Pinggyego actor Lee Kwang-soo stated he was not intimidated by Hwang Jung-min, saying, “I’m not that much of a coward.”

Lee Kwang-soo appeared alongside actors Park Bo-young and Kim Hee-won in the YouTube channel DdeunDdeun’s program “Golden Friendship is Just an Excuse,” released on the morning of the 25th.

That day, Lee Kwang-soo mentioned an anecdote from the Pinggyego awards ceremony. He said, “This happened a while ago, but I’m telling you, I wasn’t actually scared back then. I wasn’t scared at all.”

Lee Kwang-soo had previously attended the Pinggyego awards ceremony. During the event, he jeered at Hwang Jung-min, saying, “Don’t act all high and mighty just because you won an award.” In response, Hwang Jung-min made a “shh!” gesture and shot him a glare, causing Lee to stumble and stop speaking. This was his belated explanation for the incident.

Yoo Jae-suk then remarked, “But in the industry, he’s completely intimidated… Park Jeong-min even mentioned it.” Lee Kwang-soo insisted, “No, I’m not that much of a coward. It’s true I asked Jeong-min if he was really angry. But I wasn’t scared. I’m not the type to get easily intimidated,” repeatedly clarifying himself to elicit laughter.

Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-suk questioned Kim Hee-won, who continued to use honorifics toward him. Yoo asked, “Why do you keep using honorifics?” and mentioned, “When you came to ‘Running Man,’ we were like childhood friends.”

Lee Kwang-soo added, “What happened? What’s going on…” and said, “On ‘Running Man,’ we weren’t that close, were we?”

Kim Hee-won explained, “I always feel awkward when I first see someone. Last time on ‘Whenever Possible,’ I was confused. It had been so long that I felt awkward.” Yoo Jae-suk laughed, saying, “That’s why you used honorifics at first, then later said, ‘See you next time, Jae-suk,’ and went back to ‘Hello.’”
