Singer Seo In-young revealed realistic concerns about her body alongside a daring concept during a lingerie photoshoot. While Seo, famous for her unfiltered speech, showed a meticulous side by worrying about even the smallest physical details on set, Lee Seo Jin and Kim Kwang Kyu stepped in as daily secretaries to handle the behind-the-scenes chores.

Seo In-young asks, 'What about my belly and breasts in this lingerie pictorial?' — Lee Seo-jin replies, 'Post-production work'

In the SBS variety program 'My Grumpy Secretary' aired on the 11th, the process of Lee Seo Jin and Kim Kwang Kyu assisting Seo In-young at her lingerie photoshoot was revealed. This shoot was a pictorial that Seo participated in producing herself, making it a mission of much higher difficulty for the two men compared to their usual secretarial duties.

Upon receiving the shooting schedule, Lee first checked the level of exposure of the outfits with Seo. When she explained, "Just lingerie. Panties and a bra," Lee reacted with embarrassment, saying, "That's quite intense." Once the actual filming began, Lee and Kim entered full 'servant mode,' handling everything from organizing shoes to managing camera lenses.

Interestingly, Seo's demeanor changed once the camera turned on. While she had maintained high energy by constantly delivering demands to Lee and Kim, she showed a professional side once filming started, focusing intensely on her poses, expressions, and gaze.

Kim also acknowledged this. He noted that it was not an easy task to pose in lingerie, stating, "It looks wonderful. She is a professional." This moment highlighted the essence of modeling and pictorial shoots, where controlling and completing one's image in front of the camera is more important than physical exposure.

The two also participated in monitoring the shots throughout the process. As Seo requested feedback on the results, Lee and Kim became involved in the production of the pictorial in unexpected ways. SBS also noted that the two secretaries were flustered before the broadcast because Seo requested them to meticulously check specific body parts.

In particular, Seo checked her own body and repeatedly worried, saying, "What about my belly fat?" and "What about my breasts?" Behind the glamorous lingerie pictorial lay the realistic worries of a subject concerned not just with lighting, poses, and angles, but even the tiny physical changes captured by the camera.

Lee reassured Seo, saying, "We can just fix it in post-production. Don't worry." On the other hand, Kim did not miss the moment and wrote down the 'belly fat' and 'breasts' mentioned by Seo in his notebook, drawing laughter. The serious work of the photoshoot combined with the quirky reactions of the two secretaries created the unique observational variety show style of the program.

Scenes that relieved the tension on set followed. When Seo's energy dipped slightly, Kim appeared wearing a wig that Seo had prepared, turning the set back into a place of laughter. Even in moments of contemplating fashion and image perfection, 'My Grumpy Secretary' utilized the clumsy assistance of the two men as an entertainment device.

It was also not easy to task Kim with evaluating the fashion. When Seo asked him to write down feedback, Lee passed the role to Kim, saying, "Hyung, you write better than me," while Kim joked that he doesn't know much about fashion. Ultimately, the professional setting of a lingerie shoot combined with the witty banter of the two actors created another point of laughter.

The reason Seo's appearance is interesting is not merely due to the provocative outfits. She has stood before the public for a long time with a strong 'tough girl' character, and recently, she has been directly discussing her evolution by comparing her past self to her present self.

In a preview aired on the 4th, Seo expressed that she had become calmer than in the past, saying she had "reformed," but Lee and Kim showed reactions of disbelief, inducing laughter. Given that Seo still uses direct speech while showing an attitude of reflecting on her past actions, this appearance shows a slightly different nuance from a simple character reenactment.

The lingerie pictorial can also be viewed in the context of this change. While the past Seo imprinted herself through a strong image and buzz, the current Seo seeks to communicate with the public in a new way by directly facing her age and bodily changes in front of the camera. The scene where she chooses daring outfits while worrying about her 'belly fat' and 'breasts' reveals the gap between a star's glamorous image and her actual self-perception.

The roles played by Lee and Kim at the photoshoot go beyond simple assistance. The two provide a third-party perspective on Seo's completed image, naturally showing how much preparation and self-scrutiny a star undergoes in front of the camera.

Ultimately, the core of the shoot was not merely about 'how much she exposed.' It compressed the reality of celebrities who must constantly manage their bodies and images, the anxiety and self-scrutiny that arises in that process, and the variety show's ability to turn even those moments into laughter.

For Seo, this lingerie pictorial was both a repetition of her strong past image and a way to directly confront her changed self. While she posed professionally in front of the camera, her worries about her 'belly fat' in front of the monitor remained the most realistic depiction of the current Seo In-young.
