Actor Lee Ji-hoon and his acquaintances were caught up in rumors that they verbally abused and quarreled with the staff while filming the drama.
Recently, in the staff group chat room of iHQ's new drama 'Sponsor', a staff member claimed that he heard abusive language from an acquaintance with Lee Ji-hoon. The staff member said, "As a public figure as an actor, I exploded cool. I don't know if it's a gangster or a neighborhood gangster, but I don't think he brought them to the scene and threatened them." I'm not the only one who felt this way, and there are many people who will testify to this as well."
As this fact became known, the 'Sponsor' side said on the 3rd, "I'm sorry to deliver bad news." "Lee Ji-hoon and his acquaintance had a conflict with a staff member on the set, but this was caused by misunderstandings about each other." He continued, "Lee Ji-hoon has expressed his apologies for the friction caused by not behaving more wisely and maturely."
Thumb Entertainment, Lee Ji-hoon's agency, also admitted, "It is true that there was a conflict between an acquaintance of our actor and a staff member at the scene."
He continued, "Actor Lee Ji-hoon tried to apologize right away on the same day, but it didn't go smoothly. I'm trying to get drunk," he said.
The controversy also included shocking content that Lee Ji-hoon changed his pants while complaining in front of the crew who pointed out frequent lateness.
Regarding this claim, Lee Ji-hoon's side said, "As for this part of 'I took off my bottoms and caused a scandal', it seems that the scene was urgently returned on the day, and he wrote this about the part where he changed clothes in a hurry." I apologize to the field staff who must have been there. I will be more careful in the future, but I hope there is no misunderstanding about this part."
"The actor realized the seriousness of this situation and is reflecting a lot," he said.
