On January 28th KST, Lee Yi Kyung was named Best Male Entertainer at the 2024 MBC Entertainment Awards.
Recognized for his contributions to’Hangout With Yoo,‘his win was met with widespread agreement despite strong competition.
Lee Yi Kyung began by reflecting on his recent film,‘Hitman 2,‘which took years to complete.
He emphasized,“A movie like ‘Hitman 2’ takes 3-4 years from pre-production to release.
It takes 120 minutes to make a film, and dramas are similar.
But in Korea, variety shows produce over an hour of content every single week.
It still amazes me.”
They dont tell us.
We film, and sometimes they cut everything if its not funny.
Once again, I just want to say how incredible the variety industry is."
In reality, ‘Hangout With Yoo’ follows a brutal production schedule.
Other variety shows are no different.
It would help if we could work with a little more peace of mind."
Despite the weight of his speech, the ‘Hangout With Yoo’ cast lightened the mood.
While the moment ended on a lighthearted note, the issues raised by Lee Yi Kyung remain relevant.
