Comedian Yun Hyung-bin has launched an open support for senior Lee Hwi-jae despite criticism surrounding his return to the broadcast.

Yoon Hyung-bin said to Star News on the 23rd, "Hwi-jae is a good person, but I think he will be very lonely." Amid mounting criticism over the recent return of his senior, he explained that he was very sorry.

The two are seniors and juniors in the comedy world. Lee Hwi-jae made his debut with MBC's 3rd episode in 1992, and Yoon Hyung-bin made his debut with KBS' 20th episode in 2005. It is known that they have built friendships by naturally connecting with each other through broadcasting.

Yoon Hyung-bin appeared on KBS 2TV entertainment show "Superman is Back" in March 2014 and showed him learning to raise children as a "preliminary father" while taking care of Lee Hwi-jae's twin son Seo-eon.

Yoon Hyung-bin said he couldn't contact his seniors often, but he was close enough to go around with them at one point. Yoon Hyung-bin emphasized Lee Hwi-jae, "He is like a good older brother who is always warm to his seniors and juniors." "It was always like that when I saw him, whether in the waiting room or at an event. I haven't seen anyone around me who doesn't like it either," he added.

Earlier, Yun Hyung-bin also sent an open support for Lee Hwi-jae through SNS. When malicious comments continued on the KBS 2TV entertainment show 'Immortal Songs' Lee Hwi-jae's preview video, he wrapped up Lee Hwi-jae, saying, "I don't know if I know everything, but at least the senior I've always seen is a really good person."

Yoon Hyung-bin also said, "So many people say that, so I wonder if there's anything I don't know," adding, "But the senior I saw in private and on TV was a really good person." Please cheer for me," he said.

Broadcaster Sayuri also welcomed Lee Hwi-jae's return. "I missed you," he said, capturing and posting a preview video of Lee Hwi-jae's appearance on the stage of "Immortal Songs," and supporting, "The brother I know was like a neighborhood brother who was warm and caring, took good care of the cast, and was not arrogant at all."

Sayuri then said, "It hurts whenever I see comments that people who I don't know or meet in person say as if they all know my brother's personality."

Meanwhile, Lee Hwi-jae participated in the recording of "Immortal Songs" on the 16th, which was decorated as a special feature of the "2026 Entertainment Music Awards." It has been about four years since the MC of KBS 2TV entertainment information program 'Yeonjung Live' in April 2022.

Lee Hwi-jae once served as a top MC, but his image was hit by allegations of noise conflicts between neighbors and "eat and run" over his wife Moon Jung-won. The method of progress shown at past entertainment shows and award ceremonies was also on the cutting board. Since then, he has suspended his activities after "Live Throughout the Year," and it was revealed that he left for Canada with his family, raising rumors of retirement.

The trailer for "Immortal Songs" released on the 21st said, "I'm greeting you after a long time. "Nice to meet you. It's Lee Hwi-jae," Lee said, drawing attention after his tears.
