Ahn Bo-hyun Reveals Why He Quit Hosting on 'Salon Drip'

Ahn Bo-hyun, known for his role in the drama 'Spring Fever,' recently shared the reason behind his decision to step away from hosting on the YouTube show 'Salon Drip.'

On the episode aired on the 6th, Ahn Bo-hyun appeared alongside co-star Lee Joo-bin. During the show, host Jang Do-yeon reminisced about their time co-hosting the 'MBC Entertainment Awards' in 2020. However, Ahn surprised everyone by admitting it was a memory he would rather forget.

Ahn explained, "I have poor eyesight and severe color blindness. I couldn't read the cue cards, so I relied on the teleprompter. But the text color was similar to Jang Do-yeon's, making it impossible to see. Even after changing the text color and size, it was still a struggle."

Frustrated with himself, Ahn underwent SMILE LASIK surgery. Jang Do-yeon commented, "Thanks to that, the atmosphere became more cheerful," to which Ahn humorously replied, "My squinting eyes probably gave it away to my friends. I decided not to host anymore, except maybe for weddings."

Ahn Bo-hyun and Lee Joo-bin also shared how they became close. Lee mentioned, "People said he was 'a person who smells like a human,' and he truly is. We filmed 90% of the drama on location in Pohang, almost like living together, which created a camaraderie."

Ahn added, "The genre is romantic comedy, so there was a lot of physical contact, which brought us closer." Lee admitted, "I wanted to say that too, but I was too shy."

Before filming, Lee was shocked by the original material's intensity, saying, "I wondered if we were going to film all those high-intensity scenes. I thought I couldn't do it." Ahn reassured, "The drama isn't something to watch deeply. It's suitable for family viewing."
