MBC’s popular show How Do You Play? is bringing fans an exciting winter-themed episode with a special appearance by the “trending star” Byeon Woo Seok. Fans can catch this fun-filled episode tomorrow (11th) at 6:25 PM KST.

The upcoming episode will feature the cast and guest singers performing heartwarming “winter songs” to create a cozy vibe for viewers. Host Yoo Jae Suk teased the segment in a preview, saying, “The broadcast was delayed by two weeks.” Originally planned for December 14, the episode was rebranded as the “Christmas in the 13th Month” special after its rescheduling, promising fans a festive treat.

Photos released today (10th) show the cast trying to guess the guest singers based solely on their voices, adding to the excitement. From trendy tones that captivate Gen Z to soulful voices evoking nostalgic vibes, six incredible performers representing the essence of winter are set to light up the stage.

Among the guests, Byeon Woo Seok and his close friend, model and entertainer Joo Woo Jae, had a nostalgic moment. Joo Woo Jae revealed, “(Byeon) Woo Seok and I learned to sing from this person in a karaoke room!” He was shocked and thrilled to reunite with the “teacher” who had once coached them. Adding to the fun, HaHa joked about a guest’s deep voice, saying, “It’s exactly the same as mine!”

One of the mystery guests, making only their third-ever TV appearance, shared their experience attending a Lovelyz concert. Yoo Jae Suk humorously recalled going to the same concert with HaHa, Park Jin Joo, and Mi Joo, saying, “Were we there together? Why didn’t you say hi?” His playful banter left the introverted guest visibly flustered, creating a hilarious moment on set.

Don’t miss the laughter, nostalgia, and winter vibes in How Do You Play?’s “Christmas in the 13th Month” special airing January 11 at 6:25 PM KST.

BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently revealed the challenges of being the CEO of her own company, LLoud, and shared some behind-the-scenes insights into the struggles of managing her own business.

In a February 28th video uploaded to the YouTube channel Zip Daesung, Lisa sat down as a guest and opened up about her journey as a one-person CEO.

During the shoot, as Lisa was getting her hair touched up, Daesung casually asked, "Have you been working with this crew for a long time?" to which Lisa replied, "Over a year. Ever since I started my company." She was referring to LLoud, the agency she founded just last year.

While discussing her experiences, Lisa added, "It’s fun. Of course, there are difficult parts," but quickly shifted the conversation, jokingly saying, "Aren’t you getting touched up?"

Daesung laughed and explained that his stylist wasn’t around at the moment, "The person who does that is off work. They’ll come back later after working nearby. It’s a bit more flexible." He joked further, "But we only pay for the time they’re here, and if they’re not here, we don’t pay for that time."

Lisa responded humorously, "I don’t think that’s bad. It’s good. Then, please step out for a moment. I don’t need any touch-ups." Her playful remark lightened the mood.

The conversation turned more serious when Daesung asked, "Do you ever feel like a CEO? Do you realize how much money goes out in unexpected places? Do you think, 'Oh, the company paid for this'?"

Lisa responded honestly, saying, "The music video costs are insane. It’s no joke." She went on to explain that managing the costs for music videos can be overwhelming, especially when you’re running a business alone.

Daesung agreed, commenting, "Yeah, both for us and for BLACKPINK, there’s a certain scale we’re used to from YG. The music itself is that kind of style, right?" He then asked, "When making a music video, do you just say, 'Can you please lower the cost?'"

Lisa didn’t hesitate to answer, saying, "Yes, I always ask them to reduce it." She elaborated, "I talk about the budget and ask for help. But it always ends up exceeding the budget. We just want to do our best. We want to meet the expectations."

It’s clear that Lisa’s commitment to her work goes beyond the financials, always striving to meet high expectations despite the challenges that come with running a company.
