On the August 23 broadcast of SBS "My Little Old Boy", entertainer Jee Seokjin appeared as a special MC.

During the broadcast, Jee Seokjin shared the news of his appearance on SBS Inkigayo and showed off his ending pose. In response, Seo Jang-hoon expressed surprise, saying, "Isn't this a first for someone turning sixty to even do an INKIGAYO ending pose?"

Known as Jamwon-dong's Hugh Grant and famous for being sweet to his wife, Jee Seokjin started by talking about his ultimate trick for calming his wife down when she is angry, saying, "We have been living together for a long time, but I still don't really know my wife."

He continued, "One day, we were talking about something—I don't even remember what we fought about—and our voices got raised. So I told her, 'Why are you getting so angry, princess?' And then my wife burst out laughing. She said it would be great if I said things like that more often," revealing his secret.

In addition, regarding how he used to save his wife's contact name as "The Pursuer" on his phone, he explained, "I saved it without my wife knowing. My wife takes an interest in everything I do and likes to do things together. So I figured she was like The Pursuer and saved it that way."

Jee Seokjin then revealed how the existence of The Pursuer came to light to the world, saying, "During the "Running Man" recording, a call happened to come in, and the name saved as The Pursuer popped up."

When asked what he saved his wife's contact name as on his phone, Shin Dong-yeob joked, "Just SUN, my sun, my lord," drawing a burst of laughter.
