Gamidian trio intensifies rehearsals for upcoming stage performance

MINAMI, Yoo Young-woo, and Kwak Beom are undergoing intensive choreography and harmony practice ahead of their performance, as highlighted in the November 7, 2026, broadcast of MBC's "Hangout with Yoo."

MINAMI, Yoo Young-woo, and Kwak Beom, who have signaled the birth of the so-called "Gamidians"—comedians expanding their scope into singers—have been focusing on intensive practice ahead of their stage performance. In the November 7, 2026, broadcast of MBC's "Hangout with Yoo," the rehearsal process and the relationships between the three individuals preparing for the show were highlighted.

"Big choreography, even harmonies"... Intense practice to increase performance quality

Ahead of the performance, MINAMI, Yoo Young-woo, and Kwak Beom focused on matching their choreography and harmonies by repeatedly reviewing the original song videos. They immersed themselves in practice, looking in the mirror to coordinate movements while contemplating "how to make the choreography bigger." Beyond simple dance practice, they showed efforts to increase the song's completeness by practicing harmonies, with one noting, "We even practiced our harmonies."

To create a result similar to an actual performance video, they continued practicing by closely observing the movements of the original song. The three practiced extensively by watching the original, and despite the short amount of time, they repeatedly practiced together while watching videos to master large-scale choreography. During the process, they checked their movements by reviewing a video described as "this is actually the performance video itself."

The connection between the three called 'Gamidians' and MINAMI's wit

The broadcast also featured discussions regarding the relationships between the cast members and the term "Gamidian." Yoo Young-woo mentioned a past connection of hosting a program with Kwak Beom, stating that he provided the opportunity for Kwak Beom to debut. The show highlighted their recent activities, which suit the new descriptor "Gamidian" as they balance comedian roles with singing activities. In particular, Yoo Young-woo mentioned his recent experience performing on stage with HAEWON, explaining their trajectory of expanding from comedians into the music field.

In particular, MINAMI's excellent Korean language skills and wit became a hot topic on set. The cast members expressed admiration, stating that MINAMI "really does better than Koreans." Regarding MINAMI's wit, the cast members evaluated that among their friends in the broadcasting industry, MINAMI is a very good speaker. In response, MINAMI mentioned that the way to be good at Korean is "not to be afraid," adding that she herself is a person who is quite fearful.
