Ahn Jae-hyun Addresses Gay Rumors on 'Problem Child in House'

Ahn Jae-hyun has addressed the rumors about his sexuality.

On the October 9th episode of KBS2's variety show 'Problem Child in House Season 2' (Episode 309), 'unexpected celebrity friends' K.Will and Ahn Jae-hyun made an appearance.

The duo, showcasing their close friendship, revealed that their bond strengthened during the filming of K.Will's music video 'Please Don't...'. The music video, known for its groundbreaking BL narrative, gained significant attention upon release and has recently garnered global fan support. Ahn Jae-hyun humorously shared, "I didn't know the storyline when we were filming. It was only after the shoot that I realized the theme," expressing pride in his newfound 'world gay' status. However, he clarified the gay rumors that have followed him since his modeling days, stating, "In the modeling industry, it's common to model both men's and women's clothing. I was rumored to be gay because I modeled women's clothing well. It made me think, 'I must be doing a good job.'"

During the quiz segment, questions like "Reasons for South Korea's low happiness index in the '2025 World Happiness Report'", "Why Yutaka Matsushige was worried about playing 'Goro' in 'The Solitary Gourmet'", and "How an Illinois student paid off 22 million won in tuition" were posed, along with various entertaining anecdotes.

Among these, K.Will and Ahn Jae-hyun's 'single life' stories caught attention. Ahn Jae-hyun shared, "When I'm alone, I dream of a happy future," adding, "These days, I read the morning paper. It's partly for show," eliciting laughter. Meanwhile, K.Will revealed he recently remodeled his new home, joking, "As soon as my friends heard about the remodeling, they asked if I was getting married like Jong-kook. But when they saw the house, they said, 'You really don't plan on getting married, do you?'"

The rooftop was thrown into laughter with talks of a mock marriage contract. Ahn Jae-hyun mentioned, "K.Will promised to give me 10 million won as a wedding gift if he gets married. I sometimes think I might not get married," prompting Joo Woo-jae and Yang Se-chan to chime in, "We'll pool together 1 billion won if Eun-yi gets married," and "I'll donate my entire fortune," reinforcing their commitment to staying single. This led to Song Eun-yi and K.Will forming a strategic alliance. K.Will proposed, "Eun-yi, if you marry me, it's 1 billion and 10 million won!" to which Song Eun-yi enthusiastically agreed, causing laughter all around. Kim Jong-kook jokingly advised K.Will, "Wouldn't it be better to earn it yourself?" but K.Will, captivated by the imaginary 1 billion, humorously told Song Eun-yi, "I'll call you when I'm in need," adding to the hilarity.

The chemistry between the newly 'contracted couple' Song Eun-yi and K.Will continued to flourish. K.Will, a singer and director at Starship Entertainment, disclosed the company's benefits, saying, "We receive 2 million won as a wedding gift," to which Song Eun-yi exclaimed, "Then our total wedding gift is 1 billion and 2.2 million won," and declared, "I should be a good wife," triggering laughter. When K.Will mentioned, "If I get married, I might miss the freedom to travel whenever I want," Song Eun-yi responded, "Go on a solo trip! Why not? That's my hobby," showcasing her suitability as a 'K.Will-tailored wife.'
