Kim Won-hee Opens Up About Bold Moments with Shin Dong-yup on 'A-ni Geun-de Jinjja!'

Actress Kim Won-hee candidly discussed her daring interactions with Shin Dong-yup on the latest episode of SBS's variety show 'A-ni Geun-de Jinjja!' aired on the 9th.

During the 'Hell' themed talk show, Kim, a Christian, humorously expressed her concerns about being invited to such a concept. She sent a video message to her husband, joking, "We promised to die on the same day, but suddenly this happened. Don't call my husband; he needs to go to heaven."

When Tak Jae-hoon consoled her by saying, "No one keeps such promises," Kim humorously retorted, "Have you ever made such a promise with a woman?"

Kim reflected on her time with 'Kim Won-hee's men' in the entertainment industry, starting with Shin Dong-yup. The duo, known for their work on the pioneering skit show 'Shin Dong-yup Kim Won-hee's Hey Hey Hey,' shared behind-the-scenes stories of their unscripted antics driven by a desire to entertain.

When the topic of 'skinship with Shin Dong-yup' arose, Kim expressed surprise, saying, "We didn't have any special skinship." However, clips from about 24 years ago showed them engaging in daring acts like a pepero kiss and passing a paper with their mouths, leading her to admit, "We weren't even told to do that."

Lee Sang-min criticized, "Living like that is why you're in hell," while Kai was shocked by the past's different entertainment standards, saying, "The level was intense back then." Kim admitted, "It was a bit much. The script was just a skeleton, and everything was ad-libbed. I even had a boyfriend at the time."

Tak Jae-hoon jokingly suggested, "With that level of interaction, you should have married Shin Dong-yup," while Lee Sang-min noted, "It was meaningful because it surpassed a 20% viewership rating."

Kim, who was doing serious acting at the time, insisted, "I'm not that kind of person," adding, "Shin Dong-yup likes those provocative scenes. He even suggested ideas first. It was mutual; I didn't do it alone." Her candidness left the audience in stitches.
