On the 14th episode of MBN's variety program 'The Man of Legend,' a pink-tinged atmosphere and lively chemistry unfolded among the cast, including Jang Han-byeol, Ku Su-kyung, Hwang Yoon-sung, and Stephanie.

The episode was designed as a 'Trot Men vs. Women Death Match' special. The TOP7 of 'Unknown Legend' along with Shin Seung-tae and Nae Tae-joo joined the Warriors team, while Ban Ga-hui, Geum Jan-di, Jung Mi-ae, Stephanie, Eun Ga-eun, Ku Su-kyung, Jang Hye-ri, Kim Tae-yeon, and Bin Ye-seo formed the Women's World team for a head-to-head battle.

First, Hwang Yoon-sung of the Warriors team faced off against Stephanie of the Women's World team in a one-song duel. An older-woman-younger-man vibe hung between the two, and MC Yang Se-hyung proposed an impromptu 'Of Course' game to match. When Stephanie asked, "You like a girl like me, don't you?" Hwang Yoon-sung answered, "Of course." When Hwang Yoon-sung then asked, "Can I call you 'you' (informally)?" Stephanie replied, "Of course." However, Stephanie surprised everyone by confessing, "But you know I have a boyfriend, right?"

The two selected Kim Hyun-sik's 'Band-Aid' and staged a sexy duet performance. After the performance, Stephanie pinched Hwang Yoon-sung's cheek and said, "You were cute," heating up the atmosphere, and MC Yang Se-hyung noted, "Yoon-sung is sweating more today than ever before."

On this episode, same-age chemistry also drew attention. Jang Min-ho asked cast members of the same age to raise their hands, and both Lee Ru-ne and Geum Jan-di raised theirs, surprising everyone. In the main showdown, Jang Han-byeol of the Warriors team faced Ku Su-kyung of the Women's World team, and it was revealed that both were born in 1990. Jang Han-byeol told Ku Su-kyung, "I thought you were much younger. Weren't you born in 2007?" — an age-based flirtation that created a pink atmosphere on set. In response, Shin Seung-tae interjected, "Han-byeol, you're being way too much of a homewrecker," while Ku Su-kyung added to the excitement by saying, "I wanted to get to know Jang Han-byeol better," sharing what she had researched in advance. Jang Han-byeol prepared an emotional stage singing Kim Hyun-sik's 'Like Rain, Like Music.'

Nae Tae-joo drew laughter by saying, "There are so many shining singers born in 1990. Myself included." Meanwhile, after watching Hwang Yoon-sung and Stephanie's performance, Kim Tae-yeon said, "My heart is racing," to which Seong-ri retorted, "Hearts are supposed to race," sending the set into waves of laughter.
