Comedian Lee Sung-mi revealed Shin Dong-yeop's past.

The MBC variety program 'Radio Star,' broadcast on the 8th, aired as a special episode titled "Laughter Creator Crew, Wukukku," during which Lee Sung-mi, known as the 'Godmother of Gag,' appeared and showcased her exceptional foresight.

That day, Lee Sung-mi said, "I was one of the founding members when SBS launched in 1991, and they needed young members. I happened to be invited to a Seoul National University of Arts festival, where someone came out wearing a white tracksuit and holding white balloons, saying 'Annyeonghaseumnida,' and that was Shin Dong-yeop."

She added, "Even at an age under 20, he was incredibly skilled at risqué jokes. He did it without being vulgar," which left the scene in shock.

Continuing, she recalled, "That's when I thought of Dong-yeop. Shin Dong-yeop, Ahn Jae-wook, Lee Hwi-jae, and Song Eun-i gathered at a coffee shop. At that time, Yoo Jae-suk was not the type to stand out, so he wasn't included."

In response, Kim Kuk-jin corrected, "Jae-suk was already active as a KBS comedian," while Kim Gu-ra praised Lee Sung-mi's judgment for having recruited Shin Dong-yeop as a special hire after laying the groundwork.
