Comedian Lee Yoon-seok aired his grievances against Kang Ho-dong on the latest episode of JTBC's 'Knowing Bros'.
The episode, which aired on the 6th, featured a special segment titled 'Skinny VS. Gaining Weight' with comedian Lee Yoon-seok, singer Dawn, actor Lee Ho-cheol, and comedian Kim Kyu-won.
During the show, Lee Yoon-seok expressed his disappointment towards Kang Ho-dong. The two have worked together on various programs, including 'Yashimmanman'. Lee recalled, "We once had a gathering after a program or an awards ceremony, and the bill was quite high."
At that time, Lee Yoon-seok was newly married, and Kang Ho-dong suggested, "I didn't give you a wedding gift, and it's awkward to exchange cash. Instead, let's say you covered today's gathering as my gift."
Lee Yoon-seok emphasized, "I had no intention of paying. It wasn't my program or my award day. I had no reason to pay." Kang Ho-dong appeared flustered, admitting, "I didn't think of that."
Seo Jang-hoon chimed in, "You should have just given the wedding gift," to which Kang Ho-dong replied, "I probably gave it secretly." However, Lee Yoon-seok countered, "I recorded everything on my computer. Kang's name would be first, but there was no gift." He added, "We agreed on that, but Ho-dong's manager said, 'Ho-dong treated everyone today.'"
Kang Ho-dong expressed regret, saying, "I had a big argument with that manager back then." Lee Yoon-seok lamented, "I neither received nor didn't receive the gift. I neither paid nor didn't pay for the meal. Only I know what happened."
Kang Ho-dong awkwardly remarked, "Yoon-seok said he paid half." He continued, "It's been so long, but you remember it vividly. If you were upset for 20 years, you should have mentioned it in private. Why save it for the show?"
Lee Yoon-seok joked, "I even wrote it in my diary. I saved it for the broadcast because I don't have many stories like this."
He added, "I'm waiting for two things: one is when CP Yeo Woon-hyuk said he'd bring me back if the ratings recover after I left 'Infinite Challenge', and the other is doing a 'Skinny and Fat' segment with Kang Ho-dong."
