MBC 'Manitto Club' s full-scale Undercover gift operation begins.
Manitto Club, which premieres on Feb. 1 at 6:10 p.m., directed by Kim Tae-ho, is an undercover real variety show with the concept of a group of people who know how to share one thing into two. In the first episode, the stories of new members Jenny, Dex, Choo Sung Hoon, Ro Hong-chul, and Lee Suji, who are invited to the Manitto Club and meet for the first time via video chat, are revealed.
New Manitto Club members each transform into animal modes to hide their identities and begin the probing game. Panda Jenny, bull Dex, rabbit Choo Sung Hoon, fox Ro Hong-chul, and raccoon Lee Suji, the members continue a tense first meeting as they deduce each other s hidden identities. Unlike the other members, who quickly adapt to their animal modes, Choo Sung Hoon repeatedly struggles, saying "The computer is difficult," and in the end causes a major accident by exposing his voice, putting the production team on high alert.
The anonymous live draw for selecting Manitto adds nail-biting fun. With a random gacha system determining one s Manitto in real time, Jenny s Manitto is revealed to be Dex, attracting interest. Also, Lee Suji s Manitto partner is Jenny, Dex s partner is Choo Sung Hoon, Choo Sung Hoon s partner is Ro Hong-chul, and Ro Hong-chul s partner is Lee Suji, adding to the excitement.
Members begin full-fledged deductions without yet knowing each other s identities, because they can only begin activities once they guess their Manitto s identity. Jenny, who does not know her Manitto is Dex, even uses AI to try to deduce it, but shows a flustered appearance, saying, "I didn t know it would be this difficult."
In unpredictable situations, questions are rising about how members will discover their Manitto s identities, whether they can successfully carry out the Undercover gift operation without revealing their own identities, and anticipation for the first broadcast is building.
