards, the reviews from the winners of the '80s Seoul Music Awards' preliminaries will be fully revealed on MBC's 'What Do You Do When You Play?' which airs on Saturday, Aug. 23, at 6:30 p.m.
