Julien Kang talks about his previous drunken behavior on the streets + apologizes to viewers on 'Hello! Stranger'

Oh November 13 airing of MBC 'Hello! Stranger,' actor Julien Kang joined the crew as they took a day trip to Jeonjoo to learn and experience the unique cultural aspects of South Korea. 


As the 'Hello! Stranger' gang took off to their destination, Kangnam and Kwanghee started to mention how the atmosphere seemed brighter because Julien was there. Julien Kang, however, revealed that he felt a bit burdened by appearing on shows already as he had been reflecting about his previous drunk behavior where he was found loitering the streets in his underwear. He said, "I feel burdened because of that...you know... that situation... I was in the midst of self-reflecting.


Surprised that Julien Kang was bringing up the situation himself, Kwanghee humorously remarked, "Hyung, why are you bringing that up, nobody here brought it up!" But the actor continued, "I'm regretful (of that day)... I was self-reflecting and thought about a lot about whether I should accept the offer to make an appearance on the show. But hyung (Kim Kwang Kyu) called me and pleaded that it was hard for him doing it alone. So I figured that it was best if I appear and try to show a better side to myself [to the viewers]."




Since Julien Kang brought up the issue, Kim Kwang Kyu asked, "Speaking of which, why did you do what you did that day?" And the rest of the cast chimed, "Yeah, what happened that day? We're really curious." The actor answered, "Honestly, that day I just drank a lot. People just kept offering me drinks and you know how Korean drinking culture is like, you should accept it out of courtesy.


Kwanghee asked in response, "So you just took off your clothes in that drunken state?" while Kim Kwang Kyu remarked, "I heard you also started to rearrange the chairs of a convenience store [in your drunken state]." Julien answered as he joked, "I really don't remember.. Maybe I decided it looked dirty and wanted to clean up? I'm really not the type to normally clean things and such so I really don't know why I did that... Maybe if your house is really dirty, you can give me some alcohol and I'll start cleaning your house for you," bringing laughter on set.


The actor also looked into the camera to once again apologize to the viewers, saying "I made a mistake after drinking. I didn't do it on purpose and I really don't remember what happened. I'm really sorry. From now on, don't offer me any drinks, please!" 


When he was asked if he had quit drinking, Julien answered, "I've stopped drinking for a while." And the cast clapped for him to applaud his courage to open up about a very embarrassing situation for him.
