Comedian Lee Seung-yoon discussed his rerun fee for the MBN entertainment program ″I Am a Natural Person.″ Lee appeared as a guest on the MBN program ″Altoran″ that aired on the 3rd and shared his daily life. His consistent appearances on ″I Am a Natural Person″ have established him as a prominent figure on MBN.
Chef Lee Yeon-bok, a member of ″Altoran,″ asked Lee Seung-yoon, ″Doesn’t ’Natural Person’ rerun a lot?″ Cha Yu-na added, ″I heard the rerun fee is huge.″ Lee Seung-yoon replied, ″That’s because I only appear on the show once a year.″ He then added, ″It’s the price of a mid-size car,″ surprising the cast. Park Sung-kwang asked, ″I heard you bought a house with that money.″ Lee Seung-yoon replied, ″I’ve been doing it for over 10 years. I even bought a house for my parents.″
Park Sung-kwang revealed Lee Seung-yoon’s reaction when he first started ″I Am a Natural Person.″ He said, ″I know. I met him the day after my first shoot. I was working with ’Gag Concert’ at the time. I still remember him. He was on the rooftop, his face dark, and he said, ’I’m in big trouble because I did a crappy program. I got caught on the wrong show.’″ Lee Seung-yoon was shocked by this statement and responded, ″What are you talking about?″
’Altoran’ MC Lee Sang-min explained, ″Back then, ’I Am a Natural Person’ was famous for its difficult filming.″ Lee Seung-yoon confessed, ″Honestly, I said I wouldn’t do it. I told Sung-kwang, ’I won’t be going to ’Natural Person’ starting next week.’ As many of you know, the first episode was really tough.″ He said that he had to eat fish head curry during his first shoot for ’I Am a Natural Person,’ and that his shocked expression is still talked about today.
Lee Seung-yoon recalled, ″At that time, I told Sung-kwang I couldn’t eat it because it felt like a beggar. I wondered what I should do, should I just go home.″ He continued, ″But I was persuaded by the production team during the first episode. They said, ’You ate fish heads in the first episode, so how could something worse come out?’ and said, ’Just go.’ Then, when I went to film the second episode, all they had was roe deer liver.″ He added, ″I really couldn’t do it anymore. That’s why I decided not to do it.″
However, the viewership ratings were different from Lee Seung-yoon’s expectations. He laughed, ″The first episode of Fish Heads aired and had the highest viewership ratings in cable channel history. That’s why I called and said I would do it.″ Lee Seung-yoon is currently in his 14th year on ″I Am a Natural Person.″
