Comedian Lee Kyeong-shil has been reported to the police for making sexual remarks about actor Lee Je-hoon during a radio program last Friday.

During her appearance as a special presenter on the SBS Power FM radio program "Cultwo Show," Lee Kyeong-shil made comments about actor Lee Je-hoon's topless body, as seen in the new drama series "Taxi Driver 2."

"Do you see his chest cleavage? If you drip water down that cleavage and drink it, then that's medicine, sacred water," she had said.

The presenter of the radio show, Kim Tae-gyun, jokingly answered, "Go ahead and give it a try. Are you going to drip water on your TV?"

Following the show, a student from Yonsei University reported the comedian, citing Obscene Acts by Using Means of Communication under the Punishment of Sexual Crimes last Sunday, according to local press.

SBS removed the controversial remarks from the episode on YouTube and its official website.

The comedian has not made any official statements regarding the matter so far.
