Henry also reveals he cried because of 'Real Men'

Henry appeared on Super Junior's KBS radio program 'Kiss The Radio' on February 17 and talked about his appearance on the MBC variety program, 'Real Men.'  It had already been revealed multiple times that Henry had absolutely no idea what the show was about and how real it would be, but now he revealed that he had been clueless to the point that he cried.

Henry said on the radio show, "After the 'Real Men' broadcast, everyone I knew contacted me. They all told me it was funny, but I had no idea what was funny about it."

It was his first time experiencing something like this.  Henry said, "There is something I want to say to everybody.  It is 100% real.  I thought it would be a program that we filmed for a few hours and then finished, but as soon as the filming started, the production team just went away."

DJ Ryeowook said, "There was a rumor you cried," to which Henry replied, "That's true.  I cried.  This is because I thought 'Real Men' was an ordinary variety program," meaning he thought it would be filmed on a set.
