Celebrating the premiere of the K-Drama Taxi Driver 2, male lead Lee Je Hoon guested on SBS’s afternoon radio program Cultwo Show.

During the program, in response to the radio show hosts marvelling over his ripped build, Lee Je Hoon explained he survived on a strict diet of beef and chicken breast protein to put the muscular look together.

While discussing his intense workout, though, comedian Lee Kyung Sil (also known as Lee Kyeong Shil) made a “thirsty” comment which, later, became deemed problematic among Lee Je Hoon and K-Drama fans, reports Soompi.

In an attempt to praise Lee Je Hoon’s gorgeous figure, the comedian claimed that one could “drip water down his chest” and how that would be “holy water.”

Most K-Drama fans accused the comedian of “sexual harassment,” pointing out that her sense of humour is “outdated” and “no longer considered funny in 2023.”
