8eight's Lee Hyun was one of the contestants that took part in the "Idol Star Athletics Championship" Chuseok Special. On this special show, Lee Hyun was part of the 100m race with idol boy group members. When the start gun went off, Lee Hyun was the only contestant that didn't start running right away. He started to yell that he did not hear the gun go off. Viewers are not pinpointing this as an attitude problem controversy. He was on one of the far ends of the eight lanes which was closest to the audience. Because of the loudness of the audience, he was not able to hear the gun. Lee Hyun is very athletic and competitive so this did upset him a little bit. He didn't look very satisfied but there was nothing that could be done. He just didn't run the race at all. Viewers said,

"Even if you are late, you should've just ran anyway." "It would've been nicer if he gave it his all and ran." "Why couldn't he just laugh it off?"
