Throughout his career, Lee Byung Hun has been swept up in quite a few rumors and scandals, and with his appearance on 'Healing Camp' he hoped to clarify some of the past rumors that he kept silent about in the past.

Lee Byung Hun had previously endorsed a donut franchise before being suddenly notified that they would not be renewing their contract with him. The rumor circulating at the time was that this was due to the actor's demand for too many free donuts.

The actor commented, "After 1-2 years, the model changed. People said that it was because I ate too many free donuts from that place. People say that I would even take an extra box for my friends, and that I kept taking and taking, so I got fired. To be honest, isn't it funny? I thought, 'there's a rumor like that? That's funny', but as time passed, it no longer became a rumor but a part of my image of what people thought of me."

When asked why he kept silent on the issue, he remarked hilariously, "What would I have said? 'I swear I didn't eat too many donuts!'? I had to eat about 40 to 100 donuts just to shoot the CFs so I was so sick of donuts already, so why would I go and ask for more? However, the rumors even reached the company and they also decided to not renew our contract because of them."

He continued, "I was really amazed. I couldn't believe people believed it but I realized that it's something that people in the public's eye just had to deal with."
