TEEN TOP's Niel recalled how he and his members got into petty fist fights during their youth.

On September 6, Niel and INFINITE's Sungjong appeared as guests on KARA Gyuri's YouTube channel. On this day, the three veteran idols chatted about the good ol' days, the 2010s.

Here, Gyuri mentioned, "With girl groups, there are times when disagreements arise, but they never get resolved completely. So it ends up leaving a bad feeling in your gut. I was always curious if it was the same with boy groups, or if you guys just fight it out with your fists."

Sungjong, referring to his group INFINITE, said, "I don't know if any of us ever fought with our fists. We just always told the other person up front if there was something bothering us."

However, Niel revealed, "We fought a lot. Things got physical real fast." Both Gyuri and Sungjong were shocked to hear this, and Sungjong asked, "But you didn't hit each other in the face?" To this, Niel answered, "No I did get hit in the face. One time, I had to get stitches on my lip because I got hit in the face."

He explained, "It was the pettiest thing. One of the hyungs was user the hair dryer on their feet. But then I came out of the shower and took the dryer from him, saying, 'Let me dry my hair'. He got pissed off, and we got into a fight. So while we were fighting, the leader hyung saw us, got up, and punched me because I was the younger one. He hit me once, and I got pushed back. That was just how we resolved things back then."

Niel continued, "But after that, we went to grab food, but my lip hurt really bad. So I told the manager, 'I fell on the stairs', and went to urgent care. They had to stitch it up. But we had 'Inkigayo' the next day. My lip was so swollen on that 'Inkigayo' stage."
