'Lend' Lee Kyung-kyu was caught off guard by a behind-the-scenes conversation among producers at an SBS entertainment scene.
On the 4th, SBS's variety show 'One-Time Project - My Turn' revealed the 'Bongtan Boys' members experiencing a tricky situation behind the scenes regarding grants and event settlement issues. That day, Lee Kyung-kyu reacted, saying, 'Don't you buy meat?' but continued with unexpected remarks during a conversation with Kim Won-hoon, heightening the tension.
Kim Won-hoon expressed his frustration when Lee Kyung-kyu pointed out his expectation for the juniors to 'boost the atmosphere,' saying, 'What did I do wrong? The two are fighting severely.' He added, 'What have I done worse than Lee Soo-ji? I'm even better in terms of weight,' and snapped, 'Even Tak Jae-hoon is at risk. Nam Yoon-soo's performance was crucial, but you came and ruined it,' causing the situation to grow tense.
Eventually, Kim Won-hoon stated, 'The only senior I genuinely respect is Yoo Jae-seok. Honestly, I didn't want to work with the senior,' and spoke directly, leading Lee Kyung-kyu to throw off his wig in anger. As the two revealed their uncomfortable feelings, those around them intervened, saying, 'Don't really get angry.'
The next day, the tension continued at the SBS 'Inkigayo' meeting. Despite Lee Kyung-kyu's efforts to appeal to the producers regarding the Bongtan Boys, the meeting did not go as smoothly as expected. During this time, Lee Kyung-kyu, looking for the restroom, overheard a shocking conversation. An 'Inkigayo' producer remarked to the Director General, 'He hasn't been used in other programs in the ten years since 'Healing Camp.' I don't even know if he's funny,' and continued with derogatory remarks, 'No one uses him anymore. He's a has-been; when is he even relevant?'
Upon hearing this from another room, Tak Jae-hoon immediately got angry. He protested strongly, saying, 'What do you mean? Is he a has-been, out of date? You can't speak like that. There are many legendary shows; how can you say such things about Lee Kyung-kyu?' The producers quickly apologized and left the room.
Ultimately, Lee Kyung-kyu did not achieve results at the meeting, but he called Tak Jae-hoon to arrange a lunch appointment. The two warmly exchanged greetings at the meal, concluding positively and delivering warmth to viewers at the end of the broadcast. Through this episode, Lee Kyung-kyu revealed his human side amid unexpected producers' gossip and support from juniors, once again confirming his position as a 'lend' in the entertainment industry.
