Lee Sang-min Charms with Humor and Wisdom on SBS's 'A-ni Geun-de Jinjja!'

Singer Lee Sang-min made a delightful appearance on SBS's 'A-ni Geun-de Jinjja!'

On the episode aired on Monday, the 4th, Lee Sang-min joined guest I.O.I to bring joy to the Monday night audience.

Appearing as a guest at 'Suzy's Boarding House,' Lee couldn't hide his smile when I.O.I, a group not usually allowed in the boarding house, made their entrance. He introduced each member of I.O.I in detail, and when Kai commented, "You look happy," Lee humorously replied, "Aren't you?" bringing laughter to the set.

Lee Sang-min further engaged viewers with his seniority and empathy. Upon hearing about a minor argument among I.O.I members during their dorm days, he wisely remarked, "When we're on stage, we must become one," showcasing his experience. He naturally brought up an anecdote about Jeon So-mi and Kim Do-yeon fighting over a piece of bread, saying, "It's something that can happen in your teens," showing great empathy. Lee's excellent hosting skills enriched the guest's talk.

Lee also evoked laughter with his subtle clumsy charm. Supporting Kim Se-jeong's unique dialect by saying, "This kind of dialect has no enemies," he was humorously fooled by the I.O.I members' impressions and couldn't identify Kim Se-jeong's real voice. He joked, "At this rate, you could call and fool Se-jeong's mom," further lightening the atmosphere.

Towards the end of the show, Lee Sang-min expressed deep affection for his juniors as a senior in the music industry, exemplifying 'junior love.' With a realistic producer's perspective, he mentioned I.O.I's reunion, saying, "It must not have been easy to come together," and asked, "In 2016, it was 'Pick Me,' what song will it be in 2026?" This thoughtful question highlighted the juniors' new activities, showing his considerate nature. His sincere support for his juniors' future added warmth to the broadcast.
