Comedian Lee Gyeong-gyu challenged her first underwater pictorial.
Lee Kyung-gyu took a photo shoot as the cover model for the February issue of men’s magazine MAXIM. This photo shoot was done underwater with the concept of’God of the Sea’ in line with Lee Gyeong-gyu, who was nicknamed’Son of the Dragon King’ in’City Fisherman’.
On the 6th, after a cold wave, Lee Gyeong-gyu entered a 5m deep underwater tank at Popplaza Studio, an underwater shooting location in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do. Maxim explained, “We prepared underwater shooting to create a mysterious feeling. A gown reminiscent of Poseidon, a golden laurel wreath, and a special custom-made large gold trident were also prepared as props.”
After pre-dive training for underwater photography, Lee Gyeong-gyu went down 5 meters underwater with a team of underwater photography professional Soo-dam studio writers and finished the solo shoot safely. Afterwards, PD Mormot (Kwon Hae-bom), who is filming Kakao TV’s’Chin Kyung-gyu’, dressed as a mermaid and directed a comic chemistry with Lee Kyung-gyu in the water. All filming was conducted in compliance with the COVID-19 quarantine rules, but the on-site staff who watched the filming admired Lee Gyeong-gyu, who was doing underwater filming that even young people could not do, saying, “It is like a professional with 40 years of experience.”
In an interview with Maxim, Lee Gyeong-gyu also pinpointed his thoughts on broadcasting and work, and the recent trend of broadcasting that does not have his own creativity (originality). In particular, he said, “Looking at the Trot Singer Song Festival these days, I have a lot of worries. Because I am not singing my own songs. Why not do the Creative Song Festival? That is a little disappointing.”
When asked about the recent broadcast trend where communication became important, comedian Lee Gyeong-gyu with 40 years of experience said that unconditional communication is not the answer. “What do I do is people follow the trend, I communicate with them and meet them It is difficult to produce a good work if you give it to me. The answer is that people like what I did because I wanted to do it.” At the same time, he said, “No matter how much I communicate, I hate people I hate.”
When asked, “What’s the difference between an erotic movie and pornography?” to Lee Kyung-gyu, who has produced the movies’Masked Moon’,’National Song Contest’, and’Revenge Blood Battles’, he replied, “There is love in erotic, not in porn.” He added, “I hate melodies or pornography. I like erotic (movies).”
Lee Gyeong-gyu said, “When the corona is quiet this year, we plan to start making a full-fledged movie,” and predicted that he will challenge for his dream in 2021.
When asked if there was any advice he would like to give to Lee Gyeong-gyu, 20, Lee Gyeong-gyu said, “Kyung-gyu, don’t do something different. I can’t eat it because it’s dirty. Rather, do business. I’m tired all my life.”
