Lee Young Ji created a buzz with her playful banter with Shin Won Ho, the mastermind behind the beloved ‘Reply’ series, on the hit tvN show ‘Green Bean, Red Bean spinoff: Cafeteria Operation’.
In the latest episode that aired on January 30, Lee Young Ji made a surprise appearance as a part-time worker alongside Lee Kwang Soo and D.O. Their mission to prank the actors unfolded with precision, leading to hilarious reactions from the unsuspecting duo. When Lee Young Ji finally unveiled herself after remaining incognito for a good 10 minutes, Do Kyung Soo nearly jumped out of his skin while Lee Kwang Soo was left dumbfounded, questioning her stealthy entrance.
However, the real showstopper moment was when Shin Won Ho himself graced them as the first dinner guest. Na Young Seok poked fun at the fact that Shin Won Ho had directed a series that Lee Young Ji confessed she hadn't seen. Blushing with embarrassment, she tried to make amends by offering more delicious side dishes. In a cheeky exchange, Shin Won Ho coyly hinted at considering casting Lee Young Ji as the lead in the next ‘Reply’ installment.
Post the episode, the internet sensation took to her Instagram story to respond to the casting suggestion in a light-hearted manner. Her witty remark, "Come on now! Not watching ‘Reply’ was all part of my charm. I’m all about ‘Team Taek’ by the way. I mean, the only series I genuinely missed out on is ‘Hospital Playlist’. My bad. But hey, how about ‘Reply 2002’ for a change!"
Fans couldn't contain their amusement as Lee Young Ji playfully tackled the situation, especially since she had previously confessed on ‘Earth Arcade’ about skipping the ‘Reply’ series. To show her dedication, she even narrated the storyline of ‘Reply 1988’ to curious followers, concluding with a jest, "Honestly, I probably don't recall my own life story that detailed. If you doubt me, that's on you. Anyway, off to watch ‘Hospital Playlist’ now."
With her hosting gig on ‘The Seasons – Lee Young Ji’s Rainbow’ on KBS 2TV, the multitalented star is soaring high in the realms of music and entertainment, captivating audiences with her charisma and talent.
