In 'Grants,' actor Lee Byung-hun appeared, displaying a genuine friendship with Shin Dong-yup and sharing behind-the-scenes moments from SNL.
On the 24th, a video titled 'EP. 85 Is It a Rehash? But We Get to Discuss ㄷㄷㅗㅇ! Warning for Close Friends' was posted on the 'Grants' channel, featuring actor Lee Byung-hun.
That day, actor Lee Byung-hun appeared and laughed, saying, 'It's really awkward to appear on variety shows.' In fact, the most frequent guest, Lee Byung-hun, said, 'I thought, I will go out one day. I feel like I have appeared once.'
Lee Byung-hun said, 'I have nothing to say; I met Shin Dong-yup three times.' Lee Byung-hun continued, 'Every day at home, I drink half a bottle of wine. One day, Dong-yup came over with an expensive bottle of wine, and it seemed like he was asking for something. Sure enough, it was about being cast for SNL.' He said, 'I was actually so nervous, I begged not to go on.' Lee Byung-hun said, 'Originally, Shin Dong-yup sleeps by 11, but he said he wouldn't leave until I said yes until 3 a.m. on the third day.' In response, Shin Dong-yup laughed and said, 'Everyone remember the three visits and the efforts.' When Shin Dong-yup expressed gratitude, saying, 'At that time, it was the first episode of season 1 starting SNL on Coupang Play,' Lee Byung-hun joked, 'And (Shin Dong-yup) has become a chaebol.'
Also, Lee Byung-hun mentioned that a lot of their company's juniors, including Lee Ji-ah, Park Hae-soo, and Lee Hee-joon, appeared on 'Grants,' saying, 'Before going on SNL, I asked them how to do it. I don't even know what mindset I had.' He said, 'Just let yourself go.' I really let go a lot; I still regret it.' Lee Byung-hun said, 'I shouldn't have left behind a meme that will be immortalized for promoting the movie. It's not very good. There's already a lot of memes.' When Shin Dong-yup responded, 'No, it's good,' Lee Byung-hun laughed, saying, 'Do we really have to make money like that?'
For that reason, these two are close friends who have known each other for 30 years. Lee Byung-hun expressed his gratitude, saying, 'Dong-yup and Seung-heon have never missed out on my family events.' Notably, there is a gathering of Song Seung-heon, So Ji-sub, Lee Byung-hun, and Shin Dong-yup. Lee Byung-hun shared, 'When I joke around, So Ji-sub takes it all in, even though he is the youngest and the most mature, always the one listening.' He mentioned, 'While basic interactions with Dong-yup are about acting, when I watch SNL, Dong-yup finds what I missed and performs it like a fox, which is a part I respect in him.' He shared this embarrassing story.
