Kim Hee-chul says Seo Jang-hoon goes home for restroom breaks

Kim Hee-chul discussed Seo Jang-hoon's restroom habits on SBS's entertainment program My Little Old Boy. The July 12 broadcast of Episode 503 showed Kim, Im Won-hee and Seo Nam-yong visiting Brian's mansion in the 300-pyeong range.

During the visit, Kim asked Brian, 'I am curious. When you go out, do you not use restrooms?' Brian answered that he does use restrooms outside, but added, 'When I have to use it for a bowel movement, I cover the toilet with a lot of tissue first.'

Kim then said that when he meets Seo Jang-hoon outside, Seo goes home if he gets stomach pain and wants to use the restroom even while eating. Seo, who watched the video in the studio, looked embarrassed.

When Brian asked whether the signal could come suddenly and quickly, Kim replied, 'Even then, Jang-hoon goes home no matter what.' Kim said he also tries not to use restrooms outside when possible.

Kim added, 'People usually look for a good restaurant, but I always go to a place with a clean restroom.' When Seo Nam-yong asked whether he would choose a restaurant known for food but with a dirty restroom or a place without good food but with a clean restroom, Kim said he had considered the question before and ended up choosing the clean restroom.

JTBC said in April that Kim would take a temporary break from Knowing Bros for health reasons. After concern from acquaintances and fans followed, Kim wrote on social media that he was taking time away because he should not show viewers signs of being exhausted, tired or dazed, describing it as 'temporarily filling blood in the well.'

Kim also wrote that Knowing Bros records every Thursday and that, when he has overseas schedules, the production team and cast members show him considerable consideration. Kim said he was resting because he could not keep receiving those accommodations or attend irregularly, while every-other-week programs can be adjusted and would continue.
