AKP STAFF



It's been revealed that�Lee Kyung Kyu researched homosexuality for the Hong Suk Chun episode of 'Healing Camp'.

SBS' general manager Lee Chang Tae, CP Choi Young In, and PD Shin Hyo Jung held a press conference for the upcoming program 'Incarnation' that will be following 'Strong Heart'. During the press conference, Hong Suk Chun's appearance on 'Healing Camp' also came up.

The general manager stated, "It was a good episode, and I realized how great of a host Lee Kyung Kyu was. On the show, it was mentioned that Lee Kyung Kyu was against Hong Suk Chun's appearance on the show, but in reality, he was very strongly against it. There were aspects he just could not accept because of his own values, and he worried that he would have to needlessly bring up Hong Suk Chun's painful memories."

However, Lee Kyung Kyu was eventually convinced that the show 'Healing Camp' must be able to handle all kind of subjects to preserve its integrity. The general manager revealed, "He then read and studied [the topic] so he could understand Hong Suk Chun, and he was able to expertly use [the knowledge] for the broadcast. It was a moment I realized Lee Kyung Kyu's talent."

As Korea's first celebrity to come out, Hong Suk Chun has gained both negative and positive attention. For a while, he wasn't able to appear on variety shows, but he's been guesting on programs again in recent years. His appearances on shows such as 'Radio Star' and 'Healing Camp' were praised widely.

However, it isn't just Hong Suk Chun's bravery that was praised. Once netizens found out how hard Lee Kyung Kyu worked for the episode, they commented, "This is why he is at the top after all these years", "Even though his values weren't the same, he worked hard to understand Hong Suk Chun. That is amazing", and "I love this about Lee Kyung Kyu. I hope I can see him on TV for a long, long time."
