SEOUL, May 13 (Yonhap) -- Television personality Lee Kyung-kyu has denied rumors surrounding his health after viewers raised concerns over his speech in a recent online video.

 

Lee's agency, ADG Company, said on Wednesday that "there is absolutely no problem with Lee Kyung-kyu's health."

 

Speculation emerged after Lee appeared to speak somewhat unclearly in a video uploaded May 7 on his YouTube channel "God Kyung-kyu."

 

The agency said Lee had recently participated in physically demanding shoots involving childcare and fishing-related content, adding that his condition was due to temporary fatigue.

 

"The rumors about health problems are groundless," the agency said.

 

Lee is scheduled to appear later Monday on KBS' live special program "Toward Victory! 2026 FIFA World Cup Countdown D-30."

 

Known as one of the entertainment industry's biggest soccer fans, Lee will also travel to Mexico to cheer for the South Korean team during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
