TV CHOSUN's 'Mr. Lotto', which will be aired for the first time at 10 p.m. on Thursday, May 11, will feature the TOP7 of 'Mr. Trot 2' (Ahn Seong-hoon, Park Ji-hyun, Jin Hae-seong, Na Sang-do, Choi Su-ho, Jin-wook, and Park Seong-on) and the seven members of the Golden Knights opposing them. This is a new concept reverse tribute music entertainment that gives fans a chance to win the lottery by participating in a karaoke competition and presents golden goods to fans. Kim Seong-joo and Boom served as the 2 MCs, and TOP7 is receiving a lot of attention as they announced their comeback on Thursday night after a month.
Meanwhile, the three core members of the Golden Knights who will compete against the TOP 7 in 'Mr. Lotto' on May 8 were revealed and attracted attention. The main characters are ‘God of Janggu’ Park Seo-jin, ‘romantic singer’ Kim Yong-pil, and ‘thunderous high note’ Jae-ha. All three received a lot of love in 'Mr. Trot 2', boasting powerful singing skills and as much popularity as the TOP7. Accordingly, the interest and expectations of prospective viewers toward ‘Mr. Lotto’ are soaring.
Two days before the first episode airs on May 9, the production team of 'Mr. Lotto' delivers an even stronger spoiler, drawing attention. The theme of the first episode of 'Mr. Lotto' is 'Revenge - Revenge is mine!' As the theme suggests, powerful Trot warriors Song Min-jun, Choo Hyuk-jin, Yoon Jun-hyeop, and Hwang Min-ho, who want to take revenge on the TOP7 through 'Mr. Trot 2', are looking for 'Mr. Lotto'. They are equipped with burning eyes and challenge the TOP7.
First, Park Seo-jin remembers the death match with Ahn Seong-hoon and expresses his disappointment, saying, “I was quiet, but Seong-hoon (Ahn Seong-hoon) chose me.” Ahn Seong-hoon is helpless with embarrassment. The two have a singing competition with each other's songs. After Park Seo-jin's performance, Ahn Seong-hoon is known to have stuck out his tongue and said, "I lost my song," so attention is focused on the results of the revenge match between the two.
In the 'Mr. Trot 2' TOP7 final round, Song Min-jun, ranked 8th, names Jin-wook, ranked 7th, as his opponent. The two people, whose fates are divided by a single difference, engage in a fierce battle of nerves before the showdown, causing tension. In the subsequent competition, they give their all and make the 'Mr. Lotto' studio a sea of emotion. Also, Hwang Min-ho, a little emotional genius, challenges Na Sang-do, who gave him a hard time in a rivalry match, to a fight. These two people usually boast a close friendship as 'uncle' and 'nephew', but on this day, they have a tense battle of nerves. In particular, Hwang Min-ho makes people laugh by making a slight provocation, saying, “I have better emotions than Uncle Na Sang-do.”
We are also looking forward to the performance of ‘Mr. Chu’ Choo Hyuk-jin, a man with many stories over the two seasons of ‘Mr. Trot’. Choo Hyuk-jin picks Choi Su-ho, who gave him deathmatch trauma, as his opponent. To Choi Su-ho, who walked out without any tension, Choo Hyuk-jin said, “I worked with Suho (Choi Su-ho), so Su-ho did well, and Yong-pil worked with older brother Yong-pil (Kim Yong-pil), and Yong-pil did well. “Everything goes well with me,” he says, feeling bitter. At this time, MC Kim Seong-joo makes people laugh by mentioning Kim Hee-jae, Choo Hyuk-jin's death match opponent from Season 1.
The fierce tension of ‘Mr. Trot 2’ is recreated in ‘Mr. Lotto’. Who will be the winner of the fierce singing competition between the seven Golden Knights who appeared full of sadness and the confident TOP7? You can check it out on TV CHOSUN's 'Mr. Lotto', which will be aired for the first time at 10 PM on Thursday, May 11th. Meanwhile, the scenes of the confrontation between Ahn Seong-hoon and Park Seo-jin and Song Min-jun and Jin-wook are scheduled to be pre-released today, May 9th.
