1. [+228, -7] Kwanghee doesn't seem to know that you can't meet a celebrity like Kusanagi Tsuyoshi unless you are a top star on a popular Japanese program. He looked so stupid screaming and raising his voice in front of him, I really wondered why he was behaving like that while watching the episode. Today's Knee-Drop Guru was a disappointment. If our celebrity had received this kind of treatment on a Japanese show, I would've been pissed.

2. [+225, -8] Knee-Drop Guru is seriously turning into a trashy program. I used to love this show better than Healing Camp but today's episode was inexcusable. Because the episode was to feature a special guest, because it was Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, I expected to hear him talk about his childhood, how he came to love Korea, what his thoughts are on improving Korean/Japanese relationships... Instead it ended up being a Cha Seung Won show to promote his new play. This pisses me off... How can think they of inviting a guest like him and treating him like this? Knee-Drop Guru is losing it...

3. [+172, -7] Although a Japanese top star wasn't able to receive the proper treatment in Korea, the fact that he said he was still glad shows what an amazing person he is inside and out ^^

4. [+69, -1] In Japan, he's on the level of Yoo Jae Suk so how in the world could they think of treating him like this... He's such a special guest, one of the very few celebrities who genuinely love our country.. Did they think it was okay to treat him like a joke just because he laughed a few times?? How can they say they're hungry when he's finally being asked some questions?? If I were him, I'd hate Korea if they kept treating me like this. Imagine if Jang Dong Gun or another Korean celebrity of similar stature was treated like this in Japan, our netizens would be up in arms with anger... Kang Ho Dong's really over now, isn't he, especially with Moonlight Prince

5. [+60, -3] I was really looking forward to his guesting on this episode because I know how much he loves Korea, to the point where he'll often feature Korean cuisine on Suma Suma Bistro... The attitudes of the three MCs were so disrespectful and rude, how is it that an extra was given more spotlight than the actual guest? Why did they subject him to hours of filming if this was what they were going to do?

6. [+56, -1] He is one of the few celebrities who claims outright that Dokdo belongs to Korea and apologized on behalf of Japan to our comfort women. He's a true top star, the best!!!

7. [+49, -1] Everyone already knows how much he loves Korea.. I remember he looked deep in deliberation when he was asked who he wanted to win in the world cup, Korea or Japan, on a Japanese talk show... How could they treat him like this? I just can't understand and it makes swears come out of my mouth... Please, guest on another show for us ㅠㅠㅠ We want to hear so much more from you... Knee-Drop Guru basically proved themselves to be trash today.

8. [+49, -1] Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, thank you and sorry. Please know that our netizens love you this much to the point where we were all gravely disappointed with today's episode.

9. [+47, -1] Today's episode made me question Kang Ho Dong's worth as an MC. Yoo Se Yoon and Kwanghee showed no respect for the guest and looked as if they were simply fooling around him... Deeply upsetting. Cha Seung Won guesting on the show was fine but if he wasn't the main guest, couldn't they have cut out parts of his segments? Did they really invite Tsuyoshi to feature him for such a short amount?

10. [+42, -2] I made sure to catch the episode after hearing Tsuyoshi would be the guest and the three MCs truly were just trash. I wanted to learn more about the man...
