• Netizens react to Single's Inferno 3's Lee Kwan Hee setting the record straight on relationship with Choi Hye Sun

    After the finale of 'Single's Inferno 3,' where Lee Kwan Hee chose Choi Hye Sun, fans were curious about their offscreen relationship. Amid ongoing speculation, Lee Kwan Hee decided to clear the air himself.

    On January 20, the professional basketball player used his personal YouTube channel to share that he and Choi Hye Sun are not a couple.

    He explained, "I usually don't post on YouTube during the basketball season, but I wanted to address this. I want to make it clear that I'm not in a relationship with Choi Hye Sun."

    Lee Kwan Hee added, "I did communicate with Choi Hye Sun right after the show, and we met at a dinner, but for a relationship, I need someone I can see every day.."

    He continued, "In reality, Hye Sun has to go back to England soon, and I have training in Changwon. Considering all this, I didn't see us being a couple. That's why I only kept in touch with her occasionally".

    Addressing rumors about gifting flowers on Choi Hye Sun's birthday, he clarified, "I've never been to that florist, and I never gave her flowers," denying social media speculations.

    Netizens shared their thoughts:

    "All this drama for what? Just for our entertainment, I guess ?."

    "Good! She deserves better!"

    "Okay then! Profile successfully raised, rumors debunked, back to the day job."

    "We all knew they weren't going to work out; the show is pure publicity."

    "No wonder I sensed a romantic chemistry between Hye Sun and Won Ik in the recent vlog post. There seems to be a special connection between them with a romantic undertone."

    "Not surprised at all. Kwan Hee is so indecisive. He never made up his mind. Women hate that. Hye Sun probably just went along for the show, but she was never going to take Kwan Hee seriously."

    "Well, there we have it. Straight from the horse’s mouth."
