Last year, Kim Hye-soo wrapped up her 30-year relationship with Cheongryong, and the topic that attracted public attention was who would take over the microphone. It goes without saying that many actors have also shown their willingness to select MCs.

Han Ji-min even turned to Kim Hye-soo, then the goddess of blue dragon "Kim Hye-soo, who always sets a good example for me. Thank you for always giving me a lot of support" also mentioned his relationship with Kim Hye-soo. It is said that the friendship and loyalty of the two actresses, who are known as close friends, have continued to this day and created a connection between Cheongryong.

Lee Je-hoon made his debut through the 2006 film Truth, Litmus, and won the trophy by winning the New Actor Award at the 32nd Blue Dragon Film Awards through Watchman, a film that made a new history in the Korean independent film industry. Lee Je-hoon, who was called a monster rookie in Chungmuro at the time, appeared like a comet" was praised, and he later became a representative actor of Korean cinema by proving the value of the award himself. Not only has he established himself as an actor who convinces the audience with 'Architectural Introduction'Park Yeol', 'I Can Speak', and 'Departure', but he has also shown good influence by continuing efforts to develop the Korean film industry.

Actor Lee Je-hoon, who is appropriate for the title of 'Movie Man', is currently contributing to the development of movies by running a YouTube channel 'Je-hoon' that introduces old and small movie theaters nationwide. The industry is also applauding Lee's attempt to highlight small movie theaters that are disappearing amid the paradigm of the multiplex system. The public is gradually responding to Lee Je-hoon's sincerity, which is showing such content only with pure love for movies.
