Dex and BLACKPINK’s Jennie are set to appear together on MBC’s upcoming variety show Manito Club, which is scheduled to premiere on February 1. The show has already released its first teaser video, sparking excitement over the duo’s participation and the show’s unique premise.
Manito Club introduces an undercover gift exchange concept under the theme of “those who know how to share double when given one.” Cast members are randomly assigned as each other’s Manito (secret friend) and must deliver heartfelt gifts without revealing their identities.
In the teaser, viewers hear the phrase, “You have been invited to the Manito Club,” as Jennie, Dex, Choo Sung-hoon, Noh Hong-chul, and Lee Soo-ji begin their first secret missions. Noh Hong-chul wonders aloud, “Who could my Manito be?” while Dex playfully asks, “What kind of gift will I get?”
The lighthearted mood quickly shifts as an unexpected twist causes chaos, with cast members reacting in surprise. The participants are then reminded of the show’s one unbreakable rule: “Never reveal your identity.”
From there, the chase begins. Jennie is seen behind the wheel, urgently declaring, “We have to go now!”—showing a completely different side from her usual on-stage persona. Dex, on the other hand, channels full mission commander energy, shouting, “Get in the car now! You can run, right?”
The first episode of Manito Club airs February 1 at 6:10 PM KST, promising a mix of mystery, heartwarming gestures, and comedic chaos as celebrities play undercover givers in this refreshing variety format.
