[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 1st, Hwang Jungmin and Park Jungmin appeared as guests on tvN's "Amazing Saturday - Doremi Market."

On this day, the members were amazed by the appearance of Hwang Jungmin and Park Jungmin, saying, "Such great people have come," "I never thought a day like this would come in my life," and "It's rare to see these two on a variety show..."

Boom introduced Hwang Jungmin as a "double ten-million actor" and said, "I'm a fan." The members then claimed to all be fans of Hwang Jungmin, saying, "Who isn't a fan?" Park Jungmin also received cheers with his determination, saying, "I will work hard."

After the introduction, when Boom gave them time to promote their movie, Hwang Jungmin and Park Jungmin looked at each other. At this moment, Hwang Jungmin said, "Why are you looking at me? You should do it," causing laughter. When Park Jungmin had trouble explaining, Shin Dongyeop asked, "Are you more nervous now than when filming the movie?" Park Jungmin replied, "Because I need to pee," which caused the studio to erupt in laughter.

Also, Shin Dongyeop and Hwang Jungmin revealed that they were classmates at Seoul Institute of the Arts in the 1990s. Shin Dongyeop said, "Hwang Jungmin said he really enjoys watching 'Amazing Saturday.' He especially mentioned that it's a good program to watch with kids."

At that time, Boom said, "Hwang Jungmin said, 'Shin Dongyeop has always been a surprisingly different person,'" and asked Hwang Jungmin in what way he meant that. Hwang Jungmin answered, "Shin Dongyeop's appearance doesn't usually give a serious impression. But back then, he was the president of the entire club."

He continued, "This program 'Amazing Saturday' has been around for quite a long time, right? He definitely has leadership." Then Shin Dongyeop said, "Honestly, the biggest surprise is Hwang Jungmin. We were in the theater department, but during school days, he never acted once. He was always working as staff making lighting or sets, and then suddenly one day he graduated and appeared in movies," and confessed, "I wondered what to do since he never acted before, but he did so well."

Meanwhile, Boom said, "Since actors have come, we have invited a global pop star," and presented a dictation problem with Lady Gaga's "Sour Candy," which threw the members into confusion.

tvN's variety show "Amazing Saturday - Doremi Market" airs every Saturday at 7:40 PM.
