[NEWS] Lee Hyori clears up old rumors about a late night rendezvous with singer Rain

Singer Lee Hyori cleared up the rumors that once surrounded her and World Star Rain.

On the March 8th episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Happy Together 3‘, MC Yoo Jae Suk asked Hyori about the most absurd rumors that spread about her.

“All of them were mostly true,” she admitted honestly. “Besides a few of them including a scandal with (Shin) Dong Yeob oppa, none of them were too shocking.”

“But the one about Rain was really ridiculous,” she added. “There was a rumor that said Rain didn’t know he was on a radio program hosted by singer Kim Tae Woo and admitted to spending the night with me.”

“Everyone knows that radio stations never unexpectedly connect a call,” she continued. “I was so taken aback by this.”

The radio scandal traces back to 2005, when Kim Tae Woo was hosting Kiss the Radio. As a joke, Kim Tae Woo called Rain without notifying him that he was live on the air. As they were conversing casually, the rumor stated that Rain excitedly blurted out, “Hyung! Hyori and I had se–”

At that moment, the radio was suddenly cut off and music was played.

Also on the 10th Anniversary special of this episode were Shin Dong Yeob, Tak Jae Hoon, Eugene, Ock Joo Hyun, Woo Hee Jin, and more.
