Boy band South Club’s leader Nam Tae-Hyun appeared in his first-ever talk show with MBC Every1’s ‘Video Star!’
On June 19 broadcast of ‘Video Star,’ Nam Tae-Hyun shared with us an update on his life. During the show, the singer addressed the recent scandals with actress Son Dam-Bi, his relationship with YG CEO Yang Hyun-Suk, among other things.
First thing on the table, Nam Tae-Hyun revealed that he gained over 12kg in the gap between each promotion. In order to lose weight for a comeback, he usually only eats one meal a day.
Afterwards, he also addressed the recent rumors he had with actress Son Dam-Bi and Jung Ryeo-Won. Regarding Jug Ryeo-Won, Nam Tae-Hyun said, “we are just close friends. We bonded over art, when we met by chance at a mutual friend’s studio.”
For the picture with Son Dam-Bi that created a major scandal, Nam said “I probably would have thought we were dating if I saw the photo from a third person’s point of view.”
He continued, “she thinks of me as a comfortable friend. It’s because I feel more comfortable around women. She’s older than me, but we talk about a lot of things, including giving each other advice on romance.” In conclusion, he strictly denied their rumored relationship by saying “she’s not my type. I’m probably not her type, either.”
Afterwards, they called actress Son Dam-Bi to confirm. During the phone call, the actress jokingly said, “what makes you so special that you can deny me? You’re not my style, either.” Furthermore, Nam Tae-Hyun said Son Dam-Bi cut off most communication with him after the scandal broke out. He said, “I know we haven’t talked since the rumors broke out, and I understand why. I hope you give me a call from time to time in the near future.”
Nam Tae-Hyun also mentioned Yang Hyun-Suk, CEO of his former agency, YG Entertainment and said they still keep in touch. Nam said, “I’m always thankful for him because he allowed me to start music. Now that I’m a leader who has to lead a group, I understand Yang Hyun-Suk.” He concluded, “I will take the fact that I was YG born to my grave. I will try my best not to shame YG Entertainment.”
