Actor Lee Won-jong was judged to be unfit for the nomination for the head of the Korea Creative Content Agency.

On the 11th, an official from the Korea Creative Content Agency (Konjinwon) told Star News, "All candidates, including actor Lee Won-jong, were judged to be ineligible in the contest."

He then declined to comment on the specific reason for the ineligibility, saying, "We do not know the details because we are not evaluating it." According to Conjinwon, a new candidate for the director will be held later. No specific schedule has been set.

Earlier, the final candidates, including Lee Won-jong, were screened, including broadcasters and production company officials, but all were reportedly eliminated.

Conjinwon is an organization that provides more than 600 billion won annually to the entire Korean content industry, including broadcasting, games, music, fashion, animation, characters, and cartoons. As of 2024, the director's annual salary is reported to be over 200 million won including performance bonuses. The term of office is three years.

Meanwhile, Lee Won-jong made his theatrical debut in 1992 and played in numerous works such as the films "Let's Play Dalma," "Silla's Moon Night," "The Wild Age," and "Tran's War."

He is especially famous for his enthusiastic support of President Lee Jae-myung. During the last presidential campaign, he made headlines by saying, "I'm blue inside now, and I'm Lee Jae-myung inside."
