Prior to the eve of the festival, producer Yoo Jae-suk and writer Ha-ha had a selection meeting with Choi Yuri, Woods, Lee Joon-young, and Choi Jung-hoon (Jannabi). Among them, Yoo Jae-seok was interested in Lee Joon-young, who is particularly shy, saying, `It has a charm that bothers me.' Lee Joon-young drew attention by explaining the anecdote that he turned on the SNS live broadcast and ended it in panic when more people than he thought he would, explaining that he turned it off because he thought he would make a mistake and couldn't handle it. Ha-ha envied the nearly 7,000 users, and Choi Jung-hoon confessed that "When I sing (the number of users) goes up and when I talk, I fall down."
To this shy Lee Joon-young, Yoo Jae-seok recommended the dance song 'Drawing You (Park Nam-jeong)' which is famous for 'ㄱㄴ춤'\으로)'. Yoo Jae-seok says, "'If you sing this, we'll make you a bubble.'" Aren't you greedy?" and persuaded HaHa "Don't call me Junyoung from now on. Say it's Namjung, he pressed. Yoo Jae-seok also recommended that Choi Jung-hoon have a fast tempo variation 'First Snow (Lee Jung-seok)'. Lee Joon-young and Choi Jung-hoon played songs and said, "I think I should do this" to Yoo PD and Ha's cramming-style selection.
Then all the participants gathered except Dindin, who had other schedules on the eve of the festival. Yoo Jae-seok said, "Yuri is the star we gave birth to. I was originally a star, but I helped him." Proudly, I asked Lee about his waiting room work. Lee Yi-kyung said she would send a photo taken in the waiting room, and Choi Yu-ri blocked Lee with an iron wall reaction that seemed to catch mosquitoes. There were also stories about the selection of songs. In the meantime, Choi Jung-hoon created a controversy over the intervention of the selection of songs, saying that he thought a lot about the song Yoo Jae-seok strongly recommended. Unfair Yoo Jae-seok made a laugh by checking the song Choi Jeong-hoon selected and misinterpreting that `You did what you wanted to do.'
For the first time, actor Park Young-gyu's selection was revealed. It was 'We (Song Chang-sik)'. Joo Woo-jae and Lee Yi-kyung expressed their expectations, saying "Since you're singing while acting, I feel like you're going to recite the years as a song." Park Young-gyu revealed the behind-the-scenes story of singing this song again 20 years later, saying that he had sung it on MBC 'The Musical of Memories' when he was young. Yoo Jae-suk said "Weren't the lyrics that we need now" to make Park Young-gyu expect to give.
Park Myung-soo's unexpected selection caused a great stir in the scene. This is because he chose the number one song in the audience's vote and a song that is not easy to challenge in the contest 'Because I Love You (Yoo Jae-ha)'. Yoon Do-hyun talked about the impact of the unexpectedness, saying "This selection went rather well.' Park Myung-soo said he chose the song because he practiced it a lot during a piano lesson recently. Then "I like adventure. I'll do my best in any song, he said, raising questions about how Park Myung-soo will pull off the song.
Among them, Woods, Lee Jeok, and Ha Dong-kyun, who have yet to select a song, shared their concerns together at the scene. Woods was contemplating 'Return (Park Sun-joo)' and 'Last Concert (Lee Seung-cheol)' and asked for his opinion by singing 'Return' at the scene. Lee Jeok envied his talent, saying, `He is so handsome that he can sing well.' Lee Jeok thought about 'I want to cry' and Yoo Jae-seok's song recommendation 'Mona Lisa (Cho Yong-pil)', and sang 'I want to cry' which was different from the original song and received applause. Ha Dong-gyun was thinking about 'Someone's Dream (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)' and 'Alley-gil (Sinchon Blues)'. On the spot, he formed a temporary duet with Yoon Do-hyun and sang 'Alley-gil'. In a high-quality performance like the final stage, Yoo Jae-seok "Did the song festival start already?" he exclaimed.
In the trailer for the next broadcast, a list of songs selected by the participants, including the powerful candidate Yoon Do-hyun, was released, drawing attention. The order of the stage was set, and the preview stage of the finals was announced, raising expectations vertically. MBC 'What do you do when you play?' airs every Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
