Na Tae-joo claims Seongri has become slightly arrogant

During the 15th episode of MBN's "Legendary Man" airing on the 21st, longtime colleague Na Tae-joo claimed that Seongri has become "slightly arrogant in an instant" after taking 1st place in "Legend of the Unknown."

Trot singer Seongri is feeling the pressure following an exposure that he has changed since winning an audition program. Longtime industry colleague Na Tae-joo unleashed blunt remarks, claiming that Seongri has "become slightly arrogant in an instant." As Seongri enters his prime following his victory, attention is focused on how he will react to this unexpected revelation from his close friend.

In the 15th episode of MBN's "Legendary Man" airing on the 21st, a "Warrior Team" consisting of the "Legend of the Unknown" TOP7 along with Shin Seung-tae and Na Tae-joo will face the "Yeoin Cheonha" team in the second round of the Trot Man and Woman Deathmatch. The "Yeoin Cheonha" team includes Ban Ga-hee, Geum Jan-di, Jeong Mi-ae, Stephanie, Eun Ga-eun, Gu Su-gyeong, Jang Hye-ri, Kim Tae-yeon, Bin Ye-seo, and Park Hyun-ho, promising a fierce confrontation. The episode is expected to draw interest through vocal performances as well as honest exposures and playful tension among the cast.

During a duet stage, Seongri and Na Tae-joo demonstrate seamless chemistry stemming from their long relationship. While discussing their past experiences performing together, MC Yang Se-hyung mentions that Seongri has become a legendary figure after winning "Legend of the Unknown," prompting Na Tae-joo to immediately mention Seongri's change.

"I have watched Seongri for 8 to 9 years, and he was so polite and kind. But in an instant, he became slightly arrogant. He has changed a lot after taking 1st place in 'Legend of the Unknown')," Na Tae-joo revealed. As these words came from a colleague who has observed Seongri for a long time, the comment drew intense focus from those present. Seongri reacted with embarrassment, grabbing the back of his neck at the unexpected attack, which drew laughter from the crowd.

However, the exchange of accusations does not extend to their performance. Seongri and Na Tae-joo showcase their exceptional coordination during their duet, featuring choreography reminiscent of group dances and high-difficulty Taekwondo moves. Despite teasing each other verbally, they maintained perfect synchronization on stage. Watching the performance, Jang Hye-ri expressed admiration, saying, "It's a feast for the eyes!"

From the "Yeoin Cheonha" team, Bin Ye-seo and Geum Jan-di will perform as a duet. Bin Ye-seo revealed that she was the one who first suggested performing with Geum Jan-di, hinting at a special chemistry between senior and junior artists. As much interest as the duet itself, Bin Ye-seo's unique way of addressing others drew attention.

When MC Jang Min-ho asked why she calls Geum Jan-di "unnie" (older sister) but calls him "samchon" (uncle), Bin Ye-seo explained her own criteria. Upon hearing this, Lee Chang-min joked, "Then [Lune] hyung is a 'sukbu-nim' (uncle)~," causing laughter throughout the set. The friendly conversation between cast members spanning different generations is expected to briefly ease the tension of the competition.

A rematch between Jang Han-byeol and Gu Su-gyeong will also take place. The two, who created a romantic atmosphere during their previous match, will face off this time with a selection of Boohwal's "Lonely Night." Jang Han-byeol is expected to showcase her high-pitched vocal skills by performing the song in the original female key. Interest is building regarding how the subtle atmosphere formed during their last encounter will translate into this stage.

Shin Seung-tae and Kim Tae-yeon meet in a so-called "avoidance match." Kim Tae-yeon candidly confessed, "I like Samchon Seung-tae, so it's okay if I lose, but if I lose, I feel like I'll get in trouble with the seniors on the Yeoin Cheonha team." Her struggle between her affection for her opponent and the pressure to secure a win for her team is expected to cause laughter.

Jang Min-ho suggested that Kim Tae-yeon write the name of the person she fears most on her palm. Kim Tae-yeon wrote "Geum" and "Eun," pointing to Geum Jan-di and Eun Ga-eun. Laughter erupted again as her cute confession toward her seniors was revealed. Beyond the competition, the relationships and honest emotions among the cast are expected to add enjoyment to the program.

The "Number 1 Legend" Seongri will present another stage by singing "Daejeon Blues" during the "Today's Song" segment. A key point of interest will be whether Seongri, who has become a hot topic due to Na Tae-joo's exposure about his change since winning, can prove his presence through his vocal ability.

The 15th episode of "Legendary Man" promises everything from blunt exposures by long-time friends to spectacular performances and witty banter among trot seniors and juniors. Viewers are watching to see how Seongri, who was evaluated as having changed since his victory, will respond to Na Tae-joo's attack and what level of skill he will demonstrate on stage.
