Kim Sang-hyuk Responds Wittily to 'Alcohol Gift' After DUI Controversy

Singer Kim Sang-hyuk showcased his sharp wit on a variety show appearance, following a lengthy period of self-reflection after past controversies.

On the 17th, a video was released on the YouTube channel 'Jang Su-won Wants' featuring the first birthday party of Jang Su-won's daughter. Comedian Kang Jae-joon hosted the event, creating a lively atmosphere.

When a request was made for someone to sing a birthday song, Jang Su-won recommended Kim Sang-hyuk. Despite being unprepared, Kim Sang-hyuk introduced himself as a member of Click-B and passionately sang the congratulatory song.

As Kim Sang-hyuk was about to leave the stage after his performance, Kang Jae-joon picked him to receive a gift. To everyone's surprise, the gift turned out to be a bottle of high-end whiskey. Kim Sang-hyuk, though initially taken aback, humorously replied, "Yes, thank you. I will definitely 'proxy receive' it," eliciting laughter from the audience.

Kim Sang-hyuk debuted in 1999 as a member of the group Click-B and gained popularity for his quirky charm on entertainment shows. However, he faced significant backlash after a DUI incident in 2005 and subsequently took a long break for self-reflection.

Following the 2005 drunk driving controversy, Kim Sang-hyuk halted his entertainment activities and underwent a prolonged period of self-reflection. Since his comeback, he has been diligently rebuilding a positive image by presenting himself as honest and humorous on broadcasts. Recently, he has been expanding his presence by consistently engaging with fans through his YouTube channel.
