In 'The Lover of Joseon', Shim Hyun-seob went to meet Lee Byung-hun's motivation to meet him.
On the 21st, the TV Chosun broadcast of 'The Lover of Joseon' featured efforts to secure Lee Byung-hun.
On that day, Shim Hyun-seob and Lee Cheon-soo were depicted. The café owner mentioned, 'Lee Byung-hun's agency is nearby', and Lee Cheon-soo stated that the hair stylist at the salon has a 20-year connection with Lee Byung-hun. They decided to meet the salon director, the last connection, and a major operation to secure Lee Byung-hun's social engagement was planned. Lee Cheon-soo even carried a sign for Lee Byung-hun and strolled around Apgujeong.
Finally, they met the salon director who has been responsible for Lee Byung-hun's hairstyle for 20 years. They confirmed Lee Byung-hun's number, and it was the correct one. However, the director also mentioned that the last contact was after 2016. They had been out of touch for 9 years.
Afterward, they depicted the scene three weeks before the wedding. Shim Hyun-seob mentioned it was the 'last hidden card', referring to actor Kim Jung-kyun.
He was a fellow talent from their rookie days. The three, including wife Jeong Min-kyung, all graduated from KBS's 14th talent class. A friend of Lee Byung-hun mentioned that Kim Jung-kyun has a 30-year connection with Lee Byung-hun, saying, 'I raised him.'
Shim Hyun-seob once again mentioned that Lee Byung-hun had promised to officiate at the wedding, to which Kim Jung-kyun said, 'Byung-hun knows his personality', and 'He worked with me on dramas for 3 years when we were rookies. He is a friend who makes a lot of promises about the future.'
He continued, 'And that friend keeps his promises, not the style who just throws around worthless promises.'
