Hyoyeon and Jeong Eun Ji Reunite With Their Bandmates in New “The Manager” Preview

Two K-pop veterans, two very different vibes. Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon and Apink’s Jeong Eun Ji are set to headline next week’s episode of the hit reality show “The Manager,” and the newly released preview is already giving fans plenty to talk about — from Hyoyeon’s floor-sleeping habits to Jeong Eun Ji’s decade-long bond with her manager.

The Manager Episode Overview

Hyoyeon’s 19 Years in the Girls’ Generation Dorm

The preview opens with host Jun Hyun Moo asking Hyoyeon what her bandmates said when they heard she’d be appearing on the show. Her answer? Sooyoung teased her, joking the show is “for famous people,” questioning why Hyoyeon was going on at all.

Things get more personal from there. Hyoyeon’s manager reveals she’s lived in Girls’ Generation‘s dorm for a staggering 19 years and is now the last member still living there — solo. He also drops a quirky detail: Hyoyeon doesn’t even own a bed, leading the panel to joke that she sleeps on the floor while her dog gets the comfortable spot.

Adding even more heart to the segment, the dorm’s longtime housekeeper — who’s worked there since Hyoyeon was in high school — shares an emotional line: “You’re like a daughter to me. The day you quit is the day I quit, too.”

Later, Hyoyeon links up with fellow members Sooyoung and Yuri, her partners in Girls’ Generation’s newly formed unit HRS. The trio immediately falls into playful bickering, cracking up both each other and the studio panel.

Jeong Eun Ji’s Long-Term Bond With Her Manager

The preview then shifts to Apink’s Jeong Eun Ji, caught waking up in her studio and washing up in a public bathroom — a candid, unpolished moment fans are likely to appreciate. The segment’s real highlight, though, is her relationship with her manager of seven years, who describes their dynamic warmly: “People say we’re like a couple in a long-term relationship. We depend on one another and affectionately take care of each other.”

The episode wraps with Apink gathering for a meal to celebrate Jeong Eun Ji’s birthday, trading stories and reminiscing about their years together as a group.
