Former After School Star Lee Joo-yeon Reveals Her Quirky Side on MBC's 'The Manager'

Lee Joo-yeon, a former member of After School and one of the 'Top 5 Ulzzang' actresses, is set to reveal her quirky and down-to-earth personality on MBC's 'The Manager'. Lee, who previously made headlines with dating rumors involving G-Dragon from 2018 to 2025, will showcase her unexpected 'maximal life' on the show's 394th episode airing this Saturday, the 18th.

In the upcoming episode, Lee's home, which appears tidy at first glance, is actually filled with various items. From cosmetics and shopping bags to leftover food, her space is a mix of everything, drawing viewers' attention.

Lee Joo-yeon demonstrates her unpretentious lifestyle by using ice packs from makgeolli packaging to reduce facial swelling and storing leftover food in containers. She humorously acknowledges her self-proclaimed 'clumsy hands' by completing a bold makeup look, showcasing her unexpectedly charming and carefree nature.

When her parents visit her home, they are shocked by the mess and immediately start cleaning. Her father sighs, asking, "When will you become a proper person?" while her mother expresses concern, saying, "You're worse than your nephew." Amidst the barrage of comments like "When will you get married?" and "Can you give us some allowance?", Lee Joo-yeon breaks into a sweat, displaying a realistic family dynamic.

Comedian Yang Sang-guk, observing Lee's exhaustion from her parents' marriage talk, throws a playful 'reverse flirting' line at her, creating a peculiar atmosphere. Initially drawing a line by saying, "You're not my type," he then skillfully shifts gears, asking, "Do you want to meet privately or keep it for the show?" This leaves Lee Joo-yeon intrigued, and viewers are eager to see how the 'Prince of Gimhae' Yang Sang-guk's flirting will affect her.

Lee Joo-yeon's transformation from an 'original ulzzang' to a 'friendly neighborhood sister' with her charming everyday life can be seen on MBC's 'The Manager' this Saturday at 11:10 PM.
