In a surprising twist during the October 31 episode of SBS’s variety show Secretary Jin, actor Ji Chang Wook was seen getting visibly emotional during a wrap party with Lee Seo Jin, revealing tension and unexpected vulnerability.
The episode featured Ji Chang Wook and Do Kyungsoo (D.O. of EXO) as special guests, appearing as “My Stars” to promote their new Disney+ series The Manipulated. While the premise of the show revolves around Lee Seo Jin and Kim Kwang Kyu serving as celebrity managers, this episode took a dramatic turn with unexpected friction.
Previously, Lee Seo Jin was praised for his sweet and devoted behavior, going the extra mile for female stars like Lee Sooji and Uhm Ji-won. But this time, he hilariously reverted to his “grumpy persona,” jokingly grumbling, “I told you not to bring guys,” as he met Ji Chang Wook and Do Kyungsoo on the way to work.
Adding to the unusual energy, Kim Kwang Kyu, who typically takes the wheel to chauffeur the guests, handed the responsibility over to Ji Chang Wook, marking a bold moment in Secretary Jin history.
Throughout the day, the cast followed Ji Chang Wook and Do Kyungsoo closely during their promotional activities. Fans were especially intrigued as PD Na Young-seok made a surprise appearance, sparking curiosity about a potential collaboration.
While the dynamic between the stars and their “managers” was playful at first, things escalated during the wrap party after a long day. Ji Chang Wook, overwhelmed with bottled-up frustration, finally let it out his voice cracking and eyes glistening with tears.
“Did I ever do anything my way today?” he asked with a faint smile, exposing just how tightly wound and controlled the entire promotional process had felt.
The moment left cast and viewers alike stunned, highlighting the thin line between comedic chaos and real emotional burnout in the world of celebrity schedules.
Fans can watch the full episode, including Ji Chang Wook and Do Kyungsoo’s heartfelt moments and Lee Seo Jin’s signature snark, on SBS’s Secretary Jin, airing October 31 at 11:10 PM KST.
