Actor Lee Hee-jun revealed his extraordinary desire to be funny.

In the episode of KBS 2TV's variety program 'Ok-tapbang-ui Munje-a-deul' aired on the 17th, Lee Hee-jun, a veteran actor with 27 years of friendship from Hanlim Arts University, and Jin Seon-kyu appeared together, showcasing their close chemistry.

On that day, Lee Hee-jun stated that he is feeling the surge in popularity after taking on an anger-inducing villain role in the ENA drama 'Scarecrow'. He said, "When I go to restaurants or gyms, people tell me they didn't know I acted so well. They even worry about whether it's okay for me to play such a bad role."

He confessed that he prefers being praised as funny rather than for his acting, saying, "I want to be funny. I watch 'Gag Concert' and try to imitate it the next day," leaving viewers surprised. He continued, "Hyung Jin Seon-kyu is really funny. When he makes the members of our theater group laugh, I'm the only one who doesn't laugh. I keep thinking about how I can be funnier next time," showing his sincere dedication to comedy.

In response, Jin Seon-kyu praised him, saying, "You're too funny. The fact that you pursue self-improvement just to be even funnier is amazing."

Meanwhile, Lee Hee-jun named Yang Se-chan as his favorite comedian and imitated one of Yang's gags, performing seal clapping that drew loud laughter from everyone.
