I wonder if there's another 'big belly' like this. Broadcaster Hong Jin-kyung (48) coolly forgave basketball player Lee Kwan-hee (38)'s "ignorant remarks."
The YouTube channel "Basketball Player God Kwan-hee" video released earlier on the 26th showed Lee Kwan-hee's remarks "ignoring" the quality of Hong Jin-kyung's love program MC, drawing criticism from netizens.
Lee Kwan-hee made her face known by appearing in season 3 of OTT Netflix's 'Solo Hell' in 2023. Hong Jin-kyung is the MC who is in charge of hosting the entire season until Season 5, which is currently releasing the "Solo Hell" series.
Lee Kwan-hee rudely shot Hong Jin-kyung, saying, "I don't think (Hong) Jin-kyung knows much about dating, but I'm angry to have a love lesson over there."
Although Yoon Ha-bin, who also appeared in "Solo Hell 3", said, "(Hong Jin-kyung) is married and has children," Lee Kwan-hee said, "Is it better than me if I get married?" I'm going to get married, too," he continued.
In the end, Lee Kwan-hee said, "Other MC Dex, Hanhae, and Lee Da-hee acknowledge everything. But honestly, I don't understand Jinkyung. "I don't think you'll be better at dating than I am," he said. "Jinkyung, do well. It's not funny," he sarcastically said.
The production team wrapped it up as a "professionals statement," but when criticism poured out that it was "cautious," the video was subtly "deleted."
Lee Kwan-hee was already pointed out for her rude attitude toward female performers when she appeared in 'Solo Hell 3'.

When Lee Kwan-hee's repeated rash words and actions were criticized, it was not the person concerned, but Hong Jin-kyung, who started to deal with them. Hong Jin-kyung, who suffered painfully, delivered Lee Kwan-hee's apology instead, quelling criticism.
Hong Jin-kyung captured a text message received from Lee Kwan-hee on his SNS on the 31st with a pleasant comment, "Solo hell, apple hell lol."
The contents of Lee Kwan-hee's text to Hong Jin-kyung are as follows. Lee Kwan-hee said, "I really like her, but I'm sorry for making such a controversy by my mistake. I think what I said to be funny hurt my sister, so I'm reflecting on myself a lot. It's okay for me to be criticized, but I hope there's never anything to hurt my sister's feelings. I'm sorry once again," he said.
Hong Jin-kyung emphasized that Lee Kwan-hee apologized several times, seemingly mindful of releasing the message in the first place. He said, "(Lee) Kwan-hee, you called me yesterday and texted me again today. Oh, please stop apologizing!" he said. This is a glimpse of Hong Jin-kyung's "grandpear."
In addition, Hong Jin-kyung said, "I also unintentionally make a lot of mistakes while doing broadcasts. It's okay, it's okay," he said, soothing Lee Kwan-hee.
He said, "You should come out as 'Study King Genius' and teach me basketball. No more apples. Have a good day," he said, showing his composure by asking for a YouTube channel.
Hong Jin-kyung also said, "Good day" to Lee Kwan-hee, who said, "Thank you for accepting the apology with a broad heart."
