MBC's Manitto Club promises unpredictable, chaotic chemistry in the kitchen.
In episode 8 of MBC variety show Manitto Club, which airs on the 22nd (Sun) at 6:05 p.m., second-season members Jung Haein, Go Youn-jung, Park Myung Soo, Hong Jin Kyung, Kim Do-hoon and chef Yun Nam-no visit the Bucheon fire station to begin the full-scale "secret Manitto" mission.
The members, who had earlier prepared a late-night meal for the firefighters, open a "midnight diner" by converting the fire station cafeteria while keeping their identities hidden. But as soon as the full-scale customer service begins, the kitchen is instantly thrown into chaos by an unrelenting rush of orders. Responses such as "It's a disaster, it's a disaster" are repeated, and Jung Haein, flustered, says "Is this an accident?", raising curiosity about what situation has unfolded.
The continuously ringing dispatch bell also acts as another variable. As firefighters repeatedly rush to scenes in the middle of meals, all the members are said to be unable to hide their bewilderment. Considering this, chef Yun Nam-no prepared 60 servings—double the usual number. Attention is focused on whether the "midnight diner" can continue to operate safely despite the successive dispatches.
Meanwhile, the Manitto activities of third-season members also begin in this episode. Cha Taehyun, Park Boyoung, Lee Sun-bin, Hwang Kwanghee and Kang Hoon prepare "cheer" gifts to support their respective Manittos, foreshadowing new chemistry.
Not only Cha Taehyun and Park Boyoung, who collaborated in the film Speed Scandal, but also the hidden relationships among Lee Sun-bin, Hwang Kwanghee and Kang Hoon are expected to add fresh amusement. In particular, Lee Sun-bin, who is also the partner of actor Lee Kwangsoo, reveals that she and Park Boyoung have been close friends for eight years and says "She is the sister I love most. If anyone bothers her, I will take care of it without looking back," offering a glimpse of the pair's strong friendship.
The relationships to watch include Cha Taehyun and Kang Hoon, who bonded through a travel program, and Hwang Kwanghee and Kang Hoon, who first met on Manitto Club. Kang Hoon says, "The day before filming I watched the chase scene from Infinite Challenge and found it amazing," revealing an unusual inner closeness toward Hwang Kwanghee. Viewers are curious how their stories will unfold and are looking forward to the third-season members' chemistry, which is stronger than family.
