The Boyz's Sunwoo sets out to arrange a blind date with '3 Seconds Jang Wonyoung'

Seonwoo, a member of the group The Boyz, tried to arrange a blind date, but the '5th Hype Boy' Joo Joo refused outright, causing laughter.

In the 5th episode of ENA's entertainment show 'Hype Boy Scout', which aired on the 13th, the 'four previous Hype Boys' Song Hyeong-seok, Kim Han-young, Noh Min-woo, and Cha Woong-gi, who were selected through the Unicorn Entertainment audition, gathered together to raise expectations for their activities. Additionally, Ji-yeon, a 'Song Joong-ki lookalike', was crowned as the '5th Hype Boy'.

On this day, Unicorn Entertainment CEO Tak Jae-hoon, director Jang Dong-min, assistant manager Yoo Jeong, and employee Seon-woo entered the office that was relocated to Sangam, Seoul. Sunwoo expressed his ambition, saying, “I want to do well rather than having someone ‘hire’ me.” Jang Dong-min looked at the photos of 'past Hype Boys' on one wall and said with pride, "Our Hype Boys will lead the Korean entertainment industry."

The Hype Boy audition took place. The first candidate was Joo-jin, a 10-year veteran model and actor. Joo-Jin shyly said, “I tried HYPE BOY because I lacked the confidence to speak.” He suddenly took off his clothes and showed off his provocative look befitting a 'shoulder gangster'.

Jin Joo also revealed his diverse career, including an episode from when he appeared as Han Seon-hwa's man in the drama 'Drinker City Women 2', appearances in MVs, and magazine pictorials. He also performed an impromptu performance of Kim Dong-wook's famous scene from the movie 'Along with the Gods'. When the story about her mother came up, she shed tears, saying, “My mother has a rare disease.”

Yoo Jeong then introduced Ji Ha-ni, saying, “He is famous as ‘3 Seconds Jang Won-young.’” Jijiani showed off her dancing skills by talking about the time when she graduated from dance school and prepared to become an idol. He confessed, “I ran away because the concept (of the girl group I prepared) was Indian-style.” Additionally, Jihani self-disclosed, saying, “I don’t think I’ll be able to get married.”

After hearing this, Seon-woo tried to connect with Joo-jin, saying, “What do you think of a man without confidence?” In response, Ji-Hani sent a positive signal, but Ji-Hyun drew a sharp line, saying, "I don't like it," causing laughter.
