Lee Kwang Soo apologizes to elementary school fan for her wrong answer on a test

Actor Lee Kwang Soo, well-known through SBS‘s ‘Running Man‘, recently apologized to an elementary school fan for the character he has become known for in the show.

On August 30th, Lee Kwang Soo tweeted, “I’m.. I’m sorry, student Kim Tae Yeon“, along with a hilarious picture of an elementary school fill-in-the-blank test.

On her test, the young elementary school student Kim Tae Yeon was supposed to write in the description of the animal movements (in Korean) when they move. She answered correctly for ‘turtle’ (slowly slowly), ‘rabbit’ (hop hop), and other animals. However, when it came to writing in the descriptive words for giraffes, she hilarious wrote, “betray betray”, basing her answer off of Lee Kwang Soo’s nickname of giraffe on the variety show as well as his well-known ‘Icon of Betrayal’ image.

Netizens responded, “Lee Kwang Soo, apologize!“, “That is so cute“, “This is hilarious“, and “You’re popular among elementary school students too“.

Lee Kwang Soo hangs up Kim Jong Kook’s ‘Running Man’ name tag on his wall

Lee Kwang Soo has brought laughter to many ’Running Man‘ fans with his one-of-a-kind display.

On August 7th, the cast member posted the photo above on his twitter along with the words, “My mom framed the name tag I ripped off Jong Kook hyung’s back ♡”

It turns out the actor’s mom had decided to commemorate her son’s achievement on the latest episode of ‘Running Man’ by framing Kim Jong Kook‘s name tag, and in turn, the actor had hung it up on the center of a wide wall, commanding the attention of all who pass by.

As many fans of the show are aware, each of the ‘Running Man’ members were assigned characters that fit each individual. Lee Kwang Soo was named the ‘giraffe’ whereas Kim Jong Kook is known as the ‘tiger’. Like their respective herbivorous and carnivorous characters, their relationship on the show reflects that of a predator and its prey.

However, on the most recent broadcast of the show, Lee Kwang Soo was given the heaven-sent opportunity to betray his fellow Red Team member Kim Jong Kook during a chaotic moment, which he took full advantage of as he ripped off the “tiger”s name tag and ran away shaking in fear while cheering in victory. In response to the situation, Kim Jong Kook stated, “Next week I’ll rip your name off in a way that the situation has to be blurred out on television,” drawing the laughter of everyone.

The June 17th broadcast of ‘Running Man’ held a ‘King’s Race’ with actors Lim Ho and Lee Tae Gon as guests. The crew split up into three teams and made their way throughout Seoul to complete nine missions.
