Why did Lee Hongki stop growing at 175cm?

Posted by sweetrevenge1 pt Thursday, January 28, 2010

Lack of sleep, drinking, singing, and dancing. On the 27th airing of MBC's "Radio Star", handsome FT Island vocalist Lee Hongki confessed the story behind his true height. He admitted, "Different from the 178 cm that is written on my profile, my actual height is 175 cm." Hongki continued,

"This is my fourth year as a singer because I debuted when I was 18. My company thought that I would keep growing so they posted that as my 'profile height'. I even took a growth test and they told me I would grow to be 180 cm, but I think I'm done growing."
I admire Hongki for not stressing out about his height, especially since all male celebrities these days are "expected" to be at least 180 cm in Korea.
