Watch: Apink’s Jeong Eun Ji And Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon Hang Out With Their Bandmates In “The Manager” Preview

Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon and Apink’s Jeong Eun Ji will be hanging out with their respective bandmates on next week’s episode of “The Manager”!

The popular reality show has released a sneak peek of its upcoming episode, which will feature Hyoyeon and Jeong Eun Ji as guests.

In the newly released preview, host Jun Hyun Moo asks Hyoyeon if her bandmates had anything to say when they heard she was going to appear on “The Manager.” Hyoyeon reveals that Sooyoung teased her by joking, “[‘The Manager’] is for famous people, why are you going on the show?”

Hyoyeon’s manager then shares that she has been living in Girls’ Generation’s dorm for the past 19 years and is currently living on her own as the last member standing. He also points out that she doesn’t have a bed, which leads the panelists to note in amusement that Hyoyeon sleeps on the floor while her dog sleeps in a bed.

The manager goes on to reveal that the housekeeper taking care of Girls’ Generation’s dorm has been working there since Hyoyeon was in high school. The housekeeper fondly tells Hyoyeon, “You’re like a daughter to me. The day you quit is the day I quit, too.”

Later, Hyoyeon meets up with Sooyoung and Yuri, the other two members of Girls’ Generation’s new unit HRS. The three bandmates crack up the panelists—and each other—as they immediately start playfully bickering.

Next the preview moves on to Jeong Eun Ji waking up in the studio in the morning before washing up in a public bathroom. Jeong Eun Ji then shows off her close friendship with her manager of seven years, who remarks, “[People say] we’re like a couple in a long-term relationship. We depend on one another and affectionately take care of each other.”

Finally, Apink is seen getting together for a meal to celebrate Jeong Eun Ji’s birthday and reminiscing about old times.

The next episode of “The Manager” will air on September 5 at 11:10 p.m. KST. In the meantime, check out the new preview below!

Watch: RESCENE Returns To “The Manager” As Full Group In New Preview

Less than a month after their last appearance on the show, RESCENE is returning to MBC’s “The Manager” as a full group!

In a newly released preview for next week’s episode of the popular reality show, all five members of RESCENE arrive at the studio as guests.

Notably, the show’s panelists point out that this is the first episode of “The Manager” to have only one guest, making it a “RESCENE special.”

Amidst glimpses of the girl group’s chaotic dorm life, RESCENE’s manager shares, “Because their dorm has gotten so much bigger, even if they call another member’s name from their room, they say they can’t hear it. I thought that now, they might not be as glued to one another as they were before, but they still stick to each other like lovebugs.”

That close physical proximity continues at work, with the RESCENE members crowding together on one sofa in their dressing room at “Music Core”—even though, as a panelist points out, there are plenty of seats in the room.

After enjoying hearty meals of gukbap (Korean soup and rice) before their performance, RESCENE gifts their fans with meal coupons to express their gratitude.

Later, the panelists ask RESCENE if they can share any hints about their upcoming plans, and Woni intriguingly declares, “This is our first time revealing this.”

Finally, the preview ends with footage of the RESCENE members tearfully opening up about their past struggles and expressing their determination not to forget their initial mindset.

RESCENE’s episode of “The Manager” will air on August 8 at 11 p.m. KST. In the meantime, check out the new preview below!

Watch: RESCENE Reveals Dorm + Sheds Tears While Visiting Geoje In “The Manager” Preview

RESCENE will be sharing a glimpse inside their dorm and paying a meaningful visit to Geoje on MBC’s “The Manager”!

The popular reality show has aired a preview of its upcoming episode, which will feature the members of RESCENE as guests.

The new preview starts with a montage of RESCENE’s past, when they were relatively unknown to the public. The clip then cuts to Minami and Woni’s massively viral “Geoje yaho” meme, which recently led to the group skyrocketing to fame.

Next, the preview offers a sneak peek of RESCENE’s dorm, which the members mention that they are revealing for the first time on “The Manager.” Amidst footage of the idols hanging out, joking around, and sharing clothes at home, Woni explains that they only have one bathroom in their dorm. 

Afterwards, all five members of RESCENE travel to Geoje, where a red carpet has been laid out especially for them. When the residents of Geoje recognize the group, the members get emotional, and Woni tears up.

However, the tears don’t stop there. Over a meal, the idols reminisce about the early days of their career, with Woni mentioning that they weren’t always able to perform on music shows, even when they wanted to. As the RESCENE members wipe their tears, Woni jokes, “Geoje women don’t cry!”

The next episode of “The Manager” will air on July 11 at 11 p.m. KST. In the meantime, check out the new preview below!
