KBS2 ‘Men Who Do Housework Season 2’ Singer Lee Min-woo, who has been in the spotlight for 28 years since his debut, is receiving trot lessons.

In the broadcast on the 8th, first-generation idol Lee Min-woo, who debuted in the group Shinhwa in 1998 and gained explosive popularity, shows his will to challenge trot, drawing attention.

Lee Min-woo‘s parents had previously recommended that Lee Min-woo, who had shown talent for trot, become a trot singer, and Lee Min-woo falls into deep thought. Afterwards, Lee Min-woo meets comedian Heo Kyung-hwan, who has released many trot albums, and shares his worries. With Heo Kyung-hwan’s help, he meets Seol Woon-do, the ‘master of trot’. Lee Min-woo says, “I sang trot at a concert for my parents. This year, I want to learn trot properly”, and reveals why he came to Seol Woon-do.

However, Seol Woon-do says, “Our lives themselves are songs. He flusters the single men Lee Min-woo and Heo Kyung-hwan by saying, “Get married first.” He then chooses Lee Min-woo as the person who is most likely to get married first between Lee Min-woo and Heo Kyung-hwan, and makes everyone laugh with the explosive statement, “Heo Kyung-hwan is handsome, but if you look closely…”

Heo Kyung-hwan asks Seol Woon-do, who has been writing lyrics and composing songs for over 40 years and is active as a singer-songwriter, about royalties. Curiosity is rising about how much Seol Woon-do, who has created numerous hit songs such as ‘Samba’s Woman’, ‘Love’s Twist’, ‘Purple Postcard’, ‘Let’s Cha Cha Cha Together’, will earn in royalties.

After that, Lee Min-woo shows off his splendid dance and ‘Love’s Twist’ in front of his senior Seol Woon-do. Here, Seol Woon-do gives a cool critique and raises expectations for the song gift by saying, “My song will fit you well.” The song ‘My Love Like Starlight’ that Seol Woon-do gifted to Lim Young-woong became a huge hit, recording a whopping 73 million music video views, so curiosity is rising as to whether Lee Min-woo will also receive a hit song from Seol Woon-do.

Lee Min-woo‘s first trot challenge can be seen on KBS 2TV’s ‘Mr. House Husband’, which airs on Saturday the 8th at 9:25 PM.
