Please Don't Fire Us... Daily Manager Experience

Why Koreans care

When the pair is announced, someone jokes that it has become 전참시 (Jeonchamsi, “The Manager”), the shortened Korean title of a variety show built around celebrities and their managers.

In the Korean comments

One comment highlights the role reversal at 21:15, translating the managers’ duties as: “Eat curry bread, drink beverages, eat jelly, eat snacks, eat ice cream.” Another flags Eunseok’s near-constant eating at 19:49, making the food worth tracking throughout the manager experiment.

What the words mean

폐급 (pyegŭp) literally suggests something graded for disposal. Here it is casual, exaggerated slang for someone hopelessly incompetent or more trouble than help. One commenter says the on-screen “We’re not 폐급 (pyegŭp, incompetent)” seems designed to head off exactly that verdict.
