Broadcaster Lee Hyuk-jae introduced himself as a "celebrity who did well."

On the 26th, Lee Hyuk-jae participated as a judge in the final screening of the proportional youth audition for the People's Power metropolitan councilors held at the central headquarters in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.

On this day, Lee Hyuk-jae introduced himself as "broadcaster Lee Hyuk-jae" in all his remarks before the start of the screening.

Lee Hyuk-jae said, "Today, I came here with all the voices of concern and anticipation toward me in a humble manner."

"At the same age as the challengers, I was an unimaginably beloved broadcasting entertainer," he said. "But I've also experienced losing the glory I've built up by one mistake at once."

"But what's important is that I didn't shy away from responsibility at any moment. As a people of the rule of law, I have fulfilled my judicial responsibilities and lived by fulfilling my moral responsibilities as a celebrity loved by the public," he added.

In addition, referring to his two sons, Lee Hyuk-jae said, "16 years ago, the two young sons at the time did not resent their father's fault. Sixteen years later, the two sons are healthy young men in their 20s who have completed their military service and live as Korean workers," he said.

Lee Hyuk-jae said, "Anyone can fail. But I don't think anyone can stand up over failure. In addition, I think my beloved country, the Republic of Korea, should be a country of opportunity for young people who make mistakes and fail to stand up again, he said. "I will do my best to do my best today by pouring in all my successes and failures and everything I have accumulated over my past life."

At the same time, Lee Hyuk-jae said, "Criticism toward me will continue in the future. He said, "I will accept it with a humble attitude every time," and added, "But please turn your camera to the journalists and the young people who prepared for today."

Finally, Lee Hyuk-jae said, "Young people. "Mistakes can fail," he said. "But 'Just Do It'. I want you to show everything you can here. I will listen with a humble attitude and support your challenges to the best of my ability," he said, cheering for the young people who participated in the audition.

The People's Power organized a proportional youth audition for metropolitan councilors with the aim of expanding youth participation in politics ahead of the June 3 local elections. According to the list of judges released on the 25th, Lee Hyuk-jae was selected as a judge.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyuk-jae made his debut as a comedian in the 10th MBC open recruitment in 1999 and made his name by playing in popular entertainment programs such as "Sunday Sunday Night" and "Star Golden Bell."

However, in 2010, he got off the show, which had been appearing due to a controversy over the assault of a room salon employee, and later suspended his activities. He tried to return to the company in 2011, but it was again under fire due to controversy over overdue wages and debt problems with agencies and acquaintances that arose during the operation of the performance agency. In addition, it was reported that he was listed as a large delinquent due to tax arrears in 2024.
