Actor Lee Yi-kyung appeared as scheduled on MBC's Hangout With Yoo after the controversy over fabricated private life. Although his participation in the recording itself was unedited, his comments and activities seemed somewhat edited, creating a different atmosphere than before.
The episode of Hangout With Yoo broadcast on the 25th was presented as a "Comma, club autumn gathering" special. That day Yoo Jae-suk greeted members transformed into an autumn man, and Haha, Joo Woo-jae and Lee Yi-kyung appeared in flashy hiking outfits. Guests were Ha Dong-kyun and Heo Kyung-hwan.
Joo Woo-jae introduced his nickname as "Yeoksam-dong 3rd generation 500," and Haha described himself as "Seoritae." Lee Yi-kyung briefly greeted with "IMF." Quietly smiling beside Yoo Jae-suk throughout the opening, he said timidly, "I was down and withdrawn during the IMF, but I came out today to reform myself."
That day Lee Yi-kyung appeared without separate editing, but his amount of commentary was noticeably reduced compared with his past appearances on Hangout With Yoo. Perhaps because his secondary character was set as a timid, extremely introverted person, his comments were almost absent. He spoke occasionally, but compared with his previously wild antics, his performance was noticeably different.
Lee Yi-kyung was swept up in so-called "19+ private life revelations" on SNS and online communities on the 20th. A person identifying herself as a German woman, A, posted an exposé claiming "I had sexual conversations with Lee Yi-kyung," and the piece included expressions that implied sexual assault, amplifying the fallout.
