Kian84's activities are noteworthy. Recently, he has been praised for showcasing a series of positive influences on the entertainment programs he appears in, to the extent that he is referred to as 'Seonhaeng84' instead of 'Gihang84'.
On the 23rd, during the MBC entertainment program 'Home Alone', Kian84 participated in a mural painting volunteer activity at an orphanage with his school juniors. He went back to the orphanage, where he has had a connection through donations for seven years, to volunteer by painting murals.
Kian84 introduced the orphanage by saying, "It's a place I have been connected with since the time when I was busy with webtoon serialization," and revealed, "This time, I visited the orphanage for a mural volunteer activity for the children." His seamless communication with the children at the orphanage drew admiration. The members of the 'Home Alone' rainbow team also expressed their surprise, saying, "The more we see, the more genuine he is."
Kian84's heartfelt philanthropy can also be easily spotted in another of his fixed entertainment shows, the MBC entertainment program 'Taegyeongilju'. Since the first season of 'Taegyeongilju', Kian84 has emphasized friendship with local friends in travel destinations. In the first season of 'Taegyeongilju', he traveled to South America and formed a close bond with the Porphy family. Kian84 supported the reinforcement of safety ropes for the Porphy family, who were relying on a single rope while crossing steep cliff canyons. This led to the Porphy family appearing on the MBC Everyone show 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?', where Kian84 emotionally surprised them by gifting them sneakers and personally seeing them off upon their reunion in Korea.
Kian84's activities have caught attention in the currently airing 'Taegyeongilju4'. In this season, which covers the journey of Chama Go-do, Kian84 encountered local boys who have been active as Sherpas from a young age in Nepal from the beginning. He not only gifted sneakers but also continued his connection by giving them Korean language books after returning to Korea, as the boys precariously climbed the Himalayas relying on only a single flip-flop. The production team of 'Taegyeongilju' even shared study certification photos of the boys, now his local friends, through the official YouTube channel, creating a heartwarming atmosphere.
Kian84 typically tears wet wipes with his side, eats with his hands if he has no chopsticks, and bends over to eat on the floor if there's no table, earning him the nickname 'Gihang84' for embodying the spirit of 'living life as it comes.' Perhaps this change in demeanor is due to the weight that has shifted since he received entertainment awards. His continued philanthropy is creating a new wave of positive influence, so much so that he could be called 'Seonhaeng84'. This miraculous transformation in image is making people speculate about the chances of winning awards at the year-end ceremonies for 'Taegyeongilju4'. Attention is focused on Kian84's activities.
