Broadcaster Lee Sang-min invited seven members of the streaming series Game of Blood X
to his home to review the fourth episode on the YouTube channel ‘Lee Sang-min’s Position’, offering unbroadcasted behind-the-scenes stories, humor, and candid admissions about the blind auction.
Hosting seven of his fellow cast members for an at-home watch party of the fourth episode, Lee leaned into his trademark blend of self-deprecation and sharp banter, delivering a trove of behind-the-scenes admissions that never made the final edit.
Hosting Cast Members and Delivering Unfiltered Banter
The tone for the gathering was set before the television even switched on. When red juice accidentally splattered onto his clothes, Lee quipped, Let’s start the game of blood,
drawing immediate laughter from the room. Stepping naturally into the role of host, he kept his guests’ glasses filled—notably offering a refill for Kang Ji-hoo—while simultaneously tossing sharp remarks across the room. Turning to Hong Jin-ho, Lee joked, Jin-ho, you’re all about money in every episode,
prompting Park Ji-min to fire back a playful jab at her host.
Lee’s eccentric variety instincts surfaced again when he pulled out a face mask in the middle of the gathering to soothe his flushed skin, which had reddened from the evening’s drinks. Later, as the episode queued up the rules for the high-stakes blind auction, Lee fast-forwarded through the explanation segment. The cast immediately protested, accusing him of rushing past the tutorial just to reach his own standout moments.
Revealing the Secrets Behind the Warren Buffett Auction Scene
The focal point of the watch party was the much-discussed ‘Warren Buffett’ blind auction, a sequence that dominated audience conversations online. When pressed about fast-forwarding the rules, Lee offered a characteristic, awkward smile without denying that he wanted to see his own triumph on screen quickly.
Beyond what aired on television, Lee offered a dose of unfiltered confidence regarding the auction mechanics, explaining the psychological edge he held during production.
“If I hadn’t mentioned it, no matter how high they thought it was, they wouldn’t have gone over 3 billion won.”

That strategic self-assurance extended to logistical chaos behind the scenes. Lee confessed to hiding a auction cube inside his pants during filming and admitted that he inadvertently passed incorrect price information regarding the cube to Lee Tae-gyun, sparking genuine confusion among the participants.
Clearing the Air After Unbroadcasted Chaos
The watch party also exposed secrets from the very beginning of the series. Recalling his premature exit from the competition during the first episode, Lee admitted, You chased me out, so I climbed over the wall and secretly listened in!
bringing more laughter from the assembled cast.
On the financial front, Lee maintained his larger-than-life spender persona while reviewing the auction fallout, noting, I don’t know how much I spent. I just buy it.
However, the lighthearted review also served a restorative purpose for the cast relationships. Lee revealed that watching the broadcasted footage gave him a complete view of the auction’s misunderstandings for the first time, allowing him to reconcile amicably with Lee Tae-gyun and clear the air over the pricing confusion. With the core cast of ‘Game of Blood X’ also slated for an appearance on JTBC’s ‘Knowing Bros’, the reunion highlights how survival show alliances and off-screen camaraderie continue to expand across digital and television platforms.
