On the September 13 broadcast of SBS's "My Little Old Boy," actor Joo Sang Wook appeared as a special MC.

During the broadcast, Joo talked about his villain role in the drama "Agent Kim Reactivated," saying, "It was my first time playing a full-fledged, out-and-out villain. There was a sense of catharsis. It was so much fun. Since he was in the highest position with immense power and everything went his way just by speaking, it was incredibly fun."

He continued, "Filming was also really enjoyable. Until I got hit," drawing laughter. Joo also caught attention by revealing that he was heavily cussed at when he visited a fish market while the drama was airing.

Sharing his experience, Joo said, "Viewers who were deeply immersed in the drama while it was airing would say, 'I'm watching the drama well, but you shouldn't be like that,' and 'You're still too evil,'" bringing more laughter.
