Actor Lee Sang-yun's intellectual battle and intense challenge are showcased as he takes the stage in the play 'The Turing Machine,' which delves into the life of the genius mathematician Alan Turing, on the show 'Omniscient Interfering View.'

In the 384th episode of MBC's variety show 'Omniscient Interfering View,' airing today (7th), Lee Sang-yun, a Seoul National University physics graduate known for his intellectual and smart image, demonstrates his prowess as a 'brainy man' through a new project. He stars in the two-person play 'The Turing Machine,' which explores the life of the genius mathematician Alan Turing. Despite the overwhelming amount of dialogue and the challenge of mastering complex mathematical terms, Lee Sang-yun's intellectual struggle is expected to leave a lasting impression on viewers.

A special after-party following the performance will also be revealed. This gathering includes veteran actor Park Geun-hyung, who previously worked with Lee in the play 'Waiting for Godot,' along with Choi Min-ho, Kim Byung-chul, Kim Ga-young, and Shin Hye-ok, showcasing their strong camaraderie. In a warm and friendly atmosphere, even the highly intelligent Lee Sang-yun finds himself sweating under Park Geun-hyung's 'spicy scolding,' bringing laughter to the scene.

However, it becomes clear that this scolding is actually a sign of the master's deep affection for his student actor. The story unfolds further as it is revealed that Lee Sang-yun, born in 1981, once made a video call to his mentor Park Geun-hyung, born in 1940, at 2 a.m., highlighting their enviable 'theatrical mentor-student' bromance. Additionally, Kim Byung-chul, known to be single in his 50s, shares his secret to maintaining a consistent weight from his 20s to his 50s, capturing both emotion and humor in this heartwarming after-party scene.

Lee Sang-yun's passionate dedication and his strong mentor-student chemistry with veteran actor Park Geun-hyung can be witnessed on 'Omniscient Interfering View' tonight (7th) at 11:10 PM.
