On the October 2 broadcast of SBS's "Whatever You Wish, JINI - My Genie Secretary" (hereinafter "My Genie Secretary"), girl group RESCENE, who earned the most recommendations as "My Star," appeared as the featured stars.
On this day, RESCENE's manager carried out the handover (SOOIN) with Secretary Lee, explaining that the members value proper meals: "They love Korean food. Since they often want different menu items, please order according to each member's style."
To this, Lee Seo-jin drew laughter by asking, "Are you catering to everything already? So they've made it big now?" Furthermore, upon hearing that the members cheer up when praised if their energy drops, Lee Seo-jin brought the room to tears of laughter, quipping, "This is no different from Seo Inyoung. Every week is a princess. Every single shoot is a princess."
The manager continued the handover (SOOIN). Pointing to a large mat, the manager said, "They need to rest in between schedules, so we carry a mat around. If the members say they want to rest, please roll out the mat. They will lie down and take a rest."
Hearing this, Lee Seo-jin pointed out, "Everyone is working, and they're just going to lie down by themselves? Even I don't do that. Even when I'm tired, I don't go and lie down anywhere." When the manager explained that the members were exhausted from taking catnaps due to their packed schedule, Lee Seo-jin drew attention with his blunt, logical remarks: "Catching catnaps means you're blessed. Is staying home taking naps all day because you have zero schedules what happiness looks like? That's not something to pity. That's a great thing."
Lee Seo-jin's logical demeanor extended to the members as well. When WONI expressed regret over having to leave behind the malatang she was eating because of a call for filming, Lee Seo-jin told her, "Take your time. Eat, eat." He added, "It's fine. Don't walk on eggshells. You've made it big now, so you don't need to walk on eggshells."
To this, WONI asked, "Our commercial fees won't suddenly get cut, right?" Lee Seo-jin drew laughter by responding, "You've made it big, so you have to raise the price for the next contract. You can't keep being an easy pushover."
Hearing this, MINAMI was flustered, saying, "I don't know what to say." Later in an interview with the production team, she brought laughter by sharing, "He gave us advice that we could never hear from the adults around us."
Lee Seo-jin then triggered roaring laughter by saying, "You just have to enjoy it while things are going well. If things keep getting even better, that's great, and if not, you just live quietly reminiscing about the old days."
Lee Seo-jin's realistic advice continued. Toward the members, who revealed that they had not yet received their first settlement payment, Lee Seo-jin advised, "You have to steadily save up your money. If you invest in weird stocks, you'll end up completely ruined."
He continued, "You don't even need to know about things like stocks. And once you get paid, don't waste it; save it." To this, MAY made an adorable remark, saying, "I want to buy squishy toys." Lee Seo-jin then drew the line, sparking laughter: "Even for squishy toys (Leedo), only buy three or four."
When the members asked about hobbies and small but certain happiness, Lee Seo-jin reached the pinnacle of his pragmatic advice, declaring, "When you make a lot of money, happiness naturally follows."
When WONI asked, "Is money really everything?" Lee Seo-jin answered firmly, "It's everything. Everything." As WONI still struggled to understand his perspective, the production team asked her, "Weren't you happy when you moved into a 100-pyeong dorm?"
WONI replied, "I was so happy," prompting Lee Seo-jin to make everyone laugh by saying, "Capitalism is already ingrained in you. You're on the right track. That's how you become a slave to capitalism."
Even after that, Lee Seo-jin maintained that money is king, joining Kim Kwang-kyu in offering heartfelt, realistic warnings that drew keen attention: "After your first settlement, scammers will flock to you. Watch out for 'jeonse' rental fraud. And be very careful with your personal seal."
