Singer Kim Hyun Joong said his apologies to Lee Seung Gi.

The October 25th episode of SBS’s ‘Strong Heart’ was a special as the 100th episode. Kim Hyun Joong was on this special episode and told his story related to Lee Seung Gi.

Kim Hyun Joong said on the show that his hobby is soccer and followed, “Found out that I use the soccer field as Lee Seug Gi and so we decided to go play soccer together”.

However, Kim Hyun Joong ended up watching movies till early morning and woke up too late in the morning and could not keep his promise to Lee Seung Gi and so wanted to express to Lee Seung Gi that he felt bad about it.

Lee Seung Gi made everyone laugh by wittily joking, “I said Kim Hyun Joong was coming so if you don’t, then I just become a liar and it’s great. I’m ok”.

Lee Seung Gi even added, “You said you watched movies but when you called me the night before, I could hear some knocking sounds over the phone”.

Kim Hyun Joong was all flustered at that and said, “Really I definitely didn’t go to a club but I did go to a pojangmacha. The knocking sound could be maybe because I was sitting in front of a speaker?” causing a tidal wave of laughter at the studio. (Pojangmacha = small, tented, street stalls on wheels usually selling street foods, and no, you guessed it, no speakers expected there)

Kim Hyun Joong untagled the misunderstanding with Lee Seung Gi and said, “I will officially ask you out of a soccer date on air” proving it was all good between the donggab naegi friends. (donggab naegi = of the same age)

On the same episode, Lee Hee Jin also revealed her long history with Hong Kyung Min drawing attention.

Kim Hyun Joong promised Lee Seung Gi that they were supposed to get together to play soccer in the morning. But the night before, Kim Hyun Joong worked until the early hours of the morning. He wanted to keep his promise and so he got all of his athletic equipment, ready to go play soccer. He decided to forego sleep altogether so that he would be able to meet with Seung Gi. But alas, the singer ultimately fell asleep and when he woke up, it was already late into the afternoon / early evening.

MC Lee Seung Gi ‘accepted’ his apology and evoked laughter by sarcastically saying, “It’s okay, I mean I only promised my juniors that singer Kim Hyun Joong would arrive to play soccer with us, and you only made me into a big liar, but hey, I don’t concern myself with petty things like that.”

Additionally, Eunhyuk and Lee Teuk got a call from Seung Gi to come play soccer that day and Seung Gi reportedly told them not to “be like Hyun Joong“.

In between laughs, Kim Hyun Joong again apologized to his friend, and even proposed an official soccer date. Lee Seung Gi accepted, and told him he would be glad to work out together anytime.
