Actors Ji Jin-hee and Lee Kyu-hyung, who have been loved for their solid and soft images on TV, are making a hot transformation into ‘leading comedy actors. The title of the new drama they are releasing on the 5th with the solemn determination of “Let‘s go as far as we can go’ is ‘Kik Kik Kik’.

The two will be played by Ji Jin-hee, an actor with 10 million viewers, and PD Jo Young-sik, who was once a star director, respectively, in KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Kik Kik Kik’, which will be aired for the first time at 9:50 PM on that day. In the drama, Ji Jin-hee, who was scammed and completely ruined, establishes a content production company called ‘Kik Kik Kik’, and struggles with Lee Kyu-hyung to solve the investor mission of securing 3 million subscribers by any means possible.

In ‘Kik Kik Kik’, which was produced in a sitcom format, Ji Jin-hee, who used his real name, freely shows off his “desire to make people laugh” that he has been suppressing for a long time. At an online production conference held on the morning of the first broadcast, he smiled happily as he said, “I always say I want to try a sitcom in every interview. It‘s a genre that I enjoy watching, so I really wanted to try it at least once.”

His comedic transformation is so unconventional that his partner Lee Kyu-hyung confidently says, “It’s beyond anything you can imagine”. There is even a scene where he and Lee Kyu-hyung bicker and then kiss passionately(?). He rose to fame as the “funniest mood maker” among his juniors, Lee Min-jae, Jeon Hye-yeon, and Kim Eun-ho, who appeared as the ‘Kikki Kikki’ staff members, by making them laugh with his absurd ad-libs.

Lee Kyu-hyung is no slouch either. He exudes a ‘sad charm’ as he bounces around between Ji Jin-hee, who has a love-hate relationship with him, and his fresh-faced juniors who are unpredictable.

He is actually busy making his colleagues laugh with his playful speech. At the production conference, he joked with Ji Jin-hee, saying, “The kiss scene was so uncomfortable, but I‘m starting to feel affectionate towards it”, and while boasting about their good teamwork, he suddenly said to his juniors, “Everyone... “Was it fun?” he asked cautiously, leading the comical atmosphere throughout.

The ultimate goal of these people, who have already established a solid ‘worldview’ by realistically reflecting the trend of digital content, is “season system”. Ji Jin-hee said to the viewers, “We’ll watch it later anyway. So please watch it in advance”, and expressed his bold ambition, “We‘ll keep running until seasons 4 and 5”.
