A comedian has found herself at the center of controversy due to remarks she made about actor Lee Je Hoon while appearing on a radio program last week.
On February 17 KST, Lee Kyeong Shil made an appearance on SBS Power FM's radio program 'Cultwo Show,' where she commented on a shirtless scene in Lee Je Hoon's new drama 'Taxi Driver 2.'
"Do you see that space in his chest cleavage? If you drip water down there and drink from it, then that's like medicine. It becomes sacred water," she commented, causing the show's host Kim Tae Gyun to jokingly ask her if she was going to drip water on her television screen and try to do it herself.
The comment quickly became a hot topic across Korean media outlets for its sexual nature, and on February 19, a Yonsei University student reported the comedian to the police, citing Obscene Acts by Using Means of Communication under the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.
Since the controversy, SBS has since removed the portion containing these remarks from broadcast recordings on both YouTube and the show's official website. Lee Kyeong Shil has yet to release a comment in response to the matter.
If a man said that about a woman, drinking “sacred water” from her cleavage, suddenly it’s not so funny any more.
