On the October 2 episode of SBS variety show My Genie Secretary, RESCENE, whose members have an average age of 20.6, will appear as the episode’s “my star” guests and experience Lee Seo Jin’s brutally realistic philosophy on capitalism firsthand.
During the episode, RESCENE leader Woni and youngest member May find themselves caught up in Secretary Jin’s relentless “capitalist brainwashing.” The two visit a gacha shop and enjoy the simple pleasure of drawing toys from the machines. Watching them, Lee Seo Jin shares his trademark capitalist philosophy, declaring, “If you make a lot of money, happiness will naturally follow.” His unconventional “lecture” continues wherever they go. After being bombarded with one harsh lesson on capitalism after another, Woni eventually comes to a realization, saying, “So I’ve been enjoying the benefits of capitalism all along…” Her unexpected response reportedly sent everyone on set into laughter.
Secretary Jin’s practical advice continues at a photoshoot. When the RESCENE members cautiously watch the staff as they prepare for the shoot, Lee Seo Jin encourages them to carry themselves with more confidence, saying, “You guys have made it. You don’t need to worry about what everyone thinks.” His words offered reassurance as an industry senior to the young members, whose cautious behavior is something many rookie groups experience early in their careers.
Lee Seo Jin also shares his advice as a veteran celebrity on how to avoid developing “celebrity disease,” a Korean expression referring to becoming overly self-important after gaining fame. The RESCENE members were reportedly impressed by his unusually candid and realistic advice. Anticipation is growing over the chemistry between the young idols and Lee Seo Jin, whose seemingly indifferent delivery often comes with genuine sincerity. Their entertaining day together will be featured in a special extended episode of My Genie Secretary, airing October 2 at 10:30 p.m.
