In the program 'Problematic Men of the Attic 2', variety show lend Lee Kyung-kyu shared the 'sad yet funny' anecdote that occurred at the 2020 KBS Entertainment Awards because he was mentioned as a strong candidate.
On the 24th, Lee Kyung-kyu appeared on KBS2TV 'Problematic Men of the Attic 2' and recounted the story behind the grand award.
Lee Kyung-kyu reminisced about leading popular shows on KBS, such as 'Dogs Are Amazing' and 'New Release Pyeon Restaurant,' and confidently said, 'I created a lot. I'm the main one.' On the other hand, regarding Kim Sook, he remarked, 'She did about 5 or 6 things without even being aware, with no presence,' hinting at self-deprecation. Particularly about 'Dogs Are Amazing,' he mentioned, 'That year, I actually got bitten on the butt by a dog, and at that moment, I thought, 'This is worthy of a grand award,'' referring to the dog bite incident and even revealing the 'glorious wound.'
A few months later, Lee Kyung-kyu, who anticipated the 2020 KBS Entertainment Awards ceremony, recalled, 'The president also came to greet us, and even Kim Sook came and shook hands. The atmosphere was completely mine.' However, soon after, the grand award went to Kim Sook, and Lee Kyung-kyu's shocked expression as he left the venue was broadcast live. Kim Sook revealed, 'There was actually a decisive factor. Although Shin Dong-yeop and Kim Jong-min were there, only my senior, Lee Kyung-kyu, was confirmed for an interview. Preparations were even made for Entertainment Relay,' causing a stir. In response, Joo Woo-jae humorously remarked, 'Isn't that a mock interview?'
In the end, Lee Kyung-kyu laughed, saying, 'I was even thinking of treating everyone to a meal... At the moment of being called, when 'Kim' was announced, I was dumbfounded. Isn't my surname Kim?' He revealed, 'At that time, the president also apologized, and many around also said they were sorry. But if I said something then, I would have been completely out. I said it in a way that it's necessary for my junior to win.' At the time of the 2020 Entertainment Awards, Kim Sook, who won the grand award, said, 'I am grateful and sorry,' bringing laughter.
Thus, Lee Kyung-kyu said, 'An eye sore that is unpleasant to see? The thorns are not made by others; they are self-made,' adding, 'Kim Sook should have said she wouldn't receive the grand award. Why didn't she think of that?' bringing laughter. Kim Sook replied, 'A year later, she told me to bring the trophy, saying it was hers,' which made everyone laugh.
However, amid their 'bickering' relationship, there was a touching afterstory. It was that Lee Kyung-kyu secretly watched Kim Sook and Song Eun-yi's concert. Song Eun-yi conveyed her gratitude, saying, 'I found out later. The senior quietly bought a ticket and was there.' Kim Sook also expressed her appreciation, saying, 'At first, I thought he was just an audience member, but later I was surprised to hear it was senior Lee Kyung-kyu. It wasn't for monitoring; he genuinely came because he was curious about his juniors' stage.' When asked if it was 'half audience, half monitoring,' Lee Kyung-kyu retorted, 'How old do you think I am?' adding, 'I wanted to see what stage my juniors were putting together,' showcasing a warm interest and affection towards the juniors, even amidst his strong presence as the variety show lend.
