Lee Ik-kyung showed signs of being affected by negative comments.
On the afternoon of the 14th, during the MBC entertainment program 'What Do You Do When You Play?' (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Jang Woo-sung, Jang Hyo-jong, Wang Jong-seok, written by Choi Hye-jung), Lee Ik-kyung revealed that he had been emotionally distressed due to the ugly noodle slurping.
In the broadcast, Yoo Jae-suk comforted Lee Ik-kyung, saying, "Ik-kyung is getting criticized for what he eats... He's not that kind of friend, but he tried to be funny by slurping noodles and ended up getting hate."
Lee Ik-kyung trembled and said, "I don't eat like that!" while Haha consoled him, saying, "He's just a good kid." Yoo Jae-suk added, "He's a variety show kid, so he tries to be funny. He just can't find the middle ground."
MBC's 'What Do You Do When You Play?' airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM.
