'Amazing Saturday' comedian Park Na-rae, who recently announced a suspension of activities and was embroiled in various controversies, was absent from the aired segment.
On the 13th episode of tvN variety show 'Amazing Saturday' (hereafter 'Amazing Sat'), guests Roy Kim, Daesung and Seo Eun-kwang appeared. Seo Eun-kwang said that after 13 years since his debut he would release a solo album and asked for much support. He tore through the opening with intense makeup and strong acting suited to the show's style and received cheers.
Daesung introduced himself saying, "I use the sound surname with a large 'dae' " and added, "It's been almost 15 years since I saw Taeyeon. We met on 'Family Outing.' At that time, when I said we're the same age and spoke casually, she reacted like this," recounting his acquaintance with Girls' Generation's Taeyeon. He said, "There was almost a love line but the producer said this isn't right. It didn't seem right for our Yeon. It's been a long time," saying he was a person with a conscience.
Then Key said, "It's been about 10 years since I've seen him," and greeted Daesung warmly. Daesung teased Key's concept saying, "I saw Kibeom with his hands in his pockets over there and wondered if the music industry had fallen apart," and scolded, "Shindong-yeop hyung is next to him with his hands in his pockets. Until I heard that, I thought I should give him a scolding," and chastised him.
Daesung said, "Coincidentally I released a trot song again. The timing is coincidental. It's a bit forced promotion. Anyway, the release date is Dec. 10," boasting about his concert. Daesung added, "The tour started in April and ended in October. With encore concerts we start again from Jan. We hold it in a handball stadium to do a quick back-and-forth with you," using wordplay while not forgetting to promote.
Shin Dong-yup transformed into the 'handsome man 2011' version and dressed as CNBLUE's Jung Yong-hwa from his early debut days. Roy Kim wore a multicolored jeogori with yeonji gonji applied for a distinctive look, and P.O. wore attire fitting Block B's concept from his debut. P.O. said, "It's something marine corps veterans do for fun," and did a marine corps salute with Roy Kim. Roy Kim said, "People who served in the marine corps can do it among themselves, but usually when people who've served in the military hear 'which class?' it's funny." The person who received their salute was the highest senior, Kim Dong-hyun.
When the lyric-guessing game started, Boom introduced, "Among recent idols this is the hottest idol. Their music chart performance is also remarkable. It's NMIXX's 'Blue Valentine,'" but faced with difficult lyrics Daesung grumbled, "The current music scene is a problem." Taeyeon asked, "Oh, are your ears okay?" and Daesung remained firm saying, "I think you shouldn't transform Hangul like this." Boom pointed out, "Didn't that start with GD?" to which Daesung replied, "Ah, sorry. My brother—"
That day Park Na-rae disappeared except for full shots during the opening and audio during the games. After former managers recently exposed Park Na-rae's abusive behavior and she was embroiled in various illegal allegations and called for a broadcast suspension, Park Na-rae barely appeared in this episode with a noticeably different screen time from last week. However, the appearances of entertainers still under public suspicion such as Shin Dong-yup, Key, Daesung and Roy Kim were shown intact, prompting increasing criticism online including on social media.
