'Knowing Bros' Lee Bong-geun, Lookalike of Song Seung-heon + Lee Soo-geun? ... A Comparison
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Gugak artist Lee Bong-geun is drawing attention for his resemblance to actor Song Seung-heon and comedian Lee Soo-geun.
On the afternoon of the 20th, the comprehensive programming channel JTBC's variety show 'Knowing Bros' aired an episode featuring lead actress Lee Yoo-ri from the movie 'Soriggun' and Gugak artist Lee Bong-geun appearing as transfer students.
On that day, the members, seeing Lee Bong-geun's distinct facial features, said, "He looks like Song Seung-heon."
Seeing this, Kang Ho-dong said, "If you mix Song Seung-heon and Lee Soo-geun, you get Lee Bong-geun," causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Lee Bong-geun has received commendations from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Gugak Award for performance. Accordingly, Lee Yoo-ri introduced Lee Bong-geun as the 'idol of the Gugak world.'
Lee Yoo-ri said, "The director once said that after watching 'Love and Ambition' from 2006, he decided to cast me," adding, "Since the director said that, I accepted the role without even asking about it."
She continued, "However, except for the director, everyone opposed, asking 'Why is Yeon Min-jung appearing here?' Both Lee Bong-geun and I were opposed. But the director persuaded us for a year, and we ended up appearing," sharing an anecdote about her movie appearance.
