Brian from the ballad group Fly to the Sky (real name: Joo Min-gyu, 42) and former TVXQ member Kim Jaejoong (37) connected over a shared topic: the significance of scent.
Known for his strict hygiene standards, Brian once asked Kim Jaejoong, "Have you ever encountered a memorable scent during your celebrity activities?" Laughing, Brian confessed, "Yes, quite a few times."
Brian recalled a past experience: "During the filming of 'Infinite Challenge,' I was the first to drop out. I was seated next to Jaeseok-hyung, and his foot odor was quite strong back then." He added, "I once jokingly said, 'Let's not invite Jaeseok-hyung over; his feet smell too much.'"
When Kim Jaejoong wondered if any female celebrities had a distinctive scent, Brian remarked, "Thankfully, most of our female celebrities in Korea always smelled pleasant."
Kim Jaejoong then mentioned, "Female celebrities might smell good due to perfumes, but sometimes, they can have bad breath." Brian empathetically responded, "I've been in situations where I've had to whisper to someone on a panel. It's challenging when you're unsure how to address such matters."
Both Brian and Kim Jaejoong admitted to being sensitive about bad breath. Brian joked, "It's a normal concern! I wonder what viewers are commenting?"
Brian also shared a humorous anecdote: "During music broadcast rehearsals, I've noticed that those with noticeable odors often have louder voices."
Listening intently, Kim Jaejoong expressed his concerns, and Brian cheekily suggested a solution: "Then, there's only one solution. Take out a mint candy and ask, 'Would you like one?' That's the only way."
-This is truly rude.
-It's not proper etiquette to speak ill of someone behind their back.
-This is just too rude. No one is perfect.
-Bad breath is common, especially if one hasn't brushed their teeth on an empty stomach. Even just drinking coffee without much water or skipping meals can cause it.
-This is rude. Are they suggesting they are perfect without any flaws?
-It's rude. Aren't they human too? What if they have a smell?
-Is that supposed to be funny? It's really rude.
-But sometimes the smell is due to health issues or environmental factors even if you wash well... It seems rude.
-Bad breath can also be caused by health problems even if you brush well..ㅋ
-This isn't even funny; why did they do that?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Both were entertaining lately, but they shouldn't cross the line... I thought they were smarter.
-Talking about this on a broadcast? Really rude.
-Let's not cross the line; your time to be criticized will come.
