The October 14 episode of MBN’s Legendary Men will feature a special “Male vs. Female Trot Deathmatch.” The Warriors team, consisting of the TOP 7 contestants from Unknown Legend—Seongri, Haru, Jang Han Byul, Hwang Yoon Sung, Jung Yeon Ho, Lee Chang Min, and Lee Rune—along with Shin Seung Tae and Na Tae Joo, will compete against the Queens team. The female lineup includes Ban Ga Hee, Geum Jan Di, Jung Mi Ae, Stephanie, Eun Ga Eun, Gu Soo Kyung, Jang Hye Ri, Kim Tae Yeon, and Bin Ye Seo.
During the episode’s one-song competition, Hwang Yoon Sung from the Warriors team will face Stephanie from the Queens team. As a playful, romantic atmosphere develops between the two performers, host Yang Se Hyung spontaneously suggests that they play the popular “Of Course” game, in which participants must agree with each other’s increasingly provocative questions.
Stephanie immediately puts Hwang Yoon Sung on the spot by asking, “You like strong, assertive women like me, don’t you?” Blushing, he responds with a shy smile, “Of course.” As the studio becomes increasingly invested in their flirtatious exchange, Hwang Yoon Sung takes things a step further by asking, “Can I call you ‘you’?” using a more intimate form of address. Stephanie confidently replies, “Of course,” before suddenly adding, “But you know I have a boyfriend, right?” Her unexpected remark sends the entire studio into laughter.
Stephanie, a former member of the girl group The Grace, has been in a relationship with Brady Anderson, a retired American Major League Baseball player who is 23 years her senior. Their relationship first became public in 2020. During an appearance on the variety show Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller in March, Stephanie confirmed that their romance was still going strong, saying, “We’re doing well together.” The couple has reportedly been dating for approximately seven years.
While viewers are curious about Stephanie’s unexpected reference to her boyfriend, she and Hwang Yoon Sung will also deliver a duet performance of “Band-Aid,” incorporating a sensual dance routine into their stage. Even after the performance ends, Stephanie keeps the playful atmosphere alive by affectionately pinching Hwang Yoon Sung’s cheek and commenting, “You were cute.”
Host Yang Se Hyung then teases Hwang Yoon Sung, saying, “Yoon Sung is sweating more today than I’ve ever seen before,” leaving the singer visibly embarrassed. Watching their interaction, Kim Tae Yeon excitedly remarks, “My heart is racing.” However, Seongri, known for his straightforward personality, immediately responds, “Hearts are supposed to beat,” delivering a hilariously literal comment that sends everyone into laughter.
The full exchange between Stephanie and Hwang Yoon Sung, along with their special duet performance, will be revealed during the “Male vs. Female Trot Deathmatch” episode of MBN’s Legendary Men, airing on October 14.
