Celebrities sometimes drop the most hilarious bombshells on variety shows<\/a>. If you’ve watched the recent episode of MangoTV’s\u00a0Workplace Newcomers: Season of Traditional Chinese Medicine, you’d know what we’re talking about.<\/p>\n

In a clip of the Chinese reality show that has since gone viral,\u00a0Korean-American actor Li Cheng Xuan (also known as Lee Seung Hyun) got pretty candid with a\u00a0TCM\u00a0physician about his, um, personal needs.<\/p>\n

“Which body system controls sexual activity?” the 41-year-old Call Me By Fire<\/a> star candidly asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The answer? The kidney. The actor then clearly had a follow-up question but was seemingly embarrassed to ask.<\/p>\n

He only boldly asked his question after the physician encouraged him that “there’s nothing to be shy about in a medical discussion”.<\/p>\n

“If your [sex drive] is very strong, how do you reduce it?” Cheng Xuan finally asked.<\/p>\n

Cheng Xuan married Chinese actress Stephy Qi in 2014 and they have two kids \u2014 a 10-year-old daughter, Lucky, and a three-year-old son,\u00a0Seven.<\/p>\n

Netizens were tickled by how earnest he looked while trying to get an answer, and many teased the actor for “treating the physician like he’s family” with such a personal inquiry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It begs the question: Just how badly does Cheng Xuan need to know the answer? Or was he just, you know, asking for a friend?<\/p>\n

In case you’re wondering, the TCM physician’s answer to his query was to “replenish the body\u2019s yin energy” by eating things like sea cucumber, or a herb called Dendrobium.<\/p>\n

Netizens did not hesitate to interrogate Stephy about her husband’s questions during her recent Douyin live stream.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One even openly asked in the comments: “Has Brother [Cheng] Xuan seen a doctor yet?”<\/p>\n

The ever-so-frank actress also did not shy away.<\/p>\n

“Yes, he did, he did,” the 41-year-old said nonchalantly, only for Cheng Xuan to interject: “I did not see [a doctor].”<\/p>\n

Though the couple did not confirm at the end if Cheng Xuan did see a doctor or not, Stephy went on to defend her husband for his shocking libido-centric question.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The thing about couples having sex, I think it is something [people] should be talking about. Everyone avoids discussing this topic, I don’t know why,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s a very healthy question that can be explored openly. I don’t understand why nobody dares to voice and touch on this subject matter.”<\/p>\n

We’re not surprised by how comfortable Stephy is with chatting about sex, especially since this isn’t the first time the couple has brought it up on a variety show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Previously on Chinese reality series Viva La Romance 2025, Stephy also revealed that she “dresses very conservatively at home” to keep her husband at bay.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m afraid he might get some bad ideas,” she quipped at that time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She once also divulged on her blog that Seven was conceived because her husband couldn\u2019t resist himself on the last day of her period.<\/p>\n

The actress even used that story to remind all women that there\u2019s really no such thing as a completely \u201csafe period”.<\/p>\n

But come on, it’s the 21st century, is sex even still a taboo topic?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Celebrities sometimes drop the most hilarious bombshells on variety shows.
