Broadcaster Lee Sang-min has emerged as the key strategist of 'The Traitors X' with overwhelming insight and veteran-like sophistication.
In episode 4 of Wave Original 'The Traitors X' released on the 17th, Lee Sang-min dominated the money challenge with sharp analysis and experienced strategic maneuvering. When Kim Yu-hyun asked for help purchasing additional voting rights during the elimination candidate selection process, Lee Sang-min devised a meticulous strategy by pretending to cooperate while luring his opponent to deplete their funds. He told his teammates, "Helping was a lie," and declared, "From now on, I have no choice but to play the villain," creating intense tension.
Lee Sang-min's performance was equally standout in the subsequent money challenge 'blind auction.' After confirming the game rules where players predict the value of undisclosed item cards, he grasped the essence by saying, "Expensive auction items will dominate the game." He then displayed his 'human appraiser' skills by accurately identifying the market value of items such as a Patek Philippe watch and Warren Buffett lunch rights, earning his teammates' unwavering trust.
In round 4, Lee Sang-min engaged in sophisticated psychological warfare by hiding a cube inside his clothes to secure a profit card first. In the Seongsu-dong apartment auction, he drew laughter with an honest confession that he has no house, while demonstrating cool situational judgment to lead the flow of the auction and contribute to team P1's strategic advantage.
Shortly after episode 4's release, viewers poured hot praise on Lee Sang-min's seasoned mental gameplay and on-site reading ability. Wave Original 'The Traitors X,' where Lee Sang-min proved his unpredictable strategic instincts, attracts anticipation for what kind of reversals he will create in the remaining journey. The show airs on Wave every Friday at 11 a.m.
