In "Lovers of Joseon", actor Kim Jung-kyun, a friend of Lee Byung-hun, was visited, which also drew attention to Lee Byung-hun's past appearance. In this context, Shim Hyun-seop expressed disappointment after failing to recruit Lee Byung-hun through Kim Jung-kyun, whom he proudly claimed to be a friend of 30 years.
The episode broadcast on the 21st featured Lee Byung-hun's recruitment efforts.
The operations for recruiting Lee Byung-hun were depicted. Lee Chun-soo even paraded around Apgujeong holding a signboard for Lee Byung-hun. After that, the scene three weeks before the wedding was drawn. Shim Hyun-seop mentioned this as the "last hidden card," which turned out to be actor Kim Jung-kyun. They were peers who spent time together during their rookie days. All three, including his wife Jung Min-kyung, are graduates from KBS's 14th talent group. It was noted that they are still having gatherings.
In particular, everyone remarked on Lee Byung-hun's past appearance, saying he looked "like DiCaprio, with a wonderful smile."
At that time, a friend of Lee Byung-hun mentioned that Kim Jung-kyun has a 30-year connection with Lee Byung-hun, stating, "I raised him (Lee Byung-hun)." Shim Hyun-seop once again referenced Lee Byung-hun's promise to officiate a wedding, and Kim Jung-kyun said, "Byung-hun knows his character," adding, "He is a friend who makes many promises about the future, and he keeps them. He's not the type to casually throw around promises."
Moreover, he recently had a conversation with Lee Min-jung. Kim Jung-kyun replied, "When I called Byung-hun, Lee Min-jung picked up, but that was about a year ago," and they decided to compare contact information. Notably, Kim Jung-kyun had also reached out to Lee Byung-hun two months ago. However, he did not receive a reply. It was noted that the message was read. He confirmed that the number was indeed correct.
As a result, he decided to try calling Lee Byung-hun. Again, it was a mobile phone that was turned off. Kim Jung-kyun, who is a peer, also looked bewildered. He then left a message saying, "You will hear back right away, don't worry." Eventually, his wife Jung Min-kyung suggested, "You should get insurance," leading to an unexpected turn of events that also left Shim Hyun-seop puzzled.
