Lee Seung Gi Explains How “Master In The House” Forced Him To Change His Variety Show Style

Lee Seung Gi has revealed that his new show, “Master In The House,” has forced him to change his approach to variety shows! On January 5, at a press conference for “Master In The House,” the actor talked about how the show differed from the other variety shows he’d appeared on in the past.

“The format for filming ‘Master In The House’ was extremely different from the variety shows I used to be on,” he remarked. “The subject matter itself is different. It’s not just the cast filming the variety show by ourselves. Instead, the goal is for us to ultimately gain something from our encounter with the ‘Masters,’ through experiencing their daily routines and lifestyles.”

Lee Seung Gi admitted that he found the show’s relaxed style challenging. He confessed jokingly, “I’m currently worried because there are no games or scripted talk segments during the episodes.” He went on, “Because this is my first time on an ‘observation-style’ variety show, I’m still not used to it. Even when we were filming, I kept worrying about how this would be edited and broadcast on television. It was only when I was watching the first episode that I started to figure out what the show would look like.”

Lee Seung Gi also shared that “Master In The House” had led him to rethink his approach to filming variety shows. “I’m used to the old style of variety show,” he said, “so I have the compulsive idea that there has to be a constant stream of laughter and there can never be any kind of lull.” He continued, “But I realized that we had changed so much in the time from when we first awkwardly met the ‘Master’ to when we left the house at the very end. I think it would be good to focus on the process of that change.”

The star added optimistically, “I think that as we figure things out step by step, we’ll naturally develop our own unique style.” SBS’s “Master In The House” follows Lee Seung Gi, BTOB’s Yook Sungjae, Lee Sang Yoon, and Yang Se Hyung as they learn about life by visiting the houses of various eccentric ‘Masters’ and emulating their lifestyles. The show airs on Sundays at 6:25 p.m. KST.

I watched the first 2 episodes. I agree that its a bit different from the usual variety shows plus the cast is a mix of people from somehow different fields and generations. Its their first time working together as well so there's definitely some adjustment period. Surprisingly (and thank goodness), they are all funny together.

[A bit of spoiler] on the first episode, I felt like Lee Seunggi was putting a lot of effort making sure there are lots of funny moments and since he's good at these things, it seems natural and not weird or awkwrd. On the second episode where they stayed over at the masters house, they seem more releaxed together and there were really lots of LOL moments.

I'm enjoying the show so far 😉

These are my thoughts as well. I think they'll be a really good group when they start getting more comfortable and familiar with each other. You can already see some dynamics forming as well (Seunggi and Sungjae are adorable). I like the cast individually so I'm excited to see them together!

Yeah we can see they're starting to be more comfy =) I can see why Sungjae admires Seunggi. They are similar in many ways like being singers first then actors & doing variety shows. Seunggi is very successful & Sungjae would like to achieve that as well. I like the concept that they're supposed to learn/pick up lessons from theirs masters.

I really like this show. The cast is funny. Jeon In Kwon is a really great first guest for the show. There is so much humor.

Thanks for the post, OP! I had read about it before it premiered and then forgot about it, so this is a good reminder to check it out when I have some free time. I know everyone but the comedian and really like the three of them.

I randomly decided to watch ep 5 of this show and came on here to see if there was a discussion post...I know it's the wrong eps but...

omg.....the part where they're exercising and Se Hyung kept faking it. I was legit DYING for ten minutes straight. My face hurt from laughing so much.
