Comedian Lee Kyung Sil slammed for ‘sexual harassment’ against Lee Je Hoon (taxi driver).
Taxi Driver 2 finally premieres, and Lee Je Hoon talks preparing for his role as anti-hero Kim Do Gi.
The 38-year-old star appeared as a guest on SBS PowerFM’s “Cultwo Show” along with co-star Pyo Ye Jin.
During the show, Lee Je Hoon and Pyo Ye Jin chatted with Kim Tae Kyun and Lee Kyung Sil while watching clips from Taxi Driver 2.
When Kim Tae Kyun and Lee Kyung Sil saw the photo of Kim Do Ki (Lee Je Hoon) taking off her top, they said: “I thought he was Bruce Lee”, “Is this your picture this time?” How did you build this body? “, etc.
Lee Je Hoon said: “It’s a scene from the K-drama. This is the scene where Kim Do Ki goes to prison to catch the criminal. I trained like crazy for this. »
Lee Kyung Sil then commented: “You could run water down his chest. Drink this holy water. It’s a brand new water filtration system.
Most KDrama fans have accused the comedian of “sexual harassment,” pointing out that his sense of humor is “outdated” and “won’t be considered funny in 2023.”
- “Some Ahjummas are like that. They think it’s funny… But people around them should let them know that in 2023 it won’t be considered funny anymore. Imagine a male comedian would say that to an actress.
- “Madam… Times have changed. You shouldn’t go around saying things like that.
- « Brutal. »
- “Ugh, what the hell is that?” We live in a different world now. This is disgusting behavior. »
- “Jokes like that worked when she was on Three Wheels. Now it is considered sexual harassment. »
Hundreds of KDrama fans agreed that Lee Kyung Sil’s comment was offensive to Lee Je Hoon and his fans.
- “If the same comment had been made to a female celebrity, it would have broken the internet. It’s so wild I had to look twice. »
- “It’s ridiculous that she thought, ‘Her breasts are watering.’ It’s even more ridiculous that she chose to speak up about it. It’s not like The Cultwo Show is an adult radio show. It’s an afternoon when everyone and everyone listens. »
- ” Seriously. If it had been between a male comedian and a female celebrity, the backlash would have been much worse. The comedian would have been canceled forever. This is sexual harassment. »
- ” Disgusting. “
- “Imagine a guest being treated the same way…?” I hate that. I don’t even understand how she thinks that could even be a compliment. »
- “It’s disgusting, I’m throwing up. Ahjumma, sorry. »
The comedian didn’t respond to the growing criticism online.
