The heartbreaking story of why Lee Kyung-kyu has no choice but to frequently walk on one leg is revealed.

On the SBS show ‘Lee Kyung-kyu‘s Amazing Habits’, which will air on the 5th, we will look into degenerative arthritis, which becomes more painful in the cold.

Since it is a broadcast welcoming the new year of the year of Eulsa, Lee Kyung-kyu energetically started the recording with a greeting befitting a health program MC, saying, “Let’s make this a healthy year.” Here, announcer Lee Yoon-ah bows and says, “Happy New Year,” and asks for New Year’s money, but Lee Kyung-kyu firmly refuses, saying, “The era of giving out New Year’s money is over.”

Lee Kyung-kyu then suddenly starts saying, “I envy people who go around giving New Year’s money these days,” and when I asked him why, he said, “I envy their joints that snap when they bow.”

The specialists who participated in the recording advised caution as the age of onset of arthritis is getting younger. Lee Yoon-ah, who is in her 40s, confessed that she thinks she feels pain because of a cyst that was discovered during a knee examination not long ago. Then, Lee Kyung-kyu slyly encouraged Lee Yoon-ah to resign, saying, “That‘s why I’m telling you to resign!”

Meanwhile, when the doctor said that standing with one leg crossed is bad for the knee joints, Lee Kyung-kyu, who usually stands with one leg crossed, said, “It‘s for form!” Rather than standing up straight, he said, “It looks like you should stand with your legs crossed slightly and look crooked, saying, ‘Hey PD Kim~’” and even demonstrated how to actually cross your legs.

However, contrary to Lee Kyung-kyu’s statement that he crossed his legs because it was ‘it looks cool’, the specialist stated that when the quadriceps femoris that support the thighs weakens due to aging, one ends up crossing his legs more and more often without realizing it, and Lee Kyung-kyu couldn‘t help but feel sorry.

Also, on that day’s broadcast, Lee Yoon-ah‘s mother visited the hospital with her daughter, saying that she was concerned about her increasingly bowed legs, and was diagnosed with the early stages of arthritis. Lee Kyung-kyu once again urged Lee Yoon-ah to quit her job, saying, “Quit quickly and take care of your mother,”, causing laughter.

Lee Kyung-kyu, who has taken over the entertainment industry and now even health programs, will be active again on SBS on Sunday the 5th at 8:35 AM. You can check it out in ‘Lee Kyung-kyu’s Amazing Habits’.
