Comedian Shim Hyun-seop finally met actor Lee Byung-hun after a long undercover operation.
In the episode of ‘Joseon’s Love Fool’ aired on the 21st, Shim Hyun-seop, who was preparing for his wedding, was shown trying to recruit Lee Byung-hun as a guest and MC for the ceremony.
Previously, Shim Hyun-seop revealed that Lee Byung-hun, who is a senior from his high school, had promised to be the MC for his wedding in the past. During a mid-check for the wedding song and MC recruitment, the chairman of the ‘Wedding Promotion Committee’, Lee Cheon-soo, appeared carrying a banner that read ‘Looking for Mr. Lee Byung-hun’ on his back, which brought laughter. Shim Hyun-seop attempted to contact Lee Byung-hun several times but stated, “Hyung Byung-hun’s phone has been off for a month.” Lee Cheon-soo also tried to approach Lee Byung-hun’s wife, Lee Min-jung, using the ‘friend of a friend’s friend chance’, but received the result that it was difficult to connect. Upon hearing this news, Shim Hyun-seop became serious and even considered ‘postponing the wedding’.
Then, Shim Hyun-seop received ‘top-secret information’ and decided to take a bold step by going directly to Lee Byung-hun’s filming location. The production team declared, “You said you were close... but you’re acting like you’re catching a criminal. Coincidentally, the new PD used to be a police officer,” announcing the ‘undercover operation’. Kim Gook-jin expressed excitement, saying, “If the PD is from the police, he must be skilled at undercover work.” As they changed cars for the operation, Choi Seong-guk remarked, “It really feels like I’m watching ‘Detective 25’ right now. I’m getting nervous too.”
While waiting for Lee Byung-hun, Shim Hyun-seop revealed the real reason he was so determined to recruit Lee Byung-hun, saying, “He is my favorite actor, and I want to show him to Young-rim.”
After a long undercover operation, Shim Hyun-seop finally met Lee Byung-hun. However, he was so nervous that he couldn’t even bring up the topic of the wedding MC and only managed to convey the time and place, which was disappointing. Once he calmed down, he said, “I didn’t mention the MC... I really missed something important...” which brought laughter. He concluded the operation by saying, “I think I’ve become a love fool for Hyung Byung-hun. I was excited.”
