Former tennis player Lee Hyung-taek addressed the assault scandal.

The the 16th episode of MBC's variety program 'Radio Star,' themed as a special on "Nagoya-Ho! Asian Games," featured Lee Hyung-taek, Lee Hye-jeong, Jo Jun-ho, and Minami.

On that day, Lee Hyung-taek said about the assault scandal involving Lee Dae-hoon: "I am speaking about this for the first time. Before that, after drinking heavily, Dae-hoon tried to take me in his car because he wanted to look after me. We both fell while he was helping me. As I struggled to get up, people claimed it was an assault."

Last year, rumors spread that a taekwondo Olympic medalist A and a former national tennis team member B had a drinking session near a parking lot in Seoul Gangnam-gu in 2024, leading to an assault dispute, with one of them reportedly requiring an ambulance.

In the studio, they introduced fake news titled "Lee Dae-hoon drove Lee Hyung-taek around after he drank." Lee Hyung-taek remarked, "(It's fake,) but I was there, and some people wrote it that way."

He continued, "Dae-hoon is an incredibly kind junior, and we have a significant age gap. It absolutely did not happen. Martial artists do not do such things," clarifying the situation.

He added, "It happened after drinking, so I was embarrassed and didn't want to talk about it. But somehow, people kept adding details until it became a story."
