Singer, actor, and MC Lee Seung Gi has been selected as one of the top five best looking males in the industry.
The theme of the most recent episode of KBS2TV‘s ‘Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook‘ was ‘[I]Handsome Men‘, and they hand picked the top five most handsome guests in the history of the show.
“There have been many guests on my show who are thought to be extremely handsome, and I asked four KBS staff members to pick the top five guests,” MC Yoo Hee Yeol explained.
He introduced Lee Seung Gi who came in at fifth place saying, “A handsome man who never comes up short“, and they played a short clip of the singer’s encore performance on a past November episode.
Singer Lee Juk surprisingly came in at #4 and after he saw the episode, he jokingly remarked, “Are you really going to run the program like this? I apologize to Lee Seung Gi, for a number of different things.”
Meanwhile, hip hop duo Leessang hilariously came in at #3. Kim Bum Soo was selected as #2 and the top spot belonged to none other than MC Yoo Hee Yeol himself.
