"The secret of the celeb soldier" reveals the dramatic life, aging and death of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Also, Jang Doyoun is startled by an untimely "illegal controversy(?)."
On the 16th broadcast of KBS2's "The secret of the celeb soldier," actor Ji Seung-hyun and historian Im Yong-han will reveal the life, aging and death of the "undefeated commander" Admiral Yi Sun-sin and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who opposed him. Ji Seung-hyun, known as the "confident general image," delivered a flawless performance that captured the dual nature of Lord Oda Nobunaga, who promoted Toyotomi Hideyoshi from a peasant, earning rave reviews from the MCs. Im Yong-han applauded the passionate performance, saying, "He was a truly terrifying lord. He had a style of confusing his subordinates."
When Oda Nobunaga, who held unrivaled power, was killed by a close aide, Toyotomi Hideyoshi seized the opportunity and took control of the Oda clan's power. He took Oda Nobunaga's daughter and niece as concubines and flaunted his power by building a golden tea room. But despite rising from a commoner to become Japan's top power holder, the kanpaku, he lacked one thing. He kept 16 concubines and more than 200 women were given as tribute, yet he had no heir for a long time even after turning fifty. Regarding this situation, Lee Chan-won raised the tension with a vivid performance that bolstered the "infertility theory," saying, "Remember the concubine who left, saying she was weak? As soon as she married another man, she got pregnant right away!" Ji Seung-hyun also drew laughter by responding, "It's a mess, it's a mess!" and adding, "seedless watermelon..." However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's first son, who dispelled the infertility theory, was born. When that son died before his second birthday, Hideyoshi instead fanned the dream of "conquering Joseon." At that time, he ordered that "○○" be captured and brought from Joseon, raising questions. "Doctor MC" Lee Nak-jun exploded with curiosity, asking, "In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms they take enemy women. Was there a famous woman in Joseon too?"
Meanwhile, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who started the war, is also famous for being the first in Japanese history to institutionalize something. Lee Chan-won said of this, "In modern times this would of course be illegal," provoking once more a question. Lee Nak-jun guessed "surrogate mother," and Ji Seung-hyun guessed "frozen eggs." Jang Doyoun shrieked and laughed, "No! It's legal! I froze (eggs)!" The broadcast will reveal what Hideyoshi ordered to be captured in Joseon and what he was the first to institutionalize.
The first Korean medical storytelling variety show that uncovers the secret lives of historical celebrities, "The secret of the celeb soldier" Yi Sun-sin episode will air on KBS2 at 8:30 p.m. on the 16th.
