Comedian Kim Gura relayed the full details of the assault rumors surrounding former national tennis player Lee Hyung-taek and former national taekwondo player Lee Dae-hoon.

Kim Gura shared stories about entertainment industry gossip on his YouTube channel on the 14th.

Kim Gura said, "Just over 20 years ago, when celebrities gathered in the waiting room, they would talk about everything that happened the day before—like who met whom. It wasn't anything unusual. But nowadays, no one talks about themselves in the waiting room."

He added, "This structure makes it too easy for such conversations to be twisted into rumors."

During this discussion, Kim Gura mentioned the recent Gangnam assault rumors he heard directly from Lee Hyung-taek, who participated in an MBC 'Radio Star' recording.

Kim Gura stated, "There was gossip that Lee Hyung-taek and Lee Dae-hoon got into a fight where they hit each other. The rumor went like this: Lee Hyung-taek and Lee Dae-hoon were drinking, and Lee Hyung-taek suggested a challenge by placing an apple on his head. Then, while Lee Dae-hoon was spinning his leg, he supposedly got hit."

He then explained the actual situation as told to him by Lee Hyung-taek.

Lee Hyung-taek reportedly said, "We were just standing still. Both of us had drunk heavily—Lee Hyung-taek and Lee Dae-hoon—and while trying to hail a taxi, someone fell. Someone saw this and misunderstood it as a fight."

Earlier in 2024, news emerged that taekwondo Olympic medalist A and national tennis player B were involved in an assault dispute near a parking lot in Seoul's Gangnam District.

At the time, the reports did not reveal their real names, but it was later confirmed that A and B were Lee Dae-hoon and Lee Hyung-taek, respectively.

The two had been drinking together and were heading home when they stumbled into each other. A passerby who witnessed this mistakenly reported it as an assault incident.
