In the most recent episode of Knowing Bros, actress Chae Soo Bin and SHINee‘s Minho appeared as the cast of Netflix’s Okay-Drama The Fabulous and defined that their characters are two exes turned pals.
Upon listening to the difficult background of the connection between the Okay-Drama leads, present hosts Lee Soo Geun doubted that exes can stay pals, whereas Lee Sang Min added, “It’s only possible in K-Dramas.”
Kang Ho Dong requested his fellow present hosts if friendships can emerge from previous relationships—to which Chae Soo Bin answered, “No.”
I don’t suppose it’s potential. For the connection to proceed after it has come to an finish, I feel it means one of many two folks concerned nonetheless has emotions left. It’s the identical for our characters within the present. One of us nonetheless has emotions.
— Chae Soo Bin
When it grew to become Heechul‘s turn to answer, the Super Junior member tried to skip the question, insisting that Seo Jang Hoon‘s answer would be more interesting given Kim’s previous. Then, Lee Soo Geun playfully snapped at Heechul—complaining {that a} sure “group” can not seem on Knowing Bros due to Heechul.
Heechul: I’m not the principle character of that Okay-Drama right here. I’m like a facet character, in comparison with [Seo Jang Hoon].
Lee Soo Geun: But you’re the rationale that group can’t come again to our present.
Lee Soo Geun: You don’t know how a lot we miss them!
Lee Soo Geun: Come on, man! We miss them a lot!
Kang Ho Dong: What?!
Lee Soo Geun: WHAT!!!
Though no names had been named, viewers may simply inform Lee Soo Geun was hinting at Heechul’s earlier relationship with TWICE‘s Momo having ended. Comedian Lee Jin Ho added, “There could be other [girl group members who can’t seem on the present]” as a result of the connection was by no means made public.
While Heechul laughed the scenario off, viewers flooded to on-line communities to debate whether or not the entire dialog had been problematic or not.

- “Cheap laughs, really.”
