Lee Chan-won Transforms into a 'Dracula Expert' on KBS2's 'Celeb Soldier's Secret'

The 'Chantobaegi,' Lee Chan-won, is set to transform into a 'Dracula expert' for an upcoming broadcast, sparking global fans' curiosity.

Appearing on KBS2TV's 'Celeb Soldier's Secret' on the 4th, Lee Chan-won will delve into the hidden stories of Vlad III, widely known as 'Dracula.'

Vlad III, the 15th-century ruler of Wallachia in Romania, is a figure of stark contrasts – feared for his brutal reign yet revered as a hero by many Romanians. Amidst these conflicting perspectives, Lee Chan-won will unravel the complex narratives intertwined with his life, promising to ignite viewer interest.

During the show, comedian Jeong Seong-ho poses a question that echoes many viewers' thoughts: "How did Dracula, who is hailed as a hero, get the nickname 'vampire'?"

In response, Lee Chan-won shares a fascinating revelation from recent scientific analysis of Vlad III's handwritten letters, where protein analysis detected traces of blood, adding a layer of mystery to the legend.

'Doctor MC' Lee Nak-joon further speculates about 'hematohidrosis,' a condition where blood may appear in tears under specific circumstances. Lee Chan-won then introduces 'porphyria,' a rare disorder that could potentially explain vampire-like traits such as pale skin and aversion to sunlight and garlic, often depicted in media, drawing viewers deeper into the subject.

Did vampires truly exist? The truth behind Vlad III, the historical figure behind the 'Dracula' myth, will be unveiled on the upcoming episode of 'Celeb Soldier's Secret.'

Netizens are expressing significant anticipation, with comments like, "Looking forward to Lee Chan-won's expert-level historical explanations," "I'm really curious about Dracula being called a hero," and "This is another new side of Chantobaegi being revealed!"
