Lee Eun-gyeol said he spent only hundreds of billions of won on equipment.
On the 12th episode of MBC's Omniscient Interfering View, illusionist Lee Eun-gyeol and Maist AI researcher Heo Seong-beom appeared.
Lee Eun-gyeol said he has been busy preparing for his 30th anniversary show. His assistant said he reduces his sleep to prepare and called him "a person obsessed with work." After catching only a short nap, Lee Eun-gyeol overcame his fatigue and began getting ready for work. Returning to the imagination factory, an ultra-large 870-pyeong facility, Lee Eun-gyeol once again devoted himself to preparing for the show.
Lee Eun-gyeol revealed a gigantic train and said, "Design alone took three years. It's the price of a car," and then said that he spent more than 20 billion won just on equipment used for the performance, explaining, "Creating something that doesn't exist involves repeated trial and error. The floating train used at the 20th anniversary was 200 million won when first purchased. Since then it has been unusable."
Afterward, Lee Eun-gyeol appeared intensely nervous ahead of the performance. He shouted and his legs trembled. Lee Eun-gyeol confessed, "I've always had stage fright. I've never overcome it. Going on stage is the process of overcoming that fear."
He added, "I go up feeling constricted. I have a persona I set. There is a set routine to become that persona," and showed he could not stay still for a moment.
