It was fun but nothing new, and although there were changes, the dilemma remained. After two weeks of reorganization, MBC's entertainment 'What do you do when you play?' It's a story. Although Joo Woo-jae joined and was reorganized as a new director, the difference in laughter was still evident depending on whether or not Yoo Jae-seok existed. The harmonious chemistry of the members is an important variety show, but I still can't erase the feeling of 'Yoo Jae-seok and the children'.

"'I live alone' stay like Wilson"
Yoo Jae-seok said this to Joo Woo-jae, who joined as a new member of 'What are you doing when you play', on the phone the day before the first shoot. As the crisis theory of 'what do you do when you play' continues to be discussed, this is to relieve the burden that the newly joined Joo Woo-jae will feel.

However, Joo Woo-jae succeeded in showing off his presence beyond Wilson. Above all, Tikitaka with Yoo Jae-seok served as a laughing point. Yoo Jae-seok was busy teasing Joo Woo-jae, a lethargic introvert, and Joo Woo-jae laughed with a good sense of hitting and a firmness that did not care. In a bus full of trot, requesting an R&B song or brazenly singing Seong Si-kyung's song with a guitar that he couldn't play. Seeing Joo Woo-jae's appearance, Yoo Jae-seok said, "Do you want to pay for it?", and responded with a reaction such as feeling embarrassed instead.

However, this chemistry was not much different from what was shown in the SBS variety show 'Running Man'. In 'What Do You Do When You Play', Joo Woo-jae still carried the image of a 'paper doll' and 'Joo Ho-goo'. The same is true in KBS's 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon' and MBC's 'Do Something Unusual', which are currently appearing. Fun was guaranteed, but overlapping characters could not be avoided.

However, as it is still taking its first step, it is worth looking forward to various chemistry with members other than Yoo Jae-suk and the establishment of new characters. The problem is in the fundamental place of 'what do you do when you play'. 'What do you do when you play' is a program that started with Yoo Jae-suk's one-man system. Yoo Jae-seok received a great response from the stories he created while making subcasts and meeting people for each project. Since the current members are also people who have a close relationship with Yoo Jae-Suk, it is natural that Yoo Jae-Suk is the main axis.

However, it is a point to think deeply about the large difference in fun and quantity between the team with Yoo Jae-suk and the team without it. In the meantime, whenever there was a team division or individual exhibition of 'What do you do when you play?', Yoo Jae-seok's proportion was overwhelmingly high. Lee Mi-joo and Park Jin-joo were in a hurry to wander without Yoo Jae-suk.

This was the case even after the refurbishment. The amount of members who went to the West Sea was extremely small in the broadcast, which was divided into teams of Yoo Jae-seok, Joo Woo-jae, Lee Yi-kyung, and Haha, Park Jin-ju, and Lee Mi-joo, and went on a domestic package trip with citizens to Cheorwon and the West Sea. Despite Haha's struggle, Park Jin-joo and Lee Mi-joo, who do not have Yoo Jae-suk, could hardly pull out the fun. It is also questionable whether it was necessary to divide into two teams for the first meeting of the new members. It is positive that they spend a fun day with citizens instead of a grandiose welcome party, but it is regrettable that they did not give time to build teamwork with the existing members. Thanks to this, Joo Woo-jae received close care from Yoo Jae-seok.

It is impossible to imagine 'What do you do when you play' without Yoo Jae-seok. With Yoo Jae-seok missing, will the remaining 5 members have the capacity to lead an episode? In the case of long-running entertainment programs such as 'Running Man' or '1 Night 2 Days', the fun was created naturally from the teamwork and relationships between the members rather than one person standing out. It means that there is a limit to one person leading everyone. The homework given to 'What do you do when you play?' after reorganization begins now.
