Actor Kang Ki-young spoke about the epithet "Yoo Jae-suk of the advertising world."

On the 4th, a video titled "Compose a one-hour episode with stories being revealed to the world for the first time" was released on the YouTube channel 'Fairy Jae-hyung.' The featured video included lead actors from the film "Resurrection Man," Koo Kyo-hwan, Shin Seung-ho, and Kang Ki-young, as guests.

On this day, Lee Ki-young said regarding the epithet "Yoo Jae-suk of the advertising world," "Actually, Lee Kwang-soo came first. (Lee Kwang-soo) was a superstar, but he entered the media space quickly."

He continued, "I don't know if I should be saying this myself, but my competitive advantage was that 'he seems perfectly normal, yet he's funny.' Even when they had me do public service announcements, I did those, and if they brought something else funny, I did the funny stuff too. So advertisers liked me, and it sold a lot."

He then added, "Anyway, freshness is the weapon in advertising, so as an ordinary person, I was getting exposed way too much. They would say, 'Find someone like Kang Ki-young.' Now, I have become a setting sun. The modeling fees I used to receive well as an ordinary model eventually became quite poor again, and when it seemed like things weren't going to work out, I thought, 'I should go into dramas,' and 'I should move to a bigger market,'" eliciting laughter.
