On the October 30 broadcast of SBS's "Whatever You Wish, Genie - My Genie Secretary" (hereinafter "My Genie Secretary"), Lee Seo-jin and Ha Jiwon, who once sparked the "Damo" craze, reunited after 23 years.
On this episode, the secretaries embarked on an overseas business trip to Singapore with Ha Jiwon. Ahead of their first overseas trip, the three celebrated together by sharing a toast with champagne.
Ha Jiwon then asked how she should address the secretaries, noting, "When it is just us, I call my managers by their names, but on set, I address them with respectful titles."
To this, Lee Seo-jin suggested, "Since we are going overseas, call him Mr. Kim here." Kim Kwang-kyu responded, "Then are you Mr. Lee?" to which Lee Seo-jin playfully quipped, "I am not on the same level as you, hyung, so she should call me Captain."
Before setting off, Ha Jiwon reeled off her favorite F1 drivers and asked if she could meet them. Lee Seo-jin drew laughter by replying, "Even if it means getting hit by a Ferrari, I will see what I can do."
Diverging from his usual attitude, Lee Seo-jin dutifully attended to his "my star." Soon, the day arrived for Ha Jiwon to watch the F1 race live in person, a moment she had eagerly awaited.
Ha Jiwon once again asked Lee Seo-jin to help her meet her favorites. Right at that moment, the deputy chief of the Singapore Tourism Board appeared. As the deputy chief welcomed Ha Jiwon while sharing details about the event, Lee Seo-jin asked if it might be possible for her to meet the drivers.
Caught off guard, the deputy chief replied, "I think I will have to look into that." Lee Seo-jin then smoothly appealed, suggesting that arranging an opportunity to meet the drivers would be wonderful.
Thanks to his efforts, access was granted to the paddock behind the scenes where preparations for the race take place. Upon entering the area, which also permitted a tour of the pit lane where racing car tires are changed, Ha Jiwon could not hide her excitement.
Lee Seo-jin warmed hearts by remarking, "Would I ever get to see F1 again before I die? It worked out well. As long as Jiwon is happy, that is all that matters."
Recalling that moment, Ha Jiwon shared, "I felt as if I had become a member of Max's team. It was truly the best."
Once the race began, Ha Jiwon's favorite was running in second place. However, due to a sudden downpour, the driver in the lead spun out, allowing her favorite, Max, to surge into first place.
At that exact moment, their 15-minute paddock tour came to an end, and with reluctance, the two moved to take their seats alongside the circuit. Because F1 is an experience best enjoyed not only by watching but also by feeling the roar of the engines, both of them could not hide their thrill in the dynamic atmosphere.
Ha Jiwon drew attention by expressing her gratitude toward Lee Seo-jin, saying, "I was so overwhelmed. It was so amazing," adding, "Oppa made such an immense effort to somehow let me meet Max just because I like him. I was truly touched."
Meanwhile, the end of the broadcast teased a preview of the two reenacting famous dialogue from "Damo," raising anticipation for the upcoming episode.
