On November 29 (Saturday), the variety show 'Sister Cafe' on Coupang Play will feature six members of the global idol group EXO. This will be their first official activity after returning from military service, prior to EXO's comeback. 'Sister Cafe' is a talk show where sisters Lee Su-ji and Jung Il-ran add a spoonful of today's chat and two spoonfuls of romance, enjoying coffee shop talks with top star guests. The released trailer starts off glamorously with an impromptu dance by EXO's Kai and Jung Il-ran. As soon as they appear, Kai showcases perfect dance moves, while Jung Il-ran dances rhythmically, making viewers burst into laughter. Following this, Lee Su-ji and Lay continue dancing, and an excited Lee Su-ji asks, 'Will you try to raise me?' Lay responds seriously, 'I think that might be a bit difficult,' eliciting laughter. Lee Su-ji's flirtation doesn't stop there; she directly tells D.O., 'I don't know if you love me,' and suddenly declares, 'I'm going to take a shower with you,' shocking everyone. D.O. reacts realistically, saying, 'Are you crazy?' and 'How far are you going?' conveying the chaotic atmosphere of 'Sister Cafe.' Standing at the center of the confusion, Lee Su-ji announces, 'No, it's not for me! I'm just trying to promote you!' promising a delightful and noisy tea time unique to 'Sister Cafe.' This third episode combines the warm coffee shop vibe of 'Sister Cafe' with the unique interactions of EXO members, unpredictable variety sense, and quirky charm, promising a more enjoyable and lively tea time than usual. Additionally, a surprise appearance by the recently popular entertainer Kim Gyu-won has been revealed in a still cut, raising interest in what character he will portray and how he will shine alongside sisters Lee Su-ji and Jung Il-ran. The variety show 'Sister Cafe' on Coupang Play can be watched every Saturday at 8 PM.
