tvN STORY's first trot variety show 'Handsome Trot' has turned a corner and is set to dazzle with a super special guest lineup in its second act.
In the 5th episode of 'Handsome Trot' (directed by Hwang Da-won, written by Jeong Soo-jeong), which will air on the 21st, the 'Duet Ranking Decision Match' will take place in the third round. According to the production team, not only Son Tae-jin, Yang Ji-eun, and Jeong Seo-joo, but also Urban Zakapa's Jo Hyun-a and In Gyo-jin's father, In Chi-wan, are part of the luxurious duet partner lineup, raising expectations. In particular, trot producers Jang Min-ho and Lee Chan-won were reportedly surprised, saying, "Isn't this unfair?" at the appearance of the trot audition winners.
Yang Ji-eun and Jeong Seo-joo, both winners of the 'Miss Trot' series, along with Son Tae-jin, who has won 'Burning Trotman' and 'Phantom Singer' and is currently active as the next generation trot prince, will be making their appearances. Meanwhile, Jo Hyun-a is taking on the trot challenge for the first time in 17 years since her debut through 'Handsome Trot', and In Gyo-jin is expected to present a touching stage with his father In Chi-wan, further heightening anticipation. There is great interest in what powerful performances they will showcase.
'Handsome Trot' previously eliminated four contestants, Jang Hyuk, Jeong Gyeo-woon, Tae Hang-ho, and Han Jeong-wan, through the second round '1:1 Trot Directing Mission'. With eight contestants, including Choo Sung-hoon, Choi Dae-cheol, In Gyo-jin, Ji Seung-hyun, Hyun-woo, Kim Dong-ho, Lee Tae-ri, and Kim Jun-ho, advancing to the third round, another legendary stage is anticipated, raising curiosity.
Who will survive the duet ranking decision match amidst the feast of super special guests? Detailed information will be revealed in the 5th episode of 'Handsome Trot' on Friday, the 21st, at 10 PM on tvN STORY. It will also be available the next day, Saturday, at 10:40 PM on tvN.
