There is a producer who has caught people’s attention with his ‘familiar press conference look’.That person is KBS PD Lee Chang-soo.
At the production presentation introducing the new entertainment program, PD Lee caught everyone’s attention by recreating the so-called ‘Min Hee-jin look’ that heated up society last spring.

On the 10th, the PD appeared at the production press conference for the new 2TV entertainment show ‘Crazy Rich Korean’ held at KBS Annex in Yeouido wearing a ‘blue baseball cap and green striped top’.This outfit was the press conference outfit worn by former Adore CEO Min Hee-jin last year, and it became a hot topic of conversation, even causing a sellout situation.

This PD’s ‘Min Hee-jin cosplay’ was largely intentional.He explained that he planned the newly introduced ‘Crazy Rich Korean’ after “seeing CEO Min Hee-jin’s press conference” and that he was “inspired by the madness, immersion, and passion she showed at the press conference.I think that if Koreans want to succeed on the world stage, they have to be crazy about(work).”

Previously, he had produced an entertainment program called ‘The CEO’s Ears Are Donkey Ears ‘, which was inspired by the news about Cho Hyun-ah, the CEO of Hanjin Travel, who was criticized for the so-called’ peanut rage ‘incident.
‘ Crazy Rich Korean ‘is a human reality entertainment show that highlights Koreans around the world who have achieved success in their respective fields.It is not a simple success story, but the core of the show is the story of those who have been recognized on the international stage through extreme immersion and passion.

Regarding this PD’s unusual work attitude revealed through Min Hee-jin’s look, Jeon Hyun-moo, who is in charge of hosting ‘Crazy Rich Korean’, also gave him a thumbs up, saying, “He is truly a producer crazy about work.”

Meanwhile, PD Lee, who successfully resurrected Min Hee-jin’s look and created a buzz, has also been talked about in various communities about his past history.PD Lee Chang-soo appeared as a regular guest on ‘Match’, the first dating reality show, commonly referred to as a ‘couple show’, and gained attention by rising to stardom.
