It’s Game Time
Following the warm up introduction to the show, Ahn Bo Hyun sits down with a getting to know more segment with host Sam Oh. “Boss-tagram” is the first game to break the ice, Bo Hyun was shown some snaps from his Instagram account and tries to recall such fond memories of him during the time the photos were taken. It was so relaxed and it somehow feels like having a very intimate conversation with Bo Hyun.
Moreover, the show held a mini awards segment called “Boss Awards” where pre-show–fans were asked to vote via putting stickers on their best answers.
