'Discharged Person' is a full-fledged wandering program that visits various stations located in downtown areas, which are considered meeting places, and explores the charms of the surrounding areas. OOTV, a production company that is gaining popularity among the MZ generation with its fresh materials and differentiated plans, is releasing its first content for the new year of 2024. It is planned and produced by OOTV PD Ko Dong-wan's production team, the original production team behind the hit web entertainment shows 'Walkman' and 'Nego King'. We plan to visit all the stations in the world, including subway stations and train stations, and explore various information and stories by going inside and outside the stations. We plan to meet citizens and introduce so-called ‘local recommended’ hot places to provide useful information, sympathy, and fun. .

In 'Discharged Person', which will be released for the first time on the YouTube channel OOTB STUDIO at 6 pm on the 9th, Lee Yi-kyung is expected to be active in all directions, predicting that it will become a long-running program from the first episode. Lee Yi-kyung, who appeared 'fully charged' with both passion and entertainment as a solo MC, showed 'founded confidence' while talking with the production crew during the opening filming, saying, "Our show will break the existing record of a long-running program." It stimulates curiosity as to what the source of his confidence is.

In the first filming, which took place at Seoul Station, the foundation of Korea's railroad system, Lee Yi-kyung thoroughly inspects the inside and outside of the station, which seemed familiar, and grasps new information that she had not previously known. In particular, what surprised him the most was the lost and found center, where more than 200 items come in every day. Lee Yi-kyung, who could not keep her mouth shut at the shocking testimony of the person in charge that “5 million won in cash was once reported as lost property,” said, “There are a lot of people who have lost their minds. Please come to your senses,” and caused laughter with a “poignant word of thanks” from the beginning of the New Year. . In addition, Lee Yi-kyung is expected to conduct interviews with Seoul Station employees, discover useful riding information for citizens and travelers, and share various useful tips.

It is said that Lee Yi-kyung showed great immersion in the 'military veteran' concept throughout the filming, causing laughter and satisfaction over and over again. He caught people's attention by appearing on a subway crowded with citizens, and raised the tension even further with an unusual 'report of discharge', saying, "I have been ordered to be discharged!" In addition, they not only collect vivid 'real information' by asking Seoul Station employees about nearby restaurants, but also communicate freely with citizens and even perform impromptu situation plays. In addition, he is expected to have fun by visiting 'hot spots' around Seoul Station and even securing direct photo shoots, enjoying the life of a 'military veteran' 100%.

The production team said, “Lee Yi-kyung is well-known for her extraordinary friendliness, so even in the first recording, she approached the citizens in a friendly way and performed tiki-taka, and even went so far as to recruit people to introduce restaurants recommended by citizens, and did a great job.” They added, “Lee Yi-kyung will be introduced in the future.” “Please look forward to a wealth of information and pleasant fun, including the various stations across the country, the ‘hot map’ that will be created by running around, and the laugh-out-loud talks with citizens,” he said.
