The plight of Lee Kyung-kyu was depicted in "One-Tang Project-My Turn." The entertainment patriarch faced a situation where he even heard harsh words like "has-been."
The SBS entertainment show "One-Tang Project-My Turn" was broadcast on the 4th.
On that day, the members who took the stage as "Bongtan Sonyeondan" were asked about the financial settlement for the event. Regarding the grant, Lee Kyung-kyu said, "Aren't you going to buy me meat?" and suddenly Lee Kyung-kyu shot an arrow at Kim Won-hoon, who exclaimed, "Did I do something wrong when you two are fighting hard?" He exploded with indignation, claiming, "It's unfair to only make me funny while being a patriarch of entertainment; I feel wronged too."
Lee Kyung-kyu said, "I'm your senior, Lee Kyung-kyu," to which Kim Won-hoon replied, "The only senior I truly respect is Yoo Jae-suk. Honestly, I didn't want to work with you," going on a rampage. Lee Kyung-kyu, infuriated, even threw off his wig. Ultimately, Kim Won-hoon delivered a final blow, stating, "You're the old Lee Kyung-kyu," leaving Lee Kyung-kyu flustered as he said, "There's no hierarchy here," while everyone advised them, "Don't really get mad."
The next day, the meeting of SBS's Inkigayo was depicted. Lee Kyung-kyu actively appealed to the PD of Inkigayo about Bongtan Sonyeondan. However, it was not an easy situation.
Later, Lee Kyung-kyu, searching for a restroom, happened to overhear his own gossip. The Inkigayo PD was gossiping about Lee Kyung-kyu to the Director General. They mentioned, "It has been 10 years since Kyung-kyu's 'Healing Camp,' hasn't it? Haven't you not seen him on other shows all this time?" They continued, "There's a reason why he's not used; even if he appears, it's not entertaining." Eventually, they kept saying, "Nobody uses him anymore, he's a has-been, a has-been! It's the worst; he's lost his touch. When was the last time Lee Kyung-kyu was relevant?"
Coincidentally, Tak Jae-hoon, who was in another stall in the restroom, heard the conversation and exclaimed, "I heard everything; what is this talk of being a has-been? How can you say that about a legendary figure?" He was outraged, stating, "Our Kyung-kyu is not someone you can speak of indiscriminately; that's too harsh. No matter the company, I heard everything," while the PDs apologetically hurried out.
Lee Kyung-kyu also ended the meeting without any gain. He called Tak Jae-hoon and suggested they have lunch together.
