MBC's Manitto Club delivered belly-aching laughter with a chaotic chemistry in support of the Ulsan Wales.
In episode 11 of MBC variety show Manitto Club, which aired Sunday the 12th, the stories of the third-generation members preparing to support the Ulsan Wales opener, a secret Manitto and KBO's first civic team, unfolded. The show opened with the surprise appearances of Lee Suji and chef Yoon Nam-no, who were active in the first and second generations, and as members began full-scale operations the day before the "secret Manitto" event, their struggles added unprecedented immersion and dopamine.
For full-scale operations, the members split into the Wales TV team and the citizen interview team and activated a perfect division-of-labor mode. The Wales TV team, which included Cha Taehyun, Park Boyoung, Kang Hoon and Lee Suji, boldly started undercover reporting among the hard-training players. From Park Boyoung in a killer whale costume to Cha Taehyun disguised as a making-of director, and Lee Suji and Kang Hoon perfectly transformed into staff, they boldly entered the ground and proceeded nonstop from group photo shoots to interviews. But for a moment, a hair-trigger crisis that threatened to expose Kang Hoon's identity occurred, and the site was swept by tension.
The crises did not end there. The Wales TV team regrouped and began interviewing players, but it was a continuous series of chaotic moments that alternated between tension and laughter. When Cha Taehyun, who took the interview questions, stumbled and faced another crisis, Park Boyoung in the killer whale costume showed quick thinking and naturally continued the questioning. Moved by the players' fighting spirit, united by each person's earnestness, Lee Suji, the "capital F," frequently wiped away tears and added to the laughter.
The citizen interview team carried out other activities in downtown Ulsan. Hwang Kwanghee drew responses from citizens with his characteristic affability, showing the prowess of a cheer king in his element. Chef Yoon Nam-no, who swept traditional market popularity, and promotional fairy Lee Sun-bin, full of passion, also made considerable contributions. The three ran through the streets of Ulsan to film a special cheer video for the scoreboard, capturing the citizens' fervent energy intact.
The Wales TV team returned to the lodging first. Park Boyoung delivered warmth with an unfinished gift for her Manitto Cha Taehyun. She had prepared a custom book gift for the bibliophile Cha Taehyun and even books for his wife and daughter — the whole family's books. With the citizen interview team joining, the full-fledged group stay began. A spirited meeting took place along with a dinner prepared by chef Yoon Nam-no, and the laughter never stopped. In particular, chef Yoon Nam-no unveiled for the first time a special ramen recipe that adds minced garlic as a kick using a technique of frying the soup, drawing admiration from the members.
Under commander Cha Taehyun, belly-aching ideas poured out. Lee Suji, who once drew attention for her shocking fashion that exposed her abdomen during a ceremonial pitch, stunned everyone again with a novel idea that exposed her belly. Meanwhile, Cha Taehyun and Park Boyoung displayed perfect chemistry as they prepared scripts together like a producer and writer, reminiscent of the 18-year-old film Speed Scandal.
The cheer-song recording was truly the highlight. The plan was to complete the cheer song produced by music director Hong Kyung-min by recording the members' voices. Unlike Cha Taehyun's steady lead and Park Boyoung and Lee Sun-bin's clean recordings, Hwang Kwanghee turned the place upside down with an unexpected chaotic recording parade. Kang Hoon and chef Yoon Nam-no also finished their recordings safely, and Lee Suji provoked uproarious laughter with unprecedented ad-libs, exploding her presence. With a legendary group stay that had members laughing to the point of an "outcry" and genuine family chemistry at its peak, anticipation grows over whether the secret Manitto operation will finish safely.
Meanwhile, MBC's Manitto Club will be preempted Sunday the 19th due to the broadcast MBC sports: the return of the legends OGFC: Suwon Samsung legends. The Manitto Club third-generation Wales support project will continue on Sunday the 26th.
