Disney+ original variety show 'Destiny War 49' has come under scrutiny due to various controversies, while public interest in participant shaman Lee So-bin has exploded.
Recently, Lee So-bin expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love and attention through his official social media, stating "Currently, all reservations are fully booked until 2029". He decided to close the reservation window for the time being, believing it would be too much for both clients and himself, and added that he would announce any reopening news via social media.
The background of Lee So-bin's explosive popularity is largely attributed to the resurfacing of his prophecy made during his past appearance on SBS's 'Stocking' regarding singer MC Mong. At that time, 9-year-old Lee So-bin showed a firm attitude, saying to MC Mong, "You need to ask for forgiveness a lot."
When asked, "Who do you need to ask for forgiveness?" Lee So-bin replied, "I have done many wrongs to my family, especially my mom." When MC Mong tried to brush it off by saying, "I fought with my mother today, but I didn't commit a deadly sin, did I?" Lee So-bin repeatedly emphasized, "You committed a deadly sin", freezing the scene.
Afterward, as MC Mong completely halted his broadcasting activities due to controversies over military service evasion, netizens have been pouring in comments that Lee So-bin's prophecy was spot on.
Meanwhile, 'Destiny War 49', where Lee So-bin is active, is a survival program where 49 fortune tellers carry out missions, but it is currently facing serious controversy over disrespecting the deceased.
The program has faced fierce criticism for using the sacrifice of the late firefighter Kim Cheol-hong, who died in a fire in Hongje-dong, as comedic mystery material, and for lightly handling the circumstances surrounding the death of the late police officer Lee Jae-hyun, with cast members using inappropriate slang such as 'knife attack'.
