"A profile shot once in 10 years" Lee Guk-joo's delightful transformation

Comedian Lee Guk-joo has unveiled new profile photos after a long wait of 10 years. On the 6th, Lee Guk-joo posted several photos on her SNS with the caption, "I took profile pictures for the first time in 10 years." In the released images, Lee Guk-joo showcased diverse styling, such as matching a pink knit with a short leather skirt or wearing a yellow-toned jacket with a sky-blue blouse. Her lovely charm shone through as she smiled with her long wavy hair flowing down.

Lee Guk-joo also shared her honest feelings about the shoot. She wittily remarked, "I took new ones at my new agency. It wasn't easy trying to act normal after such a long time, but they styled me well, took great photos, and edited them so much that I think I can use these for another 10 years." In particular, she drew laughter from fans by adding, "My right side is worse, so it's funny that all the photos are of my left side." Fans responded with support, saying, "Summer cool tone suits you perfectly" and "Your charm is overflowing."

New member of Anic ENT, joining 'Ox-year friends' Choi Jin-hyuk and Yoon Hyun-min

This profile reveal comes at a point marking one year since Lee Guk-joo joined the agency Anic ENT. By appearing on the agency's artist list, she has formalized her journey alongside actors. Lee Guk-joo shared a screenshot of the agency profile, which includes actors such as Yoon Hyun-min and Lee Jung-eun, on her Instagram Story, adding the caption, "How about one comedian among the actors? Do I stand out?"

A notable point is her special bond with existing agency members, actors Choi Jin-hyuk and Yoon Hyun-min. Lee Guk-joo shared the news of joining the agency, saying, "When we filmed 'My Little Old Boy' last year, the three of us were from different agencies, but in just one year, we all ended up in the same one." The three built their relationship through the SBS variety show 'My Little Old Boy' and are 'Ox-year friends' due to their early birthdays in 1986. In particular, she served as the host for Choi Jin-hyuk's fan meeting held in 2024, and earlier this year, Choi Jin-hyuk and Yoon Hyun-min even visited Lee Guk-joo's studio apartment in Japan, showcasing their close friendship. Lee Guk-joo gave a friendly greeting, saying, "Jin-hyuk sunbae, Hyun-min hoobae, let's not fight and get along well."

Active endeavors continuing even during life in Japan

Having debuted as a comedian through the MBC 15th open recruitment in 2006, Lee Guk-joo is currently active, moving between Korea and Japan. Recently, she has been communicating with fans by steadily sharing updates about her life living alone in Japan through her channel. Anic ENT, which Lee Guk-joo is a part of, is the agency for actors Lee Jung-eun, Choi Jin-hyuk, Yoon Hyun-min, Park Ji-yeon, and others, and Lee Guk-joo plans to expand her field of activity alongside these actors.

Connection with actors, from 'My Little Old Boy' to agency family

Lee Guk-joo and actors Choi Jin-hyuk and Yoon Hyun-min formed a connection while appearing together on the SBS variety show 'My Little Old Boy.' Grouped as 'Ox-year friends' due to their early birthdays in 1986, Choi Jin-hyuk has appeared on Lee Guk-joo's personal channel and also hosted her 2024 fan meeting. Earlier this year, the two actors personally visited Lee Guk-joo's apartment in Japan.

"How about one comedian among the actors?"

Lee Guk-joo shared her witty thoughts while announcing her meeting with her agency family. She shared the profile photos of the agency where actors Yoon Hyun-min and Lee Jung-eun are signed on her Instagram Story, asking, "How about one comedian among the actors? Do I stand out?"

She also did not forget to send a message to her colleagues who joined the agency together. Lee Guk-joo stated, "When we filmed 'My Little Old Boy' last year, the three of us were from different agencies, but in just one year, we all ended up in the same one," and added, "Jin-hyuk sunbae, Hyun-min hoobae, let's not fight and get along well."

Agency family completed in one year

Lee Guk-joo signed an exclusive contract with Anic ENT, which includes actors Lee Jung-eun and Choi Jin-hyuk, last October. She released these profile photos one year after joining the agency.

While they belonged to different agencies during their appearance on SBS 'My Little Old Boy' last year, they have all gathered in the same place within a year.
