Actor Song Seung Hun shared the surprising reason he quit smoking, and it's all thanks to a comment from his ex-girlfriend!

On the May 20 episode of the YouTube show 'Zzanbro', Song Seung Hun appeared alongside comedian Kim Young Chul.

The conversation turned interesting when Song Seung Hun asked, "Can you smoke on YouTube shows?" This question led to some hilarious and eye-opening stories.

He reminisced about the past, saying, "When I did a sitcom with Shin Dong Yup, he used to smoke on set. They even showed it on TV back then, until the late '90s."

Shin Dong Yup responded, "I saw an old video of me smoking on TV, and it felt so weird. It's just too strange now."

Then, Song Seung Hun got serious and revealed why he decided to quit smoking. "In school, I loved sports, especially running and soccer. But one day, I joined a soccer club and got out of breath in just five minutes. It hit me that my health was going downhill."

But the real kicker came from his ex-girlfriend. "She told me, 'Oppa, You should quit smoking.' When I asked why, she bluntly said, 'Your breath smells like poop.'"

With a laugh, Song Seung Hun admitted, "I quit smoking that very day. Seriously."

The show got even funnier when another host, comedian Jung Ho Chul, asked about a story Shin Dong Yup once shared.

Shin Dong Yup had offered to light Song Seung Hun's cigarette back in the day. Trying to be polite, Song Seung Hun bent forward awkwardly, unsure of how to react to such a gesture from a senior actor.

Shin Dong Yup reenacted the moment, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Song Seung Hun confirmed the story, explaining that as a rookie, he was just trying to be respectful.

A recent KBS drama shoot starring Girls' Generation's Seohyun and 2PM's Taecyeon has sparked controversy after accusations of damaging a UNESCO World Heritage site.

On January 2, architect Min Seo Hong took to Facebook to criticize the production of the upcoming drama I Took the Male Lead's First Night, which used Byeongsan Seowon, a historic Korean Confucian academy, as a filming location.

His post, titled "An Account of What I Witnessed at Byeongsan Seowon," detailed shocking allegations about the crew's actions.

Min shared that he visited Byeongsan Seowon on December 30, only to find the site bustling with drama staff.

"As I approached, I saw crew members moving around. At first, I didn’t realize it was a filming set, but when I entered the seowon, I felt uneasy knowing this historic site was being used this way," he wrote.

What he saw inside was alarming. According to Min, props were scattered throughout the seowon, and staff were hammering nails into wooden pillars to hang lights.

When he confronted them, they reportedly dismissed his concerns, saying, "We already have permission from Andong City. If you’re curious, contact them."

Determined to take action, Min contacted Andong City’s Cultural Heritage Department. A city official admitted they had approved the filming but appeared unaware of the damage being done.

"When I asked if they knew about the nails in the wooden pillars, they seemed flustered and promised to order their removal immediately," Min shared.

Experts later informed Min that incidents like this aren’t uncommon, with some modern heritage sites even being dismantled for filming. "People might think hammering nails is minor, but in traditional Korean houses, it’s a big deal to even drive in one nail. For cultural heritage, this should never happen," he said.

Min’s biggest concern is the decision to allow such a valuable site, designated as Historic Site No. 260 and a UNESCO World Heritage site, to be used for filming at all. "This was a KBS drama production, and it’s deplorable that they showed such little care for cultural heritage," he added.

The drama, I Took the Male Lead's First Night, is already drawing backlash before its release, with many netizens expressing anger over the alleged damage to the historic site. Comments online include:

"Why are cultural heritage sites being used as filming locations in the first place?"

"If this is true, KBS owes an apology not just to viewers but to the nation."

"Respect for cultural heritage should come before making a drama."

Neither KBS nor the drama's production team has released an official statement regarding the allegations.

However, the issue has sparked heated debate, with many calling for stricter regulations on the use of heritage sites for filming.
