Heo Sung-tae raised suspicions about casting kickbacks toward Lee Si-eon.
On the 30th, a video titled “Thank you for making a special appearance in the drama by Kian84 & Heo Sung-tae (+Jun Hyun-moo). Inviting me to your house and having a drinking talk” was posted on the YouTube channel ‘ Si-eon’s Cool’
. In the revealed video, Kian84 and actor Heo Sung-tae appeared as guests and showed off their cheerful banter.
On that day, Lee Si-eon expressed his gratitude to Heo Sung-tae for making a special appearance in the drama ‘Player 2’, saying, “Thank you, hyung.”
In response, Heo Sung-tae said, “Actually, I have some suspicions. Lee Si-eon did all the (special appearance) casting for ‘Player 2’. Me too. I think he received bribes. Things like casting kickbacks.”
Lee Si-eon personally recruited special appearance members for the drama ‘Player 2’, including UFC fighters Choi Doo-ho, Kian84, and Heo Sung-tae.
Lee Si-eon said, “But hyung, if I received it, there would be no reason not to say it,” and expressed his grievance, and Heo Sung-tae said, “I’m joking.”
Lee Si-eon stated, “But people asked, ‘Why didn’t you thank Hyun-moo hyung (who made a special appearance) on Instagram?’ I didn’t cast Hyun-moo hyung.”
In response, Kian84 said, “Even if you didn’t cast him, you should have thanked him if he appeared. He even sent me a long video letter saying that we reached 100,000,” making everyone laugh.
Lee Si-eon said, “I’m actually so grateful to everyone. Casting special appearances has become a competition as it goes on. It’s like who brings who and stuff,” and expressed his grievances about casting special appearances.
