In the interview Kim Hee-won explained the source of his distinctive lip scar. According to Kim Hee-won, the scar was sustained from a fight with a friend back in elementary school. Additionally, Kim Hee-won had told this story before. Actor Sung Dong-il asked him about the scar on a variety show awhile back and he gave the same answer.
Apparently the childhood friend himself saw this appearance, and reached out to Kim Hee-won to talk about the matter. Over the course of the conversation they realized that they lived in the same apartment building. Kim Hee-won also said that while the injury used to bother him as a child it no longer does.
Kim Hee-won also said that he has no tolerance for alcohol. This was due to a bad experience the actor had when he was younger. Kim Hee-won said that even as the other actors drank together at post-shooting dinners, he would only drink cola and water.
