Singer Lee Chan-won left a deep impression by naturally demonstrating both his profound humanity—knowing how to wholeheartedly celebrate others' achievements—and his fierce passion for his craft on a broadcast.

On the episode of KBS 2TV's 'New Product Launch Pyunstorang' aired on the 13th, Lee Chan-won personally prepared a party to support his close friend Hwang Yoon-sung, who had completed a long audition journey. He showed enthusiasm by visiting a chef in advance to learn the menu, and went to great lengths for his friend, personally contacting acquaintances from all walks of life to arrange the gathering.

Responding to Lee Chan-won's sincerity, 11 friends—including Lee Jin-hyuk, Yoo Hee-kwan, Im Han-byeol, Lee Dae-hwan, Lee Chang-min, Kim Ji-hoon, Nam Hyun-jong, Eom Ji-in, Choi Su-ho, Jin Sung, and JeA—gladly gathered even on same-day notice and brightened the occasion. Lee Chan-won personally cooked sesame leaf bomb soondae hot pot, dried pollack hangover soup, and stir-fried pork with scallions, laying out a generous spread.

He also surprised everyone by inviting Hwang Yoon-sung's parents for his friend, who had been unable to spend time with family due to a busy schedule, adding great warmth to the scene with his thoughtful consideration.

The depth of the two friends' long-standing, genuine friendship was also brought back into the spotlight. It was revealed that Lee Chan-won had stayed up late checking his friend's results and cheering him on during past competitions, and his pride in his friend's growth—as if it were his own—while giving all the credit to his friend warmed the hearts of viewers.

Lee Chan-won's expertise also shined in the cooking competition. His 'sesame leaf bomb soondae hot pot,' harmonizing the aroma of perilla leaves with meat soondae and young cabbage, earned high praise from the judges, achieving his double-digit overall victory on the program. His sincerity in dealing with people, combined with his diligence in doing his best in any given field, once again proved his solid capabilities as an all-around entertainer.

Meanwhile, Lee Chan-won is currently ranked third in the August Netizens' Awards broadcasting grand prize category. As of 6:24 p.m. on the 20th, he had recorded 1,209 votes, and the only stars to join the 1000 Club in the broadcasting grand prize category are Lee Chan-won, Son Tae-jin, and Yoo Jae-suk. Attention is focused on whether Lee Chan-won, who is actively appearing on broadcasts, will also prove his worth in the broadcasting grand prize category.
