‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’ revealed the special daily life of voice actor Nam Do-hyung, the ‘idol of the voice acting world’ and creator Ralal.
On the 329th episode of the MBC entertainment program ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’ (planned by Kang Young-sun / directed by Kim Yoon-jip, Jeon Jae-wook, Lee Kyung-soon, Jeong Dong-sik, Lee Da-woon / written by Yeo Hyeon-jeon) aired on the 11th, the figure of Ralal, who is enjoying a second heyday with voice actor Nam Do-hyung of a thousand voices and his sub-character ‘Lee Myeong-hwa’ was portrayed.
On that day‘s broadcast, the real daily life of voice actor Nam Do-hyung, who appeared on ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’ as his first entertainment show, was revealed for the first time. As a veteran voice actor who has participated in around a thousand works, Nam Do-hyung started his day with voice recognition. Inside his house, there was a recording studio fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, and figures of various characters he had played were on display, adding to the interest.
Meanwhile, Nam Do-hyung began taking care of his throat with his own secret methods, such as gargling with coconut oil and reciting the Heart Sutra to relieve his sore throat. He worked on his morning schedule in the recording studio with Manager Gil Han-sam, who arrived at his house. Among them, a special story was revealed that Manager Gil Han-sam had helped Nam Do-hyung with fan meetings through an acquaintance in the past and then became his manager. In addition, Nam Do-hyung showed off his various knowledge, including palatalization, while eating with his manager, and showed off his occupational disease of constantly correcting his manager’s pronunciation, causing big laughter.
Nam Do-hyung drew attention by using a clicker, which is used in pet training, to find editing points and syncing his lips to make the sounds of the characters speaking the same as his own.
Nam Do-hyung showed off his perfect diction that was piercing to the ears, performing multiple roles in one production. At the studio, a pronunciation battle took place between voice actor Nam Do-hyung and former announcer ace(?) Jeon Hyun-moo. The two engaged in a showdown of the century(?) with their pride on the line, and while Nam Do-hyung finished his pronunciation, Jeon Hyun-moo failed halfway, causing laughter.
Meanwhile, voice actor Nam Do-hyung headed to the recording schedule with his manager and turned on his main job mode. At this time, the manager showed more consideration by giving Nam Do-hyung propolis and vocal care candy. As the Korean manager for world-famous YouTuber ‘MrBeast’, he showed off his promi by doing a huge amount of lines in one take and even dubbing game character sound effects.
After a while, Nam Do-hyung, who had finished his schedule, met with KBS 32nd class voice actor classmates Jang Min-hyeok and Jeong Hyeong-seok and had a nostalgic talk. They freely imitated the sounds of characters they had played in the past, creating a fun atmosphere with their everyday lives that had never been seen before.
Next, Ral-la entered the stage of his dreams with his sub-character ‘Lee Myeong-hwa’. Ral-la appeared on ‘Show! Music Core’ with his popular new song ‘Real Baegi’, signaling another challenge. Lalal arrived at the broadcasting station with manager Yeon Kwang-mo looking excited and transformed into rookie singer ‘Lee Myung-hwa’ with delicate makeup such as seagull eyebrows and wrinkles. Dressed in a pink dress, she stole everyone‘s attention wherever she went with her dazzling styling.
Meanwhile, her mother, a vocal music major, visited the waiting room to cheer Lee Myung-hwa on and soon made everyone burst into laughter by teaching her daughter her own vocalization technique. Lee Myung-hwa then took on her first challenge with her seniors in the music industry(?), Twice. Lee Myung-hwa and Twice did their best to participate in each other’s song challenges, and Lee Myung-hwa created a warm atmosphere by giving her senior yakbap, a snack that is not commonly seen in music show waiting rooms.
Lee Myung-hwa, ahead of her stage, visited the waiting room of her senior trot singer Jang Min-ho. After watching Lee Myung Hwa‘s ‘Real Baegi’ rehearsal stage, he asked, “Are you going to release another album?” and gave her great praise, saying, “I want to keep listening to (the song) on my way home.” Lee Myung Hwa couldn’t hide her smile at her trot senior Jang Min Ho‘s honest evaluation.
The busy manager, who was about to have a broadcast soon, meticulously took care of Lee Myung Hwa’s outfit, earplugs, and even her name tag, supporting her for a successful stage. Furthermore, the manager, who was unfamiliar with the music show schedule, said that he prepared thoroughly by getting advice from the singer‘s manager.
Lee Myung Hwa went up on the ‘Real Baegi’ stage amidst the cheers of many people and heated up the atmosphere on site with her live skills that were unexpected for a rookie. Lee Myung Hwa made a mistake in the lyrics in the first verse, but she captured the hearts of the idol fans sitting in the audience with her confident charm. Lee Myung Hwa’s cheerful daily life after successfully completing the live broadcast spread positive energy widely to the viewers. Currently, Lee Myung-hwa‘s ‘Real Exhaust’ music show video is receiving an explosive response, not only garnering a whopping 1.8 million views, but is also being featured on the ‘In-geup-dong’ (videos that are rapidly rising in popularity).
According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership ratings research agency, the 329th episode of ‘The Investigative Report’ saw a scene in which Ralala’s mother taught him the ‘Gungding-Gungding’ pronunciation technique that he couldn‘t see anywhere else, which soared to 5.0%, creating a rare scene and adding to the fun for viewers.
Next week’s broadcast will depict MBC‘s representative announcer Kim Soo-ji’s colorful life as a pro N-jobber, from her daily life as an anchor for ‘News Desk’ to her life as a lyricist. Also, the actual broadcast is even more anticipated as it will feature a vlog of Park Se-ri‘s exhibition tour where she can meet world-class authors and a cooking competition using high-quality ingredients on an incredible scale.
MBC’s entertainment program ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’ airs every Saturday night at 11:10 p.m.
