Baseball player Hwang Jae-kyun, who became a new employee at a major corporation after retirement, and Lee Seong-hoon, a key figure in 'Solo Hell 5', captured viewers' attention by revealing their unexpected daily lives.
On the 7th, the 388th episode of the MBC entertainment program 'The Manager's Perspective' aired, showcasing Hwang Jae-kyun's recent activities as he embarked on a new challenge just five weeks after retirement. Hwang Jae-kyun displayed exceptional loyalty by making joint employment with his manager Park Shin-woong, who has been with him for 22 years, a condition of his contract with the major corporation. Thanks to this, the manager, who received benefits from the four major insurance programs for the first time in 40 years, brought laughter with his excessive 'overprotection', packing an amount of luggage reminiscent of an immigrant's bag along with various essential medicines.
Hwang Jae-kyun also showcased a rigorous self-management routine that rivaled his active days. He eliminated the laziness that followed his retirement and returned to a disciplined lifestyle with early rising, diet management, and high-intensity workouts. In particular, he proved his 'workout machine' status by completing hellish CrossFit training alongside legendary fighter Kim Dong-hyun and 'Physical 100' winner Amoti. He also demonstrated his commitment to preparing for his second life by focusing on voice training and performance analysis ahead of his debut as a WBC commentator.
Following this, Lee Seong-hoon, who gained attention in 'Solo Hell 5', revealed for the first time the daily life of his main job as a 'quant trader', which had been shrouded in mystery. A talented individual from UC Berkeley, he showcased his professional work environment where he predicts stock prices based on data and builds automated systems, impressing everyone. Notably, his smart approach to analyzing and monitoring over 3,000 comments from the video he appeared in using AI coding caught the eye.
Lee Seong-hoon also candidly clarified various rumors surrounding him. He stated that he is currently on good terms with Choi Mi-na-su, the final couple from 'Solo Hell 5', and coolly acknowledged the dating rumors, saying, "I was photographed with someone I was getting to know." Additionally, he clearly stated that the circulating rumor of being the grandson of a former president is "not true," while jokingly expressing regret for not being able to provide entertainment.
Meanwhile, in the preview at the end of the broadcast, the appearance of 8 million YouTuber Jjuyang and comedian Lee Sang-hoon was announced. Jjuyang hinted at a meeting with 'Techno Goliath' Choi Hong-man, while Lee Sang-hoon teased the reveal of a toy museum he invested 1 billion won in, raising anticipation for next week's broadcast.
