Comedian Lee Kyung-kyu directly denied rumors about health problems.
On the 23rd, the channel Kim Kook Jin Kim Yong Man's Road uploaded a video titled "This time it's definitely ding-dong! Upgraded rules + new carrot on the line, reunited Kyung-kyu vs. Yong-man vs. Jedong!"
That day, Kim Yong Man, Lee Kyung-kyu and Kim Jedong reunited at the golf course for golf. While doing so, Lee Kyung-kyu mentioned the previous episode and said, "During the round that day, toward the back nine my throat felt a bit off. A friend of a younger brother I know called. That friend said, 'Isn't Kyung-kyu hyung having a stroke?' He said his speech was slurred. His speech had become slurred," recounting the experience that raised suspicions of a "health issue."
In response, Kim Yong Man said, "So I called him, didn't I," and added, "There were a lot of articles about that," and Lee Kyung-kyu explained, "There were a lot of articles saying 'health issue.' But I'm not slurred. My voice was hoarse because I was angry, so that's why."
Kim Yong Man recalled the situation, "During the previous round, he practiced for three hours the day before. He was a bit anxious, so I called him at 8 a.m. and he practiced some more, but as soon as we started he was eight over in four holes. Then he got so angry that when he moved he started shouting."
Lee Kyung-kyu said, "I couldn't speak," and Kim Yong Man emphasized that the health concerns were unfounded, saying, "Mr. Lee recently had a checkup and it came out perfectly normal with no abnormalities."
Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-kyu was swept up in health rumors after appearing in a recent YouTube video with somewhat slurred speech. His agency dismissed it as "not true." After that, on the 12th he appeared as a live broadcast MC on KBS1's 2026 FIFA CONCACAF World Cup D-30 for victory, continuing smooth hosting and dispelling concerns.<
