[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Kim Hee-chul experienced embarrassment after inviting fellow celebrities to his home on a broadcast.
On the SBS show 'My Ugly Duckling' aired on the 20th, Kim Hee-chul invited Lee Sang-min, Kim Jun-ho, and Kim Jong-min to his house. On that day, Lee Sang-min said to Kim Hee-chul, "People need to loosen up a bit. When I meet this guy, I get nervous. They say drinking goes well with you, right? That's because when you're around, you don't get drunk."
Kim Hee-chul revealed, "I once met a friend who really couldn't drink well. We drank at home, and I think he got drunk because he went to the bathroom and threw up. I had no idea. He came out after a while. He said he threw up but was so scared of me being neat that he cleaned the bathroom before coming out."
Lee Sang-min said, "That's how you're known. Anyone who meets you ends up checking their surroundings," and Kim Jong-min added, "We like you a lot, but it's not easy to get close to you." Lee Sang-min added, "If you meet with Jun-ho, Jun-ho might be more popular."
Lee Sang-min imagined a situation where Kim Hee-chul's girlfriend visits his home and showed how to remove lipstick stains from the sofa or pillows. Lee Sang-min sprayed hairspray on the lipstick stain, and Kim Hee-chul complained, "Even if you wipe it with hairspray, won't the hairspray remain inside the pillow?" Lee Sang-min comforted him, saying, "Hairspray contains alcohol. The alcohol evaporates."
Kim Jun-ho made a toilet paper roll into a shape resembling feces and placed it on the toilet seat. Seeing this, Kim Hee-chul angrily said, "I could retire." Kim Jun-ho explained, "Try pressing it. Would anyone poop like this?" Kim Hee-chul responded, "I understand you want me to change my personality, be neat, and act moderately so I can get a girlfriend and get married. But hasn't this role-play gone too far?"
Lee Sang-min added, "There are cases like this. Many couples really don't flush the toilet," and Kim Jong-min supported, "Sometimes you think it's flushed, but it actually isn't." In the end, Kim Hee-chul laughed and said, "I was wrong. No one will meet me."
Then, live squid was delivered by courier, and Kim Hee-chul was startled when the squid squirted ink. Lee Sang-min had prepared the live squid intentionally to dull Kim Hee-chul's neat personality. Lee Sang-min boiled the squid, and Kim Hee-chul said, "If it tastes bad, I'll get mad." However, after eating the squid, he stuck out his tongue, saying, "It's so delicious that it's annoying."
Lee Sang-min excitedly said, "He’s starting to soak in a bit. To us. He's really human," and Kim Hee-chul countered, "Think about it. If you get a debt of 100 million won, you'd say 'What do I do?' 200 million, 300 million, 1 billion, 7 billion, you become indifferent. From the moment the squid ink splattered, I thought, 'These people aren't the type to be scolded.' That's how strong it is for me."
Lee Sang-min asked, "In movies, when it rains, people kiss and lie on the asphalt. You can't even dream of that, right?" Kim Hee-chul said, "That's crazy," and added, "When I was in my 20s, I was eating outside with my girlfriend, and when she tried to kiss me, I said 'No' and went to brush my teeth."
Lee Sang-min was baffled and said, "This situation now is so happy. You're about to kiss while eating something delicious."
Kim Hee-chul said, "Because of that, my girlfriend really disliked me. I thought that was my way of being considerate. It's all because of my mom. Since I was young, my mom didn't let me eat things like wafers on the sofa. My mom is 100 times cleaner than me. When my mom said, 'Why is he like that?' she raised me this way," he lamented.
Then Kim Jun-ho said, "You talk about your mom too much. You're almost 40. You have no popularity at all. I wonder if you're a 'mama's boy'?" Kim Hee-chul annoyedly replied, "I'm really sorry, but are you guys more popular than me? Are you seeing anyone right now?"
