MBC's new variety show Manitto Club raises anticipation by previewing various gift-giving methods.
Manitto Club, which will premiere on Feb. 1 at 6:10 p.m., is an Undercover gift variety show with the concept of a gathering of people who know how to share one thing into two. The cast are randomly assigned Manitto relationships and must deliver gifts while keeping their identities hidden until the end. The first confirmed cast members are Jenny, Dex, Choo Sung Hoon, Ro Hong-chul and Lee Suji, drawing anticipation.
The newly released second teaser captures Jenny and Lee Suji's candid stories that reveal their divergent dreams about gifts, grabbing attention. The two recall memories of Manitto games and, even within the same Manitto game, show different ways of giving and receiving gifts, sparking interest.
Jenny said she likes Manitto games where you don't get caught until the moment you give the gift, showing a romantic, planning-type romanticist side that perfectly fits the premise of Manitto Club. Jenny, who said she has experience playing Manitto games with Blackpink members, revealed that she usually delicately picks up the tastes of people around her and enjoys surprise events. She also expressed confidence, saying, "I'm really confident. I'll do something novel," and raised curiosity by adding, "My Manitto will be so lucky."
By contrast, Lee Suji revealed she usually prepares gifts impromptu according to her own tastes. She recounted giving earrings to someone without pierced ears and foreshadowed that her gift would be "not useful," eliciting laughter. Regarding the gifts she would like to receive, she expressed a wish to have her snack box filled and revealed preferences such as sundae soup and boiled pork slices, bringing more laughs as she enjoyed just imagining them.
The core point of Manitto Club is that gifts must be delivered without revealing your identity. Jenny, who has a striking presence as a global star, answered confidently to a question about preparing surprise gifts, "It's not difficult. I'm small, and it's actually easier in winter. I get around better than you think," raising expectations. Meanwhile, Lee Suji previewed a disguise that highlights her strengths and unexpectedly performed character impressions, causing bursts of laughter. Viewers are left wondering who their Manitto partners will be and what stories will unfold during the gift deliveries.
The 'secret Manitto' that follows after the individual Manitto rounds is another unmissable element. The members form a team to launch an undercover gift operation to give a special day to more people. This process, in which a small individual sentiment expands into an event for the group, is expected to deliver both rousing laughter and a warm resonance.
