Lee Yi-kyung Filming with Sinusitis on How Do You Play?

On the June 7 episode of MBC's How Do You Play? (놀면 뭐하니?), Lee Yi-kyung continued filming despite suffering from sinusitis. The episode featured the members selling outfits purchased during a previous fashion competition.

During a segment, Lee Yi-kyung was seen coughing frequently while on the move, prompting fellow cast member Haha to comment, "That sounds like a real sick person's cough." Lee Yi-kyung then revealed, "I have sinusitis."

Yoo Jae-suk responded, "You seem to get sick every week..." while Joo Woo-jae expressed concern, saying, "You really seem to get sick often." However, Lee Yi-kyung remarked, "I don't like how you said that, Woo-jae," to which Joo Woo-jae, known for his frail health, insisted, "I'm not sick!"

Yoo Jae-suk added, "Woo-jae just has a chronic condition," and Joo Woo-jae clarified, "I just have indigestion, I'm not sick." Lee Yi-kyung confidently stated, "Woo-jae must definitely have diabetes," leading Joo Woo-jae to retort, "Isn't that a curse? I look like I eat a lot, but I only eat as much as a bird!"

Lee Yi-kyung then asked if Joo Woo-jae had undergone a health check-up, to which Yoo Jae-suk advised, "If he says he's fine, why worry?" Joo Woo-jae boasted, "I'm definitely healthier than you," prompting Yoo Jae-suk to caution him not to provoke Lee Yi-kyung. Joo Woo-jae replied, "He brings his weekly sickness with him," and Yoo Jae-suk agreed, saying, "He really is sick a lot."

Lee Yi-kyung humorously remarked, "It's because I live life to the fullest. It's like a badge of honor," to which Joo Woo-jae countered, "I live hard too!" Lee Yi-kyung then joked, "Have you even prescribed me any medicine?"

Later in the episode, guest Ji Suk-jin pointed out Joo Woo-jae's pale complexion, asking, "Why do you look so ghostly?" Joo Woo-jae explained, "I have a lot going on today," and Ji Suk-jin quipped, "There's an old saying that you look like a skull. You look good on screen, did you do skull makeup?"

Yoo Jae-suk, surprised by the comment, responded, "What do you mean by skull makeup?" Joo Woo-jae then pointed to Lee Yi-kyung, saying, "The one who's actually sick is him, he has sinusitis." Ji Suk-jin asked, "That’s not contagious, right?" and Lee Yi-kyung clarified, "It's just inflammation in my sinuses." Ji Suk-jin apologized, saying, "I didn't mean to offend," while Lee Yi-kyung humorously expressed his disappointment, saying, "I'm right next to you, and you ask if it's contagious?"
