Yu Jae-seok's invocation to cast Byeon Woo-seok angered Joo Woo-jae.
On the afternoon of the 2nd, MBC's Hangout With Yoo aired an episode showing Yu Jae-seok transformed into a short-form drama director.
That day, Yu Jae-seok, who appeared to select staff to participate in the new short drama, checked resumes saying, "Let's take a look." He said, "I'm going to try this short-form drama myself."
In fact, in the current short drama genre, even director Lee Byung-hun of the film Extreme Job has jumped into the market. Yu Jae-seok is also said to be participating in short drama production. Yu Jae-seok said, "Right now there is no writer, and there needs to be an assistant director. I'm going to hold interviews once. If it's going to go well, I think we need to select well."
The first applicant, Heo Kyunghwan, appeared and said, "I'm strong in shorts. Wherever you grab me, you can get a full shot." Heo Kyunghwan, asked about his favorite drama genre, said, "I like comic genres too," and about the story he wanted to write, he explained, "Even a celebrity I didn't like much becomes likable when I meet them in a dream. Going back and forth between dream and reality."
To this, Yu Jae-seok said firmly, "Ding! I don't think you'd make a writer," and added, "I'll write 'imagination poverty.'" After being rejected as a writer and then as an assistant director, Heo Kyunghwan was left with only acting. On the spot, Heo Kyunghwan attempted an impression of Yoo Ji-tae's acting from the film The King's Warden and shouted, "Act more!" but Yu Jae-seok angrily asked, "Is Yoo Ji-tae an eunuch?" Yu Jae-seok said, "I think will and motivation are more important than other things."
Next to appear was Joo Woo-jae. Joo Woo-jae entered shouting, "Strength and passion, dream. I will become a new talent," and Yu Jae-seok sighed and said, "Ha.. attitude score minus 5 points."
As the formal interview began, Yu Jae-seok said, "You did modeling activities?" and asked, "Did you list 'unbalanced dance' as your specialty?" Starting with the unbalanced dance, Joo Woo-jae said, "Isn't this the exact taste?" and Heo Kyunghwan, watching from outside, provided laughter by performing the unbalanced dance at the door.
Joo Woo-jae said he had watched many short dramas and explained, "Almost everything I've seen is about affairs. The lines are strong, and I know the characteristics of short dramas well." Yu Jae-seok asked, "It seems like we're on the same wavelength. You're close with Byeon Woo-seok, right? Can you cast him in the short-form drama?" Joo Woo-jae stood up without speaking and said, "I can call him, and I can ask."
Joo Woo-jae improvised an idea about his favorite drama genre, saying, "In a place like an abandoned hospital, young friends out of curiosity put cameras on..." and Yu Jae-seok asked, "May I ask a question there? Could Byeon Woo-seok be cast there?"
Joo Woo-jae said, "Are you calling me to the stairs now... Are you calling me to ask that question?" and Yu Jae-seok said, "I don't think that's the case. Then can you act?" and requested an impromptu performance. Joo Woo-jae, attempting the same Yoo Ji-tae impression, could not start because he had not seen The King's Warden, and seizing the moment, Heo Kyunghwan acted saying, "Hit until you die," prompting laughter.
Joo Woo-jae declared his determination, saying, "I'm willing to do it as long as my role isn't just the stair role to recruit Woo-seok," and Yu Jae-seok retorted, "Then you won't be able to work with us," provoking laughter.
Haha, the last applicant to appear, said about watching short dramas, "Isn't it the short-form era these days. It's my taste and I'm very interested," and said he wanted to be a writer, adding, "If you make me an assistant director, it will fail. I won't listen to direction."
With all candidates accepted, specific roles had not yet been decided. Yu Jae-seok said he was leaning toward the thriller genre and was considering whether to mix romance into it. He said, "Honestly, if this is a romance, the male and female leads must be clear. Ideally, I'd like to cast IU and Byeon Woo-seok here," and Haha reacted, "That's hilarious."
Haha asked, "Is that really possible?" and Yu Jae-seok honestly said, "The chances are low." Yu Jae-seok said, "The genre will emerge once the casting is decided," and when names such as Kim Kwang-kyu and Lim Won-hee were mentioned for the male lead lineup, Yu Jae-seok said, "I have a main candidate. My friend Kim Seok-hoon."
They called Kim Seok-hoon on the spot but were informed he was currently recording 'Curious Story Y' and 'Three Perspectives', and they decided to move to Mokdong SBS around lunchtime.
The members who met Kim Seok-hoon asked him when his last melodrama was, and Kim Seok-hoon confessed, "In 2011 it was 'Shining Brightly' with Kim Hyun-Joo. That was good. I did a lot of melodramas into my 30s, but I felt like trying a middle-aged melodrama once. As you become middle-aged you get a lot of father roles, so I wanted to try a melodrama too."
When the four moved to meet the hidden star, they suddenly saw Hwang Jung-min, and Heo Kyunghwan opened by saying, "Isn't that Hwang Jung-min hyung?" After confirming it was really Hwang Jung-min, the four ran and shouted, "Let's cast him!" Yu Jae-seok asked, "Hyung, where are you going?" and Hwang Jung-min said, "I was going to eat." Hearing that he had been hanging out lately, Haha said, "Great," and immediately asked him to join, and Kim Sung-kyun appeared behind them.
The pre-arranged hidden star turned out to be Kim Sung-kyun. Yu Jae-seok, laughing, said, "We came to see Sung-kyun and suddenly Hwang Jung-min hyung appears?" showing embarrassment as if caught in a hidden camera situation.
