MBC's 'Manito Club' Unveils Star-Studded Lineup Including 'Infinite Challenge' Alumni

MBC's variety show 'Manito Club', directed by Kim Tae-ho, has revealed its additional cast lineup, drawing attention with the inclusion of 'Infinite Challenge' stars Park Myung-soo and Kwanghee.

The 'Manito Club' members are divided into three groups. The first lineup included Choo Sung-hoon, Noh Hong-chul, Lee Soo-ji, Dex, and Jennie. However, the ratings dropped from 2.1% in the first episode to 1.6% in the second, receiving criticism for not living up to the 'Infinite Challenge' chase expectations.

On the 10th, 'Manito Club' announced its second lineup, featuring Jung Hae-in, Go Yoon-jung, Park Myung-soo, Hong Jin-kyung, Kim Do-hoon, and Yoon Nam-no. Cha Tae-hyun, Park Bo-young, Lee Sun-bin, Hwang Kwanghee, and Kang Hoon are set to join as the third lineup.

The second lineup promises an exciting meeting of top stars. Jung Hae-in, known for his successful acting transformations, is gaining attention for joining 'Manito Club'. Fans are curious about the new side he will show after 'Good Day'. Go Yoon-jung, who became a global star through Netflix's 'Is This Love Interpretable?', is challenging her first fixed variety show with 'Manito Club'.

The addition of 'Infinite Challenge' alum Park Myung-soo and web variety show 'Study King Genius' host Hong Jin-kyung is also a highlight. Kim Do-hoon, known for his stable acting and charming visuals, and Yoon Nam-no, who left a strong impression as the 'cooking genius' on 'Black and White Chef' and 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator', are also drawing attention.

The third lineup is equally impressive. The reunion of actors Cha Tae-hyun and Park Bo-young, who played father and daughter in the 2008 hit film 'Speed Scandal', is particularly eye-catching. Fans are eager to see their chemistry on a variety show after so long. Cha Tae-hyun, a 32-year veteran actor and new agency founder, and Park Bo-young, known for her box office success in both films and dramas, are expected to shine in 'Manito Club'. Actress Lee Sun-bin, known for her relatable performances, is anticipated to showcase her unique charm in the show.

Hwang Kwanghee, who will add energy to the program, and rising variety star Kang Hoon are also joining, completing a fresh and unpredictable lineup.

'Manito Club', featuring Choo Sung-hoon, Noh Hong-chul, Lee Soo-ji, Dex, and Jennie, promises a 'Secret Manito' mission where the cast, after completing individual missions, becomes a team to gift a special day to others. Reports suggest the cast displayed exceptional chemistry during the mission.

'Manito Club' airs on the 15th at 5:50 PM.
