Singer Lee Hyun-woo revealed the full story behind the "rumors of his death."
On the 13th, Lee Hyun-woo and Jo Jae-jeu appeared as guests on SBS Power FM's "Two O'Clock Escape Coltusho."
On that day, DJ Kim Tae-gyun asked Lee Hyun-woo, "How popular must you have been to even have rumors of your death spread?"
In response, Lee Hyun-woo said, "It has nothing to do with popularity," recalling the time the rumors spread: "It was April Fool's Day, and it seems a girl from a certain middle school started sending text messages with the rumor that 'Lee Hyun-woo is dead.'"
He continued, "At the time, I had just started doing radio, and middle school girls were not part of my fan base. It was more like a vibe of 'let's have fun with this person' rather than them being fans."
Lee Hyun-woo revealed, "The rumor spread like wildfire. But when I appeared on a live radio broadcast, everyone was surprised, saying, 'Lee Hyun-woo is alive.'"
