The 60-year-old crooner was at a news conference to deny rumour that his private part was cut off by a Yakuza (Japanese gangster), whom the media reported to be unhappy with Hoon-a for having a relationship with his mistress.

Hoon-a stunned the audiences when he jumped on the table and began lowering his pants, revealing his underwear (partially) before the live TV broadcast was cut. Later reports (video below) showed that he decided to pull his pants back up instead of revealing anything further.

The ‘castration’ rumour was spreading like wildfire online last week, that Hoon-a was in relationship with a Korean actress with ‘Kim’ as surname, who is actually a mistress of a Yakuza boss in Korea… thus resulting in the gangster’s revenge on the singer.

Hoon-a was not the only person affected by this saga; actress Kim Hye-soo, who was alleged to be the rumoured mistress, has to publicly deny the rumour as well.

The 6th Korean Film Awards was held last Saturday (Dec 1) in Seoul. “Secret Sunshine” (밀양; Milyang) was the biggest winner of the night, bagging the best movie, best director (Lee Chang-dong), best actor (Song Kang-ho) and best actress (Jeon Do-yeon) awards.
