As you live... haha, it's fun. You've had experiences like this, right? People named Sang-min, Young-chul, Hyun-jung...
The shared message showed a sender addressing the recipient as "Director," questioning their appearance on "You Quiz." This indicates the sender believed they were messaging the director Lee Sang-min, who was a guest on the show, rather than the entertainer.
Lee Sang-min seemed amused by the mix-up, framing it as a common, albeit funny, occurrence in life. His post suggests that such instances of mistaken identity, while perhaps initially confusing, can lead to humorous anecdotes.
No, Director, why are you doing this to me? Director, you're appearing on You Quiz.
