Lee Kwang-soo talked about his identity crisis after his popularity in “Running Man”: “Am I an entertainer or an actor?”

Jo In-sung was proud of Lee Kwang-soo, who built his own area.

On tvN’s “Boss By Chance 2”, which aired on March 3, Lee Kwang-soo revealed his efforts to find his identity between an entertainer and an actor.

While eating together after the first day of business, Lim Joo-hwan decided to make fried shrimp at the second day of business. When Lee Kwang-soo asked, “Can’t you fry squid?” Lim Joo-hwan replied, “But we need to have squid then.” At that time, Jo In-sung joked, pointing at Lee Kwang-soo’s face, saying, “But we have a squid.”

Cha Tae-hyun said, “He’s a fish. Wasn’t Kwang-soo’s head a fish?” mentioned the movie “Collective Invention” in which Lee Kwang-soo played a human being who turned into a fish. Lee Kwangsoo said, “But the expression of my head is a bit… Please just say that my upper body is a fish,” he said.

Lee Kwang-soo said that his fish acting at the time was not CG, but real acting while wearing a mask, saying, “I couldn’t breathe. I had to put on an oxygen hose and acted. Because light shouldn’t go in,” he said.

Jo In-sung said, “He does a lot of difficult acting. In the past, when we drank together, Kwang-soo also had a concern. For example, identity. Rather than Kwang-soo having his self-doubt about his identity, people kept trying to distinguish him from the outside, asking, “Are you an entertainer or an actor?”

“He made a lot of effort to overcome it. In the end, Kwang-soo is a hybrid. I’m not evaluating him or anything because I don’t have the position to do that, but Kwang-soo has built his own character as he looked at traces of such worries,” Jo praised. As a result, all the cast members stood up and cheered for Lee Kwang-soo with a standing ovation, and Lee Kwang-soo slyly posed for the awards ceremony and made people laugh.

Cha Tae-hyun was pleased as his older colleague, saying, “It’s good that Kwang-soo does a lot of movies and dramas.”
