Singer Le Chanwon was criticized by Ko Young-wook to "focus on his main work," but he calmly continued the program. He even went so far as to do an impression, increasing viewers' immersion.

On the April 4 broadcast of KBS2 "The secrets of celebrity soldiers," the late Lee Kun-hee's astonishing insight and final years are featured.

Samsung Electronics recorded an operating profit of more than 89 trillion won in the second quarter of this year, surpassing Nvidia and Apple to become the world's No. 1 company by operating profit, and at the center of this brilliant performance was the late Lee Kun-hee, who cultivated the semiconductor business without retreating despite numerous obstacles.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's connection with Korea began 30 years ago, in 1996, when Jensen Huang, who was on the verge of bankruptcy, received a handwritten letter from Lee Kun-hee. After that, Jensen Huang first set foot in Korea, and the behind-the-scenes story is revealed of how Lee Kun-hee's insight, which recognized the potential of someone whose name was then unfamiliar, led to the joint growth of Korean e-sports and Nvidia.

That does not mean Lee Kun-hee's start was smooth. Born as the third son, far from an heir, he was absorbed in taking apart machines in his childhood, and even his father, Lee Byung-chul, evaluated that "his personality did not suit corporations." Early in his tenure, Lee Kun-hee, who was treated like an "invisible man" among veteran executives and lived in seclusion, shouted "change everything except my wife and children" at the New Management declaration in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1993, throwing down the gauntlet.

From the decisive scene considered to have shifted management from quantity to quality, to buying the semiconductor company with his own fortune against everyone's advice, and the choices that changed the future of Samsung's semiconductors, Lee Kun-hee's gambles are revealed.

Lee Kun-hee, who saw the future earlier than anyone else, fell in 2014 from an acute myocardial infarction and was swamped by all kinds of rumors such as "he is being kept alive in a cryonic state" and "he is already dead." Le Chanwon reportedly perfectly channeled Lee Kun-hee with his distinctive dialect, surprising the studio.

Meanwhile, Choi Daniel, who participated in the studio recording, said regarding whether he invests in stocks, "I belatedly bought four shares of Samsung Electronics." Saying he still does not know well and did not sell and barely looked at them for two months, Shuka praised him, calling it "a very excellent investment method."
