Turns out, a kimchi slap is every bit as painful as you’d imagine

Have you seen the famous kimchi slap video yet?

In the video,  actress Lee Hyo Choon slaps Won Ki Joon with a huge, whole cabbage poggi kimchi. One that had been left to ferment for three months, as Lee Hyo Choon was so keen to get the slap exactly perfect, as they only had one take to get it right.

Unfortunately for Won Ki Joon, one “kimchi slap” was enough to make him suffer for the rest of the day, as he states, “I got chili powder in my eyes, nose, ears. [As a result,] I got a severe headache later that night.”

Sounds painful. To watch the video again, click on the video below!
