[Edaily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] Actors Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu have stepped in to assist singer-actress Bibi.

On the SBS Friday variety show “I’ll Do Anything for You – Secretary Jin” (“Secretary Jin”), which premiered on the 28th, Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu were shown transforming into Bibi’s managers.
According to Nielsen Korea, “Secretary Jin,” which premiered on the 28th, recorded a nationwide household viewership rating of 3.2%. In particular, the viewership rating among the core 20-49 demographic more than doubled compared to the final episode of the previous season, showing a remarkable upward trend. Returning with a new season after about seven months, “The Secretaries” signaled a successful comeback by driving a rise in viewership ratings right from its premiere.
The episode depicted Lee Seo-jin and Kim Gwang-kyu, who reunited for the new season, managing the schedule for their first “My Star,” Bibi, at the Waterbomb festival.
When the production team asked if they liked their partner, Lee Seo-jin retorted, “What if I don’t? Are you going to swap me out?” Kim Kwang-kyu responded, “Who else could handle a picky young master’s personality? It’s got to be me,” adding, “It went well because you laid the groundwork. Do you think you could’ve done it without me?”—drawing laughter from the audience.

The two men, with an average age of 56.5, provided plenty of laughs as the “generation gap” between them became immediately apparent from their very first meeting with Bibi. Kim Kwang-kyu revealed to Bibi that Lee Seo-jin didn’t know her hit song “Bam Yanggaeng.” In response, Lee Seo-jin said, “I don’t really know much about songs or singers,” and “I only listen to pop music.” Bibi then fired back with a blunt remark, “I get the feeling you’re a bit unlucky,” turning the set into a sea of laughter.
Behind the dazzling stage, Bibi’s professional demeanor also caught the eye. Having maintained a strict diet for two weeks leading up to Waterbomb, Bibi was so nervous that her hands were shaking right before the performance. However, she revealed her firm philosophy: “I believe I have to be worth the money. I’m determined to entertain everyone who paid to be here, no matter what.” As soon as she took the stage, she delivered an overwhelming performance as if she’d never been nervous at all. Watching this, Kim Kwang-kyu marveled, “She’s a natural-born artist. She seemed nervous, but then she performed as if she’d never been nervous at all—‘Ah, she’s definitely a pro. This girl is the real deal.’”
Lee Seo-jin and Bibi also got into a debate over the “origins of university names.” When Bibi claimed that Inha University stands for “Incheon Hawaii University” and Ajou University stands for “Asia State University,” Lee Seo-jin strongly refuted her claims, sparking a heated exchange. Lee Seo-jin even called in Kim Gu-ra, an Inha University alumnus, and Ji Seok-jin, an Ajou University alumnus, to fact-check the claims. In response, Bibi added to the laughter by telling Lee Seo-jin, “You’re really frustrating. You’re a bit of a tiresome type,” and “Senior, you’re actually kind of annoying.”
At the end of the day, Lee Seo-jin commented on Bibi, saying, “She seems like someone who confidently carves out her own path in life—the kind of person who goes in the direction she wants, no matter what others say.” Bibi also expressed her satisfaction, saying, “I feel good that you treated me so kindly.”
“Secretary Jin” marks an upgrade from simple personal assistance to “high-class, personalized care.” It’s a variety show featuring Lee Seo-jin and Kim Gwang-kyu as they transform from traditional managers into “real secretaries” who take responsibility for even the most intimate and private aspects of a star’s life.
“Secretaries” airs every Friday at 11:10 p.m. Actor Cha Tae-hyun will appear as the star guest in the second episode of “Secretaries,” which airs on the 4th of next month.
