PD Na Young Seok’s shoutout to the ‘Laughing Spoon’ Kim Soo Hyun has fans all excited.

On the 7th, PD Na Young Seok spilled the beans about his experience at the ‘60th Baeksang Arts Awards’ with YouTuber Calm Man (writer Lee Mal-nyeon) during a live broadcast.

That day, PD Na Young Seok bagged the Male Variety Award, beating out Gian84, Yoo Jae-suk, Tak Jae-hoon, and Calm Man. Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun, who’s been winning hearts with his role in the tvN drama ‘Queen of Tears’, snagged the Male Popularity Award, voted for by fans.

PD Na Young Seok, who was seated next to Kim Soo Hyun, answered fans’ questions during the live broadcast with Calm Man, saying, “Kim Soo Hyun was super friendly.” When asked about his first impression of Kim Soo Hyun , PD Na said, “He was incredibly handsome. He had this boyish charm, not the typical ‘aura’ that actors talk about, but a kind and playful vibe that made him really approachable,” revealing Kim Soo Hyun’s unique charm.

Calm Man, who agreed that “He had great manners,” PD Na Young Seok expressed his desire to work with Kim Soo Hyun on a variety show, saying, “I found myself thinking ‘Do you want to do a variety show with me?’ But since it was our first meeting, I didn’t actually say it,” which led to an explosive reaction from fans.

Calm Man expressed regret, saying, “You should try casting him,” and PD Na Young Seok said, “I couldn’t cast him. Kim Soo Hyun did a variety show when he was bowling. He was fresh, boyish, and natural. He wasn’t flashy. I thought he would do really well even in reality shows,” praising Kim Soo Hyun ’s variety talent and raising expectations.

PD Na hinted at a possible collaboration, saying, “Is it a casting on the line?” to the words “It’s anytime. It would be great to do it together,” grabbing attention.

As PD Na Young Seok’s mention of Kim Soo Hyun became a hot topic, netizens are showing an explosive reaction and rooting for the two to team up.

Especially, Kim Soo Hyun , known as the ‘Laughing Spoon’ among fans for his humorous sense, is raising more expectations.

Even at the Baeksang Arts Awards, Kim Soo Hyun had everyone laughing by showing the expression of ‘Queen of Tears’ Baek Hyun-woo, who exuded ‘Bingu beauty’ by acting drunk at the host’s aegyo request.

Fans reacted saying, “It’s so funny that he went to the bathroom during his interview timing at the Baeksang Arts Awards”, and “The sense of reenacting the scene in ‘Queen of Tears’ when asked for aegyo was crazy.”

In addition, it was revealed that the part where Kim Soo Hyun reassured his family by saying “It’s not like that to me” while filming his wife Hong Hae-in (Kim Ji Won) scolding and hitting her younger brother Hong Soo-chan (Kwak Dong Yeon) during ‘Queen of Tears’ was ad-lib, and his sense became a hot topic.

Expectations are growing among fans’ hot reactions as to whether PD Na Young Seok, who has shown chemistry with various actors such as Yoon Yeo-jung, Lee Soon-jae, Cha Seung-won, Yoo Hae-jin, Park Seo-jin, Jung Yu-mi, Choi Woo-shik, and made popular variety shows, will team up with a new actor, and whether that actor will really be Kim Soo Hyun .

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
