Lee Pil-mo on 'Radio Star' to Recap His Filmography with Laughs, From 'Face Gags' to 'Dae Jang Geum' Behind-the-Scenes

Actor Lee Pil-mo will appear on MBC's 'Radio Star' to humorously summarize his acting career.

This Wednesday, the 17th, 'Radio Star' will feature a special episode titled 'Please Take Care of My Filmography' with guests Kim Tae-won, Lee Pil-mo, Kim Yong-myung, and Shim Ja-yoon. Lee Pil-mo is set to share candid and witty anecdotes, ranging from his golden days as a 'ratings guaranteed success' to his current situation as a 'big fish' on the free agency market.

He will vividly recall the atmosphere of his peak period, marked by major hit dramas like 'The Sons of Sol Pharmacy,' which exceeded a 40% viewership rating, as well as 'A Hundred Year's Inheritance' and 'You Are My Destiny.' His lighthearted remarks about drama directors waiting for him back then are expected to elicit explosive reactions from the MCs, filling the studio with laughter.

Episodes where he spared no effort for his roles will also be shared. He recently appeared as the eldest brother in 'Please Take Care of the Eagle Five,' and he will reveal the casting behind-the-scenes. Furthermore, he'll recount a memorable, edge-of-your-seat episode from his days as an extra in 'Dae Jang Geum,' where he reportedly flustered lead actors Lee Young-ae and Ji Jin-hee, promising unexpected humor.

He will also discuss his changed mindset as a father of two and his married life with his wife Seo Soo-yeon. Notably, he plans to showcase his sharp wit by revealing secrets about their first meeting that even the production team of 'Taste of Love' was unaware of.

Lee Pil-mo's variety show talent will peak with his 'face gags.' His ability to turn the studio into a sea of laughter, even making Yoo Se-yoon look like a 'proboscis monkey,' will be showcased. An anecdote about being called 'Chow Yun-fat' during his Seoul Institute of the Arts days as a 'handsome in person' will also add a twist of humor.

Behind-the-scenes stories from his time working with Kim So-yeon on 'Home Sweet Home' will also be revealed. The revelation that Lee Pil-mo experienced an unexpected 'backstab' while filming the drama that led to the birth of the Kim So-yeon and Lee Sang-woo couple is said to have sent everyone into fits of laughter.

From his ratings-guaranteed days to his current concerns, Lee Pil-mo's diverse filmography stories can be checked out on 'Radio Star,' airing this Wednesday, the 17th, at 10:30 PM KST.

Netizens are expressing excitement for Lee Pil-mo's appearance, commenting, 'It's great to see Actor Lee Pil-mo again, he's still so funny!', 'I'm curious about the Dae Jang Geum episode,' and 'Looking forward to the story about Kim So-yeon from Home Sweet Home.'
