Lee Kyung-kyu Stunned by Producers' Harsh Remarks, Tak Jae-hoon Steps Up in Fiery Defense

Veteran entertainer Lee Kyung-kyu faced a shocking revelation on the latest episode of SBS's 'Hantang Project-My Turn'. While passionately promoting his new group, 'Ppongtan Sonyeondan,' to an 'Inkigayo' producer, Lee Kyung-kyu later overheard a conversation between the 'Inkigayo' PD and a senior producer in a restroom. To his dismay, they were harshly criticizing him, calling him "crazy," "outdated," and questioning his relevance, even referring to his ten-year gap since 'Healing Camp.' Unbeknownst to the two producers, fellow entertainer Tak Jae-hoon was also in the restroom and emerged, furious. Tak Jae-hoon vehemently defended Lee Kyung-kyu, exclaiming, "How can you speak of a legendary figure like that? He has so many iconic shows under his belt. What's wrong with Lee Kyung-kyu hyung?" His impassioned stand for his senior drew significant attention.

Lee Kyung-kyu, often dubbed the "Godfather of Korean Variety," is one of the most influential and enduring figures in South Korean entertainment. With a career spanning decades, he is known for his signature "anger" persona and sharp wit, which have shaped the landscape of variety shows. He has hosted numerous successful programs, consistently demonstrating his unique comedic talent and leadership.
