Lee Dong Wook would walk around naked after taking showers?

Kim Ji Suk spoke about Lee Dong Wook‘s strange habits in the army on the latest episode of ‘Strong Heart‘.

Lee Dong Wook is the new MC of SBS’s ‘Strong Heart’, and on his first show which aired on April 10th, he said, “I lost over 10 kg. I am currently 72 kgs but when I was in the army I was at 86kg.”

Boom brought on laughter as he jokingly teased, “When I would wake up in the morning [in the army] I would be surprised and exclaim, ‘Oh what’, because Lee Dong Wook was a lot heavier.”

Kim Ji Suk added, “Whenever Lee Dong Wook showered, he would end up walking around naked. I never understood that.“ Boom added, “Only people with nice bodies walk around naked, so it was strange that he would.”

Entertainer Song Eun Yi then made everyone laugh as she added, “All this talks makes me for the first time want to go to the army.”

This was the first ‘Strong Heart’ episode without MC Lee Seung Gi and the first time that the audience was able to see Shin Dong Yup and Lee Dong Wook take the lead. The logo, trophy and theme songs were all changed and the guests that were featured were all close friends of the MCs.

On the upcoming episode of SBS‘s ‘Strong Heart‘, Big Bang‘s Daesung revealed that his sister had been a tremendous help when he was going through difficult times last year.

He started his story by saying, “There is this woman who I am very awkward around. That person is none other than my nuna.”

He continued, “Last Year, when I was having a difficult time, my sister, who is a soldier, even took a break from the military to come comfort me.”

At the end of his story, although Daesung was extremely shy, he left a heart-warming video message to his beloved sister.

Big Bang’s T.O.P tried to run off set during recent shoot for ‘Strong Heart’

Big Bang‘s rapper T.O.P tried to hurriedly run off set in the middle of a film shoot.

The March 27th episode of SBS‘s ‘Strong Heart‘ was a ‘YG Family‘ special, featuring artists such as Psy, Big Bang, Se7en, Tablo, Gummy, 2NE1, and more.

Singer Gummy began telling a story about how she became intoxicated with alcohol and began singing Shim Soo Bong‘s “I Know Nothing But Love“, when all of a sudden Big Bang’s T.O.P tried to cut across the set unnoticed. But the camera caught him, and the sound that the heels of his shoes made against the studio floor were hard to ignore, causing everyone to turn their attention towards him.

Lee Seung Gi grabbed T.O.P who was leaving the set and asked where he was going. Embarrassed, T.O.P turned red and admitted that he wanted to use the restroom. “Gummy noona was talking, so I was going to secretly sneak out of here,” he confessed, causing everyone on set to laugh.

MC Lee Seung Gi then hilariously remarked that T.O.P looked like a dinosaur walking off set and mimicked him, causing the guests and audience members to continue howling with laughter.
