In 'Problematic Men in the Rooftop 2,' Lee Kyung Kyu pointed out the decline of longevity programs as a variety show lend.
On the 24th, Lee Kyung Kyu appeared on KBS2TV 'Problematic Men in the Rooftop 2.'
The 45-year veteran lend, Lee Kyung Kyu, revealed his hidden 'star maker' aspect throughout his long broadcasting career. Recently, he directly selected or actively recommended Hong Jin Kyung, Kim Gu Ra, and Boom, but he drew attention by confessing that he had never revealed this before.
Lend Lee Kyung Kyu candidly expressed his thoughts on representative longevity programs, emphasizing that a 'generational shift' is necessary in the variety show scene.
Recently, on the broadcast, Lee Kyung Kyu threw a direct comment at Kim Jong Kook of 'Running Man,' saying, 'You should stop doing that.' He also sharply criticized long-running variety programs such as MBC's 'King of Mask Singer' and KBS2's '1N2D,' stating, 'King of Mask Singer? I can't tell who it is even if the mask comes off,' and '1N2D? How would I know if the kids are really staying overnight?' in his characteristic cheerful manner.
Lee Kyung Kyu pointed out the reality of both viewers and production teams becoming accustomed to the identity of longevity programs with similar long-term patterns, stating, 'Since it's a show you already know, it doesn't matter if you watch it or not. The broadcasting station is in trouble if the ratings don't come out, so they play it safe,' especially mentioning, 'If a boat is only in the harbor, then it's not a boat. Programs need to change continuously and can't be static.'
Lee Kyung Kyu stated that the recent resumption of tvN's 'Problematic Men in the Rooftop' after 1 year and 3 months is 'a good choice,' while also pointing out, 'There are too many unnecessary MCs in variety shows nowadays. Assistants are also MCs.' Nevertheless, he mentioned the advantage that 'it's cost-effective. Viewers can watch comfortably.'
