Kwanghee Shines as Variety Show Star on MBC's 'Good Day'

Kwanghee has proven his worth as a variety show star on MBC's 'Good Day,' despite not being a regular cast member. His wit and charm have been evident throughout his 16-year career in entertainment.

'Good Day' marks the return of PD Kim Tae-ho to MBC, with G-Dragon participating as a producer. The show aims to create music that captures the essence of the year with notable figures. While only three episodes have aired, the focus has been on the chemistry between the cast and guests, with Kwanghee standing out. Initially introduced as someone to showcase G-Dragon's connections, Kwanghee's charisma and humor have made him a central figure.

The regular cast includes G-Dragon, Jung Hyung-don, Defconn, Jo Se-ho, and Code Kunst. The show also features the '88 Line,' stars born in 1988, including Kim Soo-hyun, Im Si-wan, Jung Hae-in, Lee Soo-hyuk, and Kwanghee. Among these actors, Kwanghee stands out as the sole variety show personality, becoming a pivotal member of the '88 Line.'

While the actors have focused on their film and TV careers, Kwanghee has thrived in various variety shows, naturally taking on the role of the mood maker. Before the show began, there was anticipation that Kwanghee would ease the initial awkwardness among the '88 Line' members. Despite feeling the pressure, Kwanghee's sociability helped him become the lubricant for the group.

Known for his vibrant and friendly image, Kwanghee is actually quite shy and reserved. On 'Good Day,' he appeared nervous around top stars he hadn't seen in a while, but his quick wit and humor helped lighten the atmosphere.

Kwanghee's appearance on 'Good Day' marks his return to terrestrial variety shows. He mentioned on the show that people often ask why he hasn't been on TV lately, explaining that he's been involved in environmental programs and NGO activities, contributing positively to society by appearing in less-publicized areas.

Since his debut, Kwanghee has built a unique character with his candidness about plastic surgery and straightforward humor. He has established his own niche, with his authenticity and dedication earning him long-lasting public affection.

As 'Good Day' continues to capture public attention through Kwanghee, it remains to be seen if the show will also succeed as a music project.
