Actor Lee Dong-hwi directly addressed the 'pumba look' controversy (?).
On the 11th, the official YouTube channel of the tvN variety show You Quiz on the Block, 'You Quiz on the Tube,' posted a video titled '[Pre-release] YouQuiz first reveal! Dong-hwi's "pumba look" explanation time. And a story made awkward because of discontinued Park Jihoon?'
In the video, Yu Jae-seok mentioned Lee Dong-hwi's "pumba look" from his recent appearance on MBC I Live Alone. The coat Lee Dong-hwi wore was known to be from a luxury brand, but because of its distinctive design, online reactions flooded in calling it a "pumba garment," making it a topic of conversation.
Yu Jae-seok laughed, saying, "These days it's very hard to seize an issue. This is a blessing," and the video captions listed "Dubai jjondeuk cookie," "Gwanaksan Mountain," and "wangsanam," followed by "the four hot topics these days," with "pumba garment" mentioned, drawing attention.
At this, Lee Dong-hwi laughed and said, "I should offer an explanation." When Yu Jae-seok said, "It was insanely expensive," Lee Dong-hwi candidly admitted, "Of course it was an expensive garment."
He continued, "Today the production team asked, 'Is there a garment that surpasses pumba?' so I was worried, but my mother forbade it," adding, "She especially told me not to cause trouble next to Jae-seok hyung," which provoked laughter.
Also, as Yu Jae-seok mentioned that Lee Dong-hwi plays the king in his next work and noted the recent 'royal dethronement boom,' Lee Dong-hwi joked, "Coincidentally. It was not intentional at all. Somehow, timing-wise it turned out this way," adding, "In that film, Park Jihoon really did method acting. So right now it's quite an awkward situation."
Meanwhile, You Quiz on the Block featuring Lee Dong-hwi will be broadcast at 8:45 p.m. that day.
