Comedian Lee Kyung-kyu showed sensitivity to health issues.
On the 8th broadcast of MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo?', Lee Kyung-kyu appeared and revived the legendary entertainment program 'The Conscience Refrigerator.'
On that day, Yoo Jae-suk applauded the arrival of 'father of entertainment' Lee Kyung-kyu, saying, 'I always respect you, Kyung-kyu hyung.' At that time, Lee Yi-kyung sent a blessing, saying, 'Live long!' Taken aback, Lee Kyung-kyu reacted, 'Hey, are you telling me to die?' causing laughter.
Lee Kyung-kyu had experienced various health issues from myocardial infarction to gastric bleeding, retinal detachment, airport dysfunction, and diabetes. In response, he said, 'There hasn't been anyone who lived long when told to live long,' and Lee Yi-kyung said, 'Please stay by my side for life.' In response, Lee Kyung-kyu warned, 'Don't talk about life and death,' adding more laughter.
Later, Lee Kyung-kyu said, 'I have done many programs, but I thought I would like to revisit this one,' revealing that it would be themed as a special 'Conscience Refrigerator.' Yoo Jae-suk recalled, 'At that time, other programs from competing companies were doing well in that time slot. But 'The Conscience Refrigerator' was, in modern terms, viral. After its first broadcast, it suddenly became a topic of conversation among many people.'
However, 1994-born Lee Mi-joo asked, 'What kind of program is 'The Conscience Refrigerator'?' and Yoo Jae-suk replied, 'You might not know,' showing archive footage. To this, Lee Kyung-kyu expressed his pride, saying, 'At first, it wasn't called 'The Conscience Refrigerator.' The production team brought out a TV box. I got a lot of criticism. If you're going to give something, isn't it not your money? You should give something big. They told me to bring a refrigerator box and change it. I thought to myself, how can we attach our conscience to a refrigerator? It doesn't spoil if you put it in the refrigerator. That's why we named it 'The Conscience Refrigerator.'
To this, Joo Woo-jae remarked, 'Actually, it should be a freezer. Refrigeration spoils it slightly,' to which Lee Kyung-kyu retorted, 'You are someone who doesn't know the meaning of life. You should only eat frozen foods for life,' causing much laughter.
