Park Myung-soo Playfully Jealous Over Choi Jeong-hoon and Choi Yu-ri’s Duet at 'Hangout With Yoo' 80s Song Festival

The highly anticipated '80s MBC Seoul Song Festival' pre-show is set to unveil exclusive, one-of-a-kind performances you can’t see anywhere else.

On the September 20 broadcast of MBC’s beloved variety show Hangout With Yoo (Korean title: Nolmeun Mwohani?), viewers will get a sneak peek at the contestants’ impromptu mini stages, along with behind-the-scenes moments from the main competition’s waiting room.

The pre-show will feature special duet stages, created in response to overwhelming viewer requests—these unique pairings are exclusive to this event.



Among the most buzzed-about duos are Jannabi’s Choi Jeong-hoon and Choi Yu-ri, whose vocal chemistry has fans clamoring to see the so-called “Choi siblings” duet. Choi Jeong-hoon himself shared, “I’ve wanted to sing together for a long time,” expressing his genuine excitement to perform with Choi Yu-ri.

Their newly formed “Choi siblings” unit is set to deliver a harmony that promises to enchant listeners.



Park Myung-soo, who famously teamed up with top stars like IU and G-Dragon at past Infinite Challenge music festivals, had his sights set on a duet with the ever-popular Choi Yu-ri this time around. When his dream pairing didn’t materialize, Park jokingly lamented, “I really wanted to do this, but Jeong-hoon took it from me,” sparking laughter with his playful jealousy.

Beyond the “Choi siblings,” the pre-show will showcase other unexpected and refreshing duet combinations, heightening anticipation for the night.

One all-male duo, performing together for the very first time, confessed, “We’ve never sung together before.” Yoo Jae-suk encouraged them, saying, “That’s what makes this pairing so special.”



Another surprising duo—Lee Jun-young and Lee Yong-jin—received rave reactions for their unexpectedly perfect chemistry, adding even more excitement to the event.

During the pre-show, contestants also reveal their top picks for the grand prize, the awards they’re aiming for, and even the performance slots they hope to avoid. Tensions rise as everyone vies for the ideal performance order.

Yoon Do-hyun boldly declares, “I don’t care if I go first,” while Park Myung-soo quips, “The only thing I’m afraid of is popularity. I need to take down WOODZ,” showing his trademark competitive spirit.

The atmosphere grows even more intriguing when an unexpected “outsider” contestant throws their hat in the ring for the Friendship Award, decided by peer voting—leaving everyone curious about their identity.

Don’t miss the unmissable '80s MBC Seoul Song Festival' pre-show on Hangout With Yoo, airing September 20 (Saturday) at 6:30 p.m. KST.
