Fifth-generation K-pop idols, BoyNextDoor's Myeong Jae-hyun, ILLIT's Won-hee, IZ*NA's Bang Ji-min, and Hearts2Hearts' IAAN will appear on "Amazing Saturday."
The April 18 broadcast at 7:40 p.m. of "Amazing Saturday" (hereinafter "Amazing Sat.") will feature Myeong Jae-hyun, Won-hee, Bang Ji-min and IAAN, who plan to richly fill the long-awaited first-ever "Amazing Sat." jewelry box special with their special presence.
Myeong Jae-hyun, Won-hee, Bang Ji-min and IAAN make a strong entrance with a dance debut that swings between cute and powerful. True to their status as representative K-pop gems of the fifth generation, they shook the studio from the start and also showed fresh rookie variety charms. First, Myeong Jae-hyun revealed an ambitious goal to "become a broadcast-time monster," following senior P.O.'s advice, and IAAN also expressed determination to challenge the dictation ace after receiving encouragement from direct seniors Taeyeon and KEY. Bang Ji-min, who calls herself a "foodie," brought laughter by boasting a confident wit, saying she can express flavors superbly.
The guests fully displayed their four distinct charms in the appetizer team game "Act it out — idol song edition." From Won-hee, who let out an enthusiastic pterosaur(?) vocalization, to IAAN, who provoked the opposing team, to Bang Ji-min, who hard-carried without restraint, they unleashed a competitive spirit never seen before. In addition, the tense mind games among the Doremi members led to each team presenting outlandish strategies, and they even showcased sing-alongs that bridged the generation gap, highlighting shining teamwork.
For the main dictation, an extremely difficult song was chosen, and Myeong Jae-hyun, who vowed to become a broadcast-time monster, burned with determination aiming to be a dictation genius. A surprise seal impression skill performed to get hints reportedly devastated the set. Won-hee, saying she wanted to learn a trick from Moon Se-yoon's variety sense, showed an unexpected vocal imitation; thanks to considerate Han-hae's concession(?), she got absorbed in sly acting and Bang Ji-min even reenacted a legendary idol fancam; IAAN raised expectations with an ingenious, MZ-appropriate personal skill. Also, in the dessert game "Initial consonant quiz — snack edition," the four guests reportedly engaged in a free-for-all of nonsense in a bid to get a chance to promote their new songs, adding to the intrigue.
tvN's weekend variety show "Amazing Saturday" airs every Saturday at 7:40 p.m.
