Lee Gi Kwang name AJ Controversy

The name "AJ", which is common not only in Korea but also overseas, has created disputes among netizens since many expressed their dissatisfaction over him having the same name as Paran's AJ. Cube Entertainment responded by saying that AJ’s name is different from that of Paran AJ’s for his (Cube's AJ) name is short for ‘Ace Junior’. The company later announced that he would continue activities under a different name, but no changes were made until it was revealed that AJ would no longer continue activities, as he will have been preparing to debut as a member of BEAST. Since the group's debut, he is known as Gi Kwang, or Kikwang

Lee Gi Kwang ideal is Victoria f(x)

BEAST's Lee Gi Kwang admittance to liking girl group f(x) has become a topic. In MBC's broadcast of "Sunday, Sunday Night - Enthusiastic Brothers" on the 1st, Lee Gi Kwang was asked by Park Myung Soo to reveal the name of his favorite member in a girl group during the the first round "Don't Get Mad" of the "Emotions" topic.

Lee Gi Kwang says, "I admire f(x)'s Victoria" and continued to compliment, "Even though she isn't my type, she's really pretty and she gives off a pure, fresh feeling and gave me a good impression."



Park Myung Soo asked him, "Do you know how tall Victoria is?" to joke about his height. Lee Gi Kwang, at 170 cm tall, yelled, "How would I know?!"

On the other hand, Lee Gi Kwang asked Simon Dominic for his height. Although Simon Dominic said he was 170.1 cm tall, Lee Gi Kwang still insists that he's taller than him.




Lee Gi Kwang height

Idol group BEAST’s Lee Kikwang received humiliation for being shorter in height than comedian Park Myungsoo.

Currently on MBC’s ‘Hot Brothers’ (Hot Bros for short) of Sunday Sunday Night, Lee Kikwang is one of the idols of all idols as he has the good looks, built muscles, and a smile that makes women melt. He;s also improving his variety skills fully through the program. However, Lee Kikwang’s weakness (in the article they say Achilles Tendon and I have no idea why) is his short height. They’ve always speculated Lee Kikwang’s height but the topic has never risen to the surface.



Airing on the 27th, Hot Bro’s ‘fake MT (stands for Membership Training but it’s basically like a camping trip)’ where Lee Kikwang’s height of being shorter than Park Myungsoo will be revealed. Park Myungsoo insisted on measuring Lee Kikwang’s height, furthering the humiliation. However, Lee Kikwang gets revenge in the splits he commands to do.

How tall actually is Lee Gi Kwang ? Many information on Gi Kwang profile stated that he stands on 174 cm, but I think Lee Gi Kwang is about 170 cm.

Singer and actor Lee Gikwang captured viewers' attention through revealing his luxurious figure on 'High Kick Through the Roof.'

On February 8th's broadcast of MBC 'High Kick Through the Roof,' Seho (Lee Gikwang) has been shown struggling to draw a manly appearance to charm Jungeum, who acknowleges him as a persistant, crazy man.

Seho first appeared before Jungeum in a suit in attempt to show a more adult demeanor. However, Jungeum rejects him with a nonchalant reply, causing lots of laughter. Going back to the vain effort to appear mature, Seho calls for the gym and shows a manly appearance through his muscles to attact Jungeum. But again, Jungeum responds with another cold remark.

Viewers who watched the broadcast commented with "Seho's cute face and contrasting body suprised me," "Jungeum's indifferent reaction was sad but thanks to that hot body, I was content," displaying hot reaction.

All this has caused the number of visits to his cyworld to skyrocket.
