Squid Game actor Wi Ha Joon will be putting on a helmet this time after the huge success of his latest project 'Squid Game'.

Bad and Crazy follows a series of events that happened when the talented but misguided man Soo Yeol meets K, who is crazy and wants to bring justice to the world. The Uncanny Counter crew and Lee Dong Wook, Wi Ha Joon, and Han Ji Eun teamed up to show a cheerful and thrilling hero drama.

The actor has completely erased his Squid Game image and transformed himself into "K", who is a helmet guy with a crazy sense of justice. Covered in oil, Wi Ha Joon has an innocent smile like a child, but the “craziness” in the image can be sensed based on his expression.

K, portrayed by Wi Ha Joon, is a man who believes that he is born to bring justice to a corrupt world. Meanwhile, Lee Dong Wook portrays the role of Soo Yeol, the corrupt detective.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
