A scene from the SBS variety show 'I'll Do Anything for You - Secretary Jin' (hereafter 'Biseojin'), in which actor Lee Seo-jin corrects the chopstick grip of Woni of the group RESCENE, is drawing attention. Immediately after the broadcast, online reactions to Lee Seo-jin's firm coaching poured in, with comments such as 'dad mode' and 'chopstick training.'

'Biseojin' is a variety program in which Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-gyu serve as one-day managers, closely supporting a star's daily schedule. The new season premiered on August 28, and the episode featuring RESCENE aired recently.

Lee Seo-jin's On-Site Guidance on 'Proper Chopstick Technique'

In the RESCENE episode, a scene appeared in which Lee Seo-jin, having noticed Woni's chopstick grip during a meal, personally corrected her form. Rather than stopping at a word or two of advice, he repositioned her fingers and explained the proper way to use chopsticks, drawing laughter from viewers.

Related clips spread across multiple online channels immediately after the broadcast. On the 3rd, the list of RESCENE-related videos saw a stream of short clips with titles such as 'Lee Seo-jin Educating Woni on Chopsticks,' 'My Chopstick Uncle,' and 'Woni's Tenacious Chopsticks.'

'Chopstick Training After Driving Training'... Reactions Explode

Viewer reactions centered on the phrase 'chopstick training.' Some netizens responded with comments such as 'chopstick training after driving training,' 'I didn't expect Lee Seo-jin to be the chopstick uncle,' and 'Dad mode activated,' taking the scene between the two in good humor.

In particular, the moment when Woni initially responded as if her way was correct, then re-gripped her chopsticks following Lee Seo-jin's explanation, was singled out as a comedic highlight. With Lee Seo-jin's characteristically nonchalant yet firm tone added to the mix, the brief scene was received as something akin to a 'life lesson.'

Other viewers noted how attentively Lee Seo-jin looked after Woni. Along with reactions such as 'It seems like he nags her because he likes her' and 'It feels like an elder looking after a junior,' quite a few saw it as friendly advice rather than mere criticism. Online, the scene even earned him the nickname 'My Chopstick Training Uncle.'

Though it was just a short meal scene in a variety show, the dialogue stemming from the generational gap between Lee Seo-jin and Woni, combined with the unexpected life coaching, created a new source of laughter. As Woni's natural and approachable charm is being highlighted through variety shows, attention is turning to how far fans' interest will expand.

Woni Ranks 20th in the Netizens' Awards... Could She Become a Ranking Variable?

Woni is currently ranked 20th in the female singer category of the ongoing October Netizens' Awards, continuing the competition. Since the Netizens' Awards is a stage where fans' support and interest are reflected in rankings, how Woni's newly revealed charm through the broadcast might affect the future ranking flow is also a point of interest. With her down-to-earth side on variety shows, not just her on-stage persona, drawing attention, all eyes are on how fan sentiment will move in the remaining period.
