Comedian Lee Guk-joo confessed to being assaulted on a bus.

On the 10th, a video titled ‘Tokyo’s lucky day, no house keys, no kelp in raccoon dog?! Japan’s 30-level spiciness challenge! The reason why Lee Gook-joo couldn’t ride public transportation..’was uploaded to the YouTube channel’ Lee Gook-joo ‘.

In the video, Lee Gook-joo said, “Today, the taxi fare came to 100,000 won.Taxi fare is definitely very expensive in Japan.That’s why I really want to ride the subway.I want to ride it, but I’m not good at it,” and mentioned an anecdote where she said, “I’m afraid of the subway.When I was a freshman in college, I was riding a bus that passed Cheongnyangni in front of my house to go to school, and a woman bumped into my foot as the bus started moving.”


Lee Gook-joo revealed the assault, saying, “I remember that woman bumping into my foot.I’m not the type of person who would easily get shaken up.But I did bump into her, so I said, ‘It’s okay, ‘and tried to walk away, but then that woman suddenly put her hand(on my head)and said,’ You crazy X, ‘and slammed my head against the(bus)pillar.I was really beaten to a pulp on my way to school that morning.”

Lee Gook-ju also said, “A week later, I was riding the same bus back to my house, and when an old man got on, I gave him my seat.He suddenly put my bag right between his legs and kept talking to me.When I didn’ t answer, he took my bag and got off.I got off with him.After he got off, he said, ‘Thank you so much, but let’s go to a karaoke and sing.’ I was 20 years old at the time.I ran like crazy.After that, I was really scared of closed spaces and bumping into people I didn’t know.I gradually became distant from public transportation.”
