FTISLAND’s Lee Hongki Delivers Chaos and Comedy on ‘My Little Old Boy’

FTISLAND vocalist Lee Hongki has officially joined the cast of SBS’s reality sensation My Little Old Boy, and his first appearance is already creating buzz. In the episode airing on May 11th, Lee Hongki’s unpredictable lifestyle and never-before-seen home will be revealed, promising viewers a rollercoaster of surprise and laughter.

The shocking debut began with his mother stepping into the studio as the latest addition to the show’s famous ‘Mom Avengers’ panel. Reacting warmly, Heechul’s mom exclaimed, “Hongki is my son Heechul’s best friend!” But things took a comedic turn when co-host Seo Jang-hoon asked how she would rate her son. Her reply? A brutally honest, “My son is a 40 out of 100.” The studio erupted in laughter and disbelief—this might be the lowest rating ever seen on the show.

Curiosity peaked as viewers got their first-ever tour of Lee Hongki’s daily life and private residence. The sight was nothing short of chaotic: clothes scattered everywhere, a house in disarray, and an energy that screamed ‘unfiltered lifestyle.’ His mother looked visibly stunned from the get-go, struggling to hide her embarrassment. Even Seo Jang-hoon blurted out, “This is on another level!”

Hongki’s personal quirks didn’t stop there. From the moment he got out of bed, he moved freely through the space in a way that had the crew saying, “It’s like he’s living by pure stream of consciousness.” The real jaw-dropper? A mysterious oversized object next to his bedroom bed that left everyone in the studio shocked. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” was the general consensus.

As more of his chaotic world unfolded, even Heechul’s mom couldn’t stay silent, joking, “He’s even more of a wild card than Heechul!” The comedy peaked when Hongki’s closet was revealed to be in near jungle conditions. Exasperated, his mother sighed deeply as host Shin Dong-yup quipped, “Only Hongki’s mom has lost her smile today,” sparking even more laughter.

Later, Lee Hongki was seen digging through his monumental clothing heap before heading out late at night, roaming the city without a care. The question now is: What exactly is Hongki up to?
