During the December 2 episode of KBS2’s “Synchro U”, F.T. Island’s Lee Hongki appeared as a performing artist.
Here, while listening to Lee Hongki’s stage, aespa’s Karina, who is one of the show’s main cast, revealed, “My groupmate Winter is a huge fan of Lee Hongki. She listens to his live clips in the car all the time”.
The episode also featured amusing moments with Yoo Jae-suk, Karina (real name Yoo Ji-min), and Naul (real name Yoo Na-ul) forming an impromptu group called the “Yoo Clan of Myogeumdo,” based on their shared surname. In particular, the performance of Naul sparked a playful banter, with Karina joking, “Let’s hold a Yoo clan gathering today!”
The final episode of “Synchro U” also delivered various other highlights with outstanding vocal performance, earning praise from Karina for its live vocal authenticity. Fans are curious to see if Karina’s sharp instincts, earning her the nickname “Detective Karina,” will maintain her top accuracy rate until the season’s end.
Meanwhile, Lee Hongki recently found himself amidst a heated debate for his remarks defending F.T. Island’s youngest member, Choi Minhwan, following allegations of soliciting prostitution made by his ex-wife, Yulhee.
In particular, Lee’s statements on the fan platform Weverse said, “It was their private matter, and things turned out like this. If they’ve done wrong, they should bow their heads and apologize. But shouldn’t we also avoid believing everything too easily? What if it wasn’t prostitution or a prostitution venue? Can you take responsibility for what you’re saying?”
On November 30, Choi Minhwan clarified his stance, announcing that the allegations had been dismissed as baseless. He stated, “With one-sided claims, falsehoods, and numerous distorted speculations spreading as though they were facts, I believed speaking prematurely without results would worsen the situation. Moving forward, I will strive to be more responsible and mature.”
