Swings will guest on the March 9 episode of SBS’s new-concept scripted talk show "uh, but like, seriously!". In a mock audition for a co-ed group, he makes a strong first impression and even plays up a “Lee Su-ji lookalike” bit, serving standout chemistry with the cast.
On the show, Swings says he’s frustrated by the “azoospermia” label that followed his vasectomy reversal. He admits he had a vasectomy in his early 30s, but got a reversal a few years ago because he wanted kids. He then shares a hilarious ordeal: when he went to check the results, the clinic didn’t have a restroom, so he had to use a public bathroom. At one point he even jumps up to set the record straight, sending the studio into laughs.
Swings also reveals how he deals with hate comments. “I think hate comments are freedom of expression, so I don’t sue,” he says. “But I’ve personally blocked about 2,000 people,” he adds, cracking everyone up. He recalls commenting on close junior DIN DIN’s socials, only to get hit with “So what, pork cutlet?” from a fan―sparking a full-on keyboard battle. KAI reacts, “I’ve never seen anyone argue with a fan in the comments,” and the set erupts again.
With the film "Tazza 4" on the way, Swings drops a casting story for the first time: actor Byun Yo-han contacted him directly. After seeing a performance clip on Swings’ YouTube, Byun called and said, “Let’s meet tonight.” When Swings showed up, the director of "Tazza 4" was there. He says one final question he asked got him cast on the spot―leaving the set in shock. What did he say? The full moment will air on the show.
Episode 6 of "uh, but like, seriously!" featuring Swings airs Monday, March 9 at 10:30 p.m. on SBS.
