Basketball player Lee Gwan-hee directly clarified comments made in a date video with his girlfriend, Yoo Si-eun, after some netizens raised concerns.

On the 30th of last month, Lee left a comment on a post about himself and Yoo Si-eun published on a magazine-style social media account, stating, "It was a balance game. Please watch it for fun." He took this step to directly state his position after remarks he exchanged with Yoo Si-eun regarding date expenses sparked controversy and heated debate.

Previously, on the 29th of last month, Yoo Si-eun released a video titled "What do you do when you go on a date?" on her YouTube channel. The video featured Lee Gwan-hee and Yoo Si-eun playing a balance game together.

On that day, the two chose between "splitting lifetime date costs 50-50" and "the loser of rock-paper-scissors pays for all lifetime date costs." Yoo Si-eun selected the latter, while Lee Gwan-hee joked, "I want to do 50-50 for life. From now on, 50-50? Since you ate more today, I'll pay 60 percent."

They then proceeded with a balance game regarding contact frequency. When Yoo Si-eun chose "a partner who doesn't contact often but shows affection well when meeting," Lee Gwan-hee said, "Whether it turns out to be rice porridge or rice, you just need to stick by my side. I think that would feel like love."

In response, Yoo Si-eun revealed about Lee Gwan-hee, "He really contacts me every second," eliciting laughter.

However, after the video was released, some netizens pointed out Lee Gwan-hee's remarks regarding date expenses. In response, Lee emphasized that the comments were made during a balance game and urged viewers to "watch it for fun."

Meanwhile, Lee Gwan-hee and Yoo Si-eun met through Netflix's "Single's Inferno 3." At the time, the two each became final couples with different participants, but they developed into a romantic relationship after the program ended.
