Comedian Lee Sang-jun almost became related by marriage to fellow comedian Park Na-rae.
On the 23rd, Lee Sang-jun appeared as a guest on the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' along with actor Lim Won-hee, singer Lee Gi-chan, and comedian Yoon Hyung-bin.
Among them, Lee Sang-jun drew attention for returning to 'Radio Star' after 9 years. He said that he developed an inferiority complex because he had boldly appeared on 'Radio Star' in the past but couldn't bring big laughs due to mismatched comedic styles.
He confessed, "I have an inferiority complex, so I don't contact people who have been on air for over a year. I would appreciate it if they contact me first, but if I contact them first, it feels like I'm clinging to friends who are doing well." He also mentioned that he doesn't contact Jang Doyoun and Yoon Se-yoon, who are actually MCs on 'Radio Star.'
The close colleague comedian that Lee Sang-jun is so familiar with that even his family knows him is none other than Park Na-rae. Recently, Lee Sang-jun received praise for his pink romance with singer Wax on KBS 2TV's entertainment program 'Pursuing Old Encounters Season 2'. It is said that Park Na-rae's mother directly contacted Lee Sang-jun.
Lee Sang-jun revealed, "Many people liked my appearance on 'Pursuing Old Encounters 2'. There were many reactions saying, 'Try marrying my daughter,' and some even sent me their profile on social media directly."
In particular, he stated, "Park Na-rae's mother also said that it seems unlikely to talk about Na-rae, so she suggested that I meet Na-rae's cousin. She told me, 'Even if I can't make you my son-in-law, I want to include you in the family.' When I asked why she liked me so much, she said she didn't want to miss someone with a good face."
After this, Lee Sang-jun finished the call with Park Na-rae's mother, asking her to confirm the willingness of the blind date partner before contacting him. However, there was no contact from Park Na-rae's mother afterward. Lee Sang-jun was not discouraged. On the contrary, he confidently said, "I don't think that person has seen 'Pursuing Old Encounters' at all," which added to the humor.
