Actor Lee Kwang Soo has fully immersed himself in a fan communication platform. His real-time conversations with fans are heating up online, and now word has spread to fellow celebrities like Kim Woo Bin and IVE‘s Rei, leading to an unexpected “fandom unification.”
Recently, Lee Kwang-soo started using a fan communication platform and actively engaged with his fans. From the very first day, he was learning unfamiliar features one by one and asking fans for help, quickly drawing attention with his trademark humorous replies.
He soon showed signs of being completely hooked on the platform. He confessed, “Ah, I can’t resist,” “What should I do?” and “I keep turning the app on and off,” revealing how often he checked the platform.
When fans suggested he was addicted, Lee jokingly replied, “But on the other hand, I kind of want to look a little busy. Tie me down,” and “I guess I need to hustle,” making fans laugh.
As conversations continued late into the night, one fan expressed concern saying, “Uncle, please get some sleep.” Lee responded, “Even if I fall asleep, my thumbs will probably keep moving a bit.” To a fan asking to say good night, he answered, “Wait a moment. Please, let’s chat a little longer,” showing he was reluctant to end the chat.
When advised not to be nervous and to keep it natural since it was his first time, he quipped, “That’s the hard part. I feel like the mafia being named in a Mafia game,” drawing another laugh.
Conversations between Lee Kwang Soo and his fans didn’t just stay within his subscribers. His witty replies were shared in real time across social media and online communities, quickly spreading even to those not subscribed, with responses like “The subscription fee is worth it,” and “Because of Lee Kwang Soo, I want to try the platform for the first time.”
Especially as Lee Kwang Soo caught attention across different fandoms — drama fans, idol fans, actors, and more — online, there were comments likening it to a reunion of so-called “Running Man kids” who used to enjoy the show. Related posts attracted over 300,000 views, generating strong interest.
The buzz eventually reached fellow celebrities. Lee Kwang Soo’s close friend Kim Woo Bin showed interest on his own fan communication platform, saying, “Kwang Soo hyung started the platform? Where can I see it? I want to chat too.”
He added, “I heard Kwang Soo hyung is funny? What are we supposed to do if he’s funny on the platform too?” expressing curiosity.
IVE’s Rei also mentioned Lee Kwang Soo, saying, “I want to subscribe to senior Kwang Soo too,” and “I’m seriously thinking about it,” adding, “What I envy most is how funny he is.“
