[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Actor Kim Hee-won revealed a story about a scar on his lip.

On the 2nd, the tvN variety show 'House on Wheels' aired an episode featuring actors Gong Hyo-jin, Sung Dong-il, Kim Hee-won, and Yeo Jin-goo spending their second day in Jeju Island.

In the episode, Sung Dong-il and Kim Hee-won woke up early and spent some time alone together.

Sung Dong-il looked at Kim Hee-won and said, "There has always been something I was curious about whenever I saw you. I didn’t ask because I was afraid it might hurt you. My wife also has a scar from falling, and you have a scar in the exact same spot. May I ask how you got the scar on your lip?"

Kim Hee-won recalled, "I was hit by a friend. When I was in the 6th grade of elementary school, a friend just hit me and it started bleeding. We were both so shocked that we immediately went to the hospital. My mom came too, and it was quite a commotion."

Sung Dong-il said, "I was curious about that. Since it’s on your lip, the scar is more noticeable. What happened to that friend?"

Kim Hee-won replied, "He is my closest friend. He still lives in the same neighborhood. Whenever I appear on TV, that friend’s mother sees the scar and still feels sorry, but I tell her it’s okay."
