Actor Lee Yi-kyung revealed the behind-the-scenes of the 'myeonchigi controversy', and a conversation he had on Defconn's YouTube channel last July is being reexamined late. At the time, Defconn made remarks that seemed to lay the groundwork for Lee Yi-kyung's explanation, drawing viewers' attention.
Lee Yi-kyung first detailed the situation during the Japan shoot on DefconnTV, saying, "I had no way to explain, but I can explain it here." He said, "I had to film for more than four hours with senior Yoo Jae-seok, and we had to pick one hour's worth," and added, "From the day before I messaged Shim Eun-kyung that 'I might act rudely for variety's sake' and asked for her understanding."
In response, Defconn cautiously asked a practical question, "Don't people usually say before filming that 'there will be some overacting'?" and Lee Yi-kyung answered, "How can I talk when the recording starts as soon as we meet?" He went on to explain, "The camera angle amplified the controversy. While I was performing the myeonchigi, Eun-kyung's face was half captured, so it really looked like contempt."
Song Hae-na also recalled the shock at the time, saying, "I was really appalled when I saw that scene," and Defconn responded jokingly, "Who eats ramen like that?" Then Lee Yi-kyung revealed his inner thoughts, saying, "How hard do you think it was for me to perform this?"
At that moment Defconn left a meaningful remark, saying, "I'm a bit disappointed. Do you have to be that considerate? The production team didn't even ask you to do it," and Lee Yi-kyung swallowed quietly, making the atmosphere solemn for a moment. The scene has recently resurfaced and drawn reactions such as, "Didn't Defconn already know everything?" and "a sharp insight."
Meanwhile, earlier Lee Yi-kyung revealed the truth of the controversy by exposing that Hangout With Yoo had suggested he step down and that he was pressured to perform the myeonchigi. The production team also apologized, saying, "It was the production's greed for which we failed to protect the cast." Internet users, rewatching the myeonchigi scene, are now reacting differently, saying, "Now that I see it, it looks staged," and, "I felt uncomfortable at the time too, but knowing the context, it's different."
