Known as the "Prince of Asia" for his comedic antics on variety shows, South Korean actor Lee Kwang-soo (이광수) is also highly active in interacting with his fans. He recently joined the fan communication platform Bubble, and his message frequency has become so high that even his celebrity colleagues find it overwhelming. Actor Shin Seung-ho (신승호) recently revealed on a show that he logged onto the platform to chat with his fans but was constantly receiving notifications from Lee Kwang-soo, even considering turning off the alerts. His hilarious experience left the studio in stitches.
The latest episode preview for the SBS variety show Whenever Possible, released on the 20th, featured Yoo Jae-suk (유재석) and Yoo Yeon-seok (유연석) as hosts, with actors Shin Seung-ho and Chae Soo-bin (채수빈) as guests. During the show, the cast discussed Lee Kwang-soo, who has been a hot topic recently due to his activity on fan communication platforms, unexpectedly revealing another side of his private interactions with fans.
Yoo Jae-suk pointed out that a single lunch meal out now costs between 10,000 and 12,000 Korean won. In comparison, Lee Kwang-soo's monthly Bubble subscription fee is a very affordable 5,000 Korean won.
Hearing this, Shin Seung-ho couldn't help but share his own experience. He revealed that he logged into Bubble intending to interact with his fans, but was constantly receiving message notifications from Lee Kwang-soo, leaving him feeling helpless.
Even more comically, Shin Seung-ho stated that he even tried to stop the notifications by selecting options like "Do not show for one week" and "Do not show again." However, Lee Kwang-soo's message alerts continued to pop up, leaving him exasperated. He had originally opened the platform to communicate with fans, but ended up almost wanting to turn off all notifications because of Lee Kwang-soo's messages. This amusing anecdote sent the studio into fits of laughter.
It's not just Shin Seung-ho who has been "flooded" by Lee Kwang-soo's enthusiasm; Yoo Jae-suk also couldn't resist teasing his friend on the show. Yoo Jae-suk revealed that he had heard about Lee Kwang-soo starting a fan communication platform, but jokingly remarked, "I heard Kwang-soo is doing that communication platform, but I can't spend 5,000 won on Kwang-soo every month." His words highlighted their long-standing close friendship and kept the laughter going in the studio.
In fact, Lee Kwang-soo's Bubble is now not only attracting fan subscriptions but also the attention of his entertainment industry peers. Members like Liz (리즈) from IVE, Haneul (하늘) from KISS OF LIFE, and Woni (워니) from RESCENE have actually subscribed. Furthermore, Lee Kwang-soo's close friend Kim Woo-bin (김우빈), as well as IVE's Rei (레이), RESCENE's Liv (리브), tripleS's Seoyeon (서연), and izna's Sepe (세피), have publicly expressed interest in joining his Bubble. From fans to fellow artists, everyone is curious about his messages, making Lee Kwang-soo's unique popularity a trending topic once again.
