Comedian Kim Won-hoon gained attention as he revealed behind-the-scenes stories from the Baeksang Arts Awards, a comical yet painful incident with Shin Dong-kyu, and his ambition for the 'My Ugly Duckling' MC position.
On the 26th, the YouTube channel 'Jjanhan Hyung' featured Shin Dong-kyu, Kim Min-kyo, Ji Ye-eun, and Kim Won-hoon reminiscing about moments from the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards.
On that day, Shin Dong-kyu said, 'These days, Won-hoon is on fire,' and praised Kim Won-hoon as 'the second Shin Dong-kyu.' He complimented him, saying, 'He is also leading the gatherings.' However, he soon revealed with a laugh, 'He slightly cursed during the live broadcast at Baeksang,' and Kim Won-hoon, flustered, explained, 'It was not because you won the award, brother. There was a brief unfortunate incident.'
Shin Dong-kyu, jokingly said, 'Please, I beg you, don't curse. I didn't curse at the judges either,' and Kim Won-hoon bowed his head, saying, 'I'm really sorry.' Shin Dong-kyu sincerely encouraged him, saying, 'There will be next year and the year after that. Your time will come,' to which Kim Won-hoon replied, 'I'm really happy to be praised by my role model Dong-kyu.'
In fact, even after failing to win an award, Kim Won-hoon expressed gratitude through social media, saying, 'Just being nominated for a big stage is already something to be thankful for,' adding, 'I will work hard with an even humbler attitude,' which received applause.
However, the after-story was humorous. Kim Won-hoon laughed, saying, 'I was listening to the award acceptance speech and when I was caught on camera, I hurriedly smiled, but it rather looked forced,' and when asked, 'Did you really think you would win 100%?' he joked, 'Absolutely not, but just in case, I wrote down a name I wanted to thank.' He added, 'I even pay attention to my underwear on SNL. I work five times harder than Dong-kyu,' emphasizing, 'I am putting my life on the line for comedy,' and Shin Dong-kyu acknowledged him, saying, 'While greeting, my pants slipped down and my trunk underwear showed. I did anything to be funny.'
However, the junior Ji Ye-eun bluntly pointed out, 'The ad-libs for playing anger management disorder didn't land well; I wanted to pause filming with Unni Suzy. Kim Won-hoon is not a pro yet. He's an amateur,' and Kim Won-hoon humbly admitted, 'I too am still inexperienced.' Suddenly, he revealed his ambition, saying, 'I'm aiming for the MC position for 'My Ugly Duckling.' I want to advance to terrestrial broadcasting. I want to captivate the public,' prompting the members to jokingly respond, 'Kim Won-hoon has become arrogant' and 'He is conceited,' which made everyone laugh.
Currently, Kim Won-hoon is actively working and has even earned the nickname 'the second Shin Dong-kyu' through 'Jjanhan Hyung' and SNL Korea.
