Lee Soo Hyuk recently made headlines after gifting comedian Park Na Rae an exclusive limited-edition tequila, personally curated by G-Dragon.
The moment unfolded on the popular YouTube show Nareasik, where Lee Soo Hyuk and Arin appeared as special guests to promote their new Wavve original series, S Line.
During the episode, Lee Soo Hyuk presented Park Na Rae with a sleek, limited-edition bottle of tequila. “I was going to bring something else, but then I remembered this,” he explained. “G-Dragon sent it to me. It hasn’t even hit the market yet.”
Park Na Rae immediately recognized its value, marveling, “The color looks like something from a luxury brand. This must be expensive, right?” When a producer chimed in, “Didn’t we already have this at your place?” Lee Soo Hyuk looked shocked. “You’ve already tried it?” he asked in disbelief.
Park Na Rae laughed, admitting, “I have my sources in the industry, I managed to try it already. It was so good.”
Lee Soo Hyuk responded, clearly surprised, “I thought it wasn’t even out yet, but apparently it’s already out there.”
When Park Na Rae hinted she might’ve received a bottle unofficially, Lee joked, “I actually brought an extra one for you… Mind if I take this one back instead?” He playfully reached for the bottle, prompting Park to clutch it protectively, teasing, “Too late, everyone here already got their hands on it!”
Later in the episode, the two opened the bottle to enjoy with a dessert Lee Soo Hyuk had brought. Taking a closer look, Park Na Rae corrected herself: “I think the one I had before was the original version, this color is definitely new to me.”
Lee Soo Hyuk then shared a surprising twist on how to enjoy tequila: “Most people pair it with salt and lemon, right? But when I was in Paris with Ji Yong (G-Dragon), we met another celebrity we both admire. They served it with orange slices and cinnamon powder. It sounded weird at first, but it was actually really good.”
Curious, Park Na Rae tried the pairing, and was instantly wowed. “I’ve never tasted anything like this,” she said. “This is, hands down, the best pairing I’ve had in the past two years. Not only is it delicious, it’s mind-blowing.”
Completely sold, she joked, “Would it be okay if I pretend this was my idea on another show?”, drawing laughs from everyone on set.
