The "Kyu-line" members are the only K-pop idols that can melt the heart of the "Entertainment godfather" Lee Kyung Kyu!
Lee Kyung Kyu is one of the most respected artists by K-pop artists and Korean celebrities. In fact, he was dubbed as the "Entertainment godfather" for his vast knowledge and experience in the entertainment industry.
In particular, Lee Kyung Kyu is a veteran actor and entertainer who has been in the field for 40 years and is known for his "stinging or scolding guests" gag on entertainment programs. Thus, stars are always wary around him to avoid being his target.
His "shout gag" has become his trademark throughout his career, thus it is always a surprising scenario when the veteran entertainer is calm and kinder around with the fewest people he chose to show this side of him.
