In the first episode of MBC's 'Manitto Club,' airing on February 1st, Jennie, Dex, Choo Sung-hoon, Noh Hong-chul, and Lee Soo-ji will deliver gifts to their assigned 'manitto' while keeping their identities hidden. Lee Soo-ji, upon discovering through a random live draw that her manitto is Jennie, can't hide her excitement as a fan. Despite her initial hesitation, saying, "I can't do it. I have star-struck syndrome," she soon finds herself searching Jennie's name, bringing laughter.
Lee Soo-ji attempts an undercover disguise with a helmet, sunglasses, and a white beard, but her distinctive presence is quickly recognized by passersby. The situation escalates with reactions like "Isn't that Psy?" causing laughter.
Ultimately, Lee Soo-ji decides to transform into Santa to deliver a gift to her favorite, Jennie. She visits Jennie's company building to deliver the gift, but faces unexpected challenges along the way. The question remains whether she can successfully complete the undercover gift mission without revealing her identity.
'Manitto Club' is an undercover real variety show with the concept of a group of people who know how to share what they receive. It premieres on Sunday, February 1st, at 6:10 PM.
