Comedian Lee Kyung-kyu, praised for "Lee Kyung-kyu Goes," will be appearing once again on "What Do You Do When You Hang Out?"
On the 27th, OSEN reported exclusively that Lee Kyung-kyu's participation in the MBC entertainment program "What Do You Do When You Hang Out?" (abbreviated as "nolmwo") was revealed. According to OSEN's coverage, Lee Kyung-kyu participated as a guest in the recording of "What Do You Do When You Hang Out?" held that day.
Lee Kyung-kyu, often referred to as the 'lend' of entertainment, has previously made guest appearances on various episodes of "What Do You Do When You Hang Out?" Regarding the past ratings crisis, he met with Yoo Jae-suk and emphasized the importance of targeting the 60-89 age group instead of 20-49, providing humor and a 'sharp comment' simultaneously. Recently, on "nolmwo," he recreated the past "Conscience Refrigerator," drawing attention.
In particular, during the broadcast of "nolmwo" on the 8th, the segment on 'Conscience Refrigerator' recorded peak viewership ratings. His statement, "I will return with 'Lee Kyung-kyu Goes,'" marked a peak rating of 6.6% in the Nielsen Korea metropolitan area.
Lee Kyung-kyu's reappearance on "nolmwo" was made possible by this. In this regard, a representative from "What Do You Do When You Hang Out?" told OSEN, "The reaction to 'Lee Kyung-kyu Goes' was actually good. Both the production team and Mr. Lee Kyung-kyu were happy to have him back."
In addition, Kim Jin-yong, the director of "What Do You Do When You Hang Out?," noted in a previous phone call with OSEN, "When we requested the senior Mr. Lee Kyung-kyu to appear again, he welcomed our production team warmly. He expressed his desire to continue working together, and the production team also warmly requested his participation, leading to this collaboration."
Lee Kyung-kyu's 'Conscience Refrigerator' was loved as a precursor of 'kind entertainment' in the past. It delivered light-hearted laughter and warm messages on "What Do You Do When You Hang Out?" Previously, the show brought back the 16-year-old 'sudden attack' segment from 'Infinite Challenge' for struggling small business owners during the economic downturn, and it received praise for showcasing the daily lives of environmental sanitation workers and other nostalgic restoration projects. There is anticipation for how another project involving 'lend' Lee Kyung-kyu will resonate with the audience.
"What Do You Do When You Hang Out?" is a variety show where entertainment veterans Yoo Jae-suk and Ha-ha meet the entertainment personalities Jo Woo-jae, Park Jin-joo, Lee Yi-kyung, and Lee Mi-joo to do anything for laughter spontaneously. It continues the legacy of MBC's Saturday variety programming from "Infinite Challenge," airing every Saturday evening at 6:25 p.m.
