Former Single's Inferno contestant and basketball player Lee Kwan Hee made a surprising claim, saying he is a "prince from the Philippines."

On October 27, the JTBC show Extreme Tour showcased Lee Kwan Hee's travel adventures in the Philippines alongside Physical: 100 Season 2 winner, Amoti. The two arrived in the colorful rural village of Laguna early in the morning.

Lee Kwan Hee jokingly told Amoti, who was showing off his tanned and muscular arms in a sleeveless shirt, “You’re in the Philippines, but you look more local than me.” While Amoti fit right in with the local vibe, Lee Kwan Hee showed off his knowledge of Philippine culture.

Having played in the Philippine basketball league in the past, Lee Kwan Hee confidently declared, “I was a prince in the Philippines about 6 or 7 years ago.”

However, the show’s MCs were doubtful, saying, “We need to verify the Philippine prince claim.” Lee Kwan Hee responded with a grin, “I couldn't walk around the city in the Philippines. I was a Philippine prince!” He felt wronged by their disbelief.

Kang Ji Young commented, “This is the first time I've met someone who calls themselves a prince,” to which Park Myung Soo humorously chimed in, “Aren't I here?” referring to his famous song "Prince of the Sea."

The two jokingly greeted each other, saying, “Let’s shake hands as fellow princes,” which brought laughter to everyone around.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
