[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 16th, MBC's 'How Do You Play?' aired a scene where Yoo Jae-suk met with Hwang Kwang-hee, Henry, and Rain to form a co-ed group.

That day, Yoo Jae-suk first met Hwang Kwang-hee to form the co-ed group. Surprised by Yoo Jae-suk's sudden visit, Hwang Kwang-hee repeatedly said "What is this, what is this" with a face mixed with curiosity and joy, then asked, "I didn't prepare anything, why did you come?" which made everyone laugh. Yoo Jae-suk pointed out that Hwang Kwang-hee was looking for PD Kim Tae-ho, saying, "If PD Tae-ho is here, it's 'How Do You Play?', if not, then it's not," which embarrassed Hwang Kwang-hee.

Then, when Hwang Kwang-hee joked, "You're not that important to me either," Yoo Jae-suk revealed, "This is 'How Do You Play?'," surprising Hwang Kwang-hee again. As Hwang Kwang-hee happily greeted the viewers, saying, "I've entered 'How Do You Play?'," Yoo Jae-suk disappointed him by saying, "Except for me, there are no fixed members."

Next, Yoo Jae-suk went to Henry following Lee Ji-hye's advice that they needed a Korean-American member who could rap in English. After touring Henry's studio, Yoo Jae-suk admired, "You really seem like a genius." When Yoo Jae-suk brought up the co-ed group, Henry reacted dramatically, asking, "Is co-ed 'solo vocal'?" and "Are you trying to make a fake KARD or Cool?" which embarrassed Yoo Jae-suk.

Yoo Jae-suk asked Henry, "Do you know BoA M's 'Bahama Mama'?" and requested "fast, bright, and lively music." At first, Henry didn't know the song, but after looking it up and listening, he played the violin on the spot, surprising Yoo Jae-suk. However, Yoo Jae-suk soon told Henry, "Your personal style is too strong, so group activities won't work," and pointed out, "It's not a summer vibe."

When Yoo Jae-suk tried to wrap up by saying, "Thanks for your time today," Henry said, "I reject this ending," making Yoo Jae-suk burst into laughter.

The next person Yoo Jae-suk visited was Rain. Yoo Jae-suk said, "I came to talk about group composition and 'Kkang'." He wanted to talk about Rain's song 'Kkang,' which recently became a meme and is experiencing a resurgence. Rain asked Yoo Jae-suk, "You should do about three 'Kkang' a day," and then asked, "How many 'Kkang' do you do a day?" which made everyone laugh.

Yoo Jae-suk said about the 'Kkang' dance, "I used to see that dance as really cool like Rain's old dances. But these days, people seem to find it strange." Rain accurately pointed out, "It's not that it's strange, it's that it wasn't good." He analyzed, "In the past, dance singers had to break the stage and shoot a certain look. But now, looking at the camera is a bit cheesy, and even dancing too well is cheesy."

When Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Why did someone who knows the flow so well make 'Kkang' like that?" Rain honestly confessed, "I realized it afterward." He added, "I watch it seven times a day. It's so fun, and I hope people keep enjoying it," showing a magnanimous attitude.

Yoo Jae-suk also mentioned, "Do your family members know about '1 Kkang a day'?" Rain replied, "My wife (Kim Tae-hee) knows and finds it good and fun." However, when criticized that Rain only talks about 'Kkang,' Rain introduced the '20 Prohibitions'?20 things he wishes people wouldn't do.

Rain responded that he would try to avoid the '20 Prohibitions,' which include forbidding mischievous expressions, lip biting, and calling him a producer. Regarding Yoo Jae-suk's offer to join the co-ed group, Rain confidently said, "If it's performance, I'm confident," not backing down. Then, Rain performed a medley of his hit songs in the practice room, satisfying Yoo Jae-suk.

MBC's entertainment program 'How Do You Play?' airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM.
