MC Lee Hwi Jae made a quick save, teasingly saying, “Are you imitating Lee Joo Il-seon saeng nim? What a multi-talented entertainer. Doing a ‘What’s that?’ imitation in the middle of a live broadcast.”

Suzy was briefly flustered by her mistake but she regained her composure and finished her part after Lee Hwi Jae’s quips and the laughter died down.

Yoon Shi Yoon showed his nerves when he accidentally introduced the “Super Big Match” battle as “Big Mac,” causing Lee Hwi Jae to explode with laughter.

Lee Hwi Jae set things right, saying, “Big Mac is a hamburger. It is Big Match.” It added that it was ok to make mistakes since it was a live broadcast, adding that, “You just have to apologize.” His natural talkativeness helped to relax Yoon Shi Yoon, and the actor was able to continue with his emceeing.
