The photo showed text messages exchanged between Hong Jinkyung and her daughter. Hong Jinkyung asked, "Rael-ah, where are you? It's not time for dinner right now. Why couldn't you be reached the whole day? Since yesterday! South Korea has been in an uproar since yesterday because of your photos!" It also showed that Hong Jinkyung tried to call Rael, but the call did not go through.

Hong Jinkyung then asked, "You saw the articles about you, right? There were so many articles!" Rael replied, "I saw them... I'm sorry..." before adding, "But Mom, your post is a more serious problem for me right now," drawing laughter.

Hong Jinkyung scolded her, "Hey!!! Your whole life is fake right now!!" Rael responded humorously, saying, "Mom, let's just go on that show together. 'Fake Life.' Tell them to make a special episode for Hong Jinkyung and her daughter," and then added, "I have to protect my mental health like this. As a human victory," showing her witty side sho got from her mother.

Regarding this, Hong Jinkyung replied, "Don't ever do that again, seriously. Everyone was shocked. A student wearing such sexy makeup... They thought you got plastic surgery! Don't ever do that again. Seriously. Just accept your bare face. You have to live as yourself!" Rael quickly apologized, saying, "Yes. I'm sorry."

However, Hong Jinkyung's scolding still continued, "So what if you have a slightly square jaw? So what if you have chubby cheeks? That's what makes you Kim Rael." Rael joked again, "Still, please show a little respect to the many Meitu users in this world. Meitu is really that good. It even removed your blemishes last time, Mom," drawing laughter.

Along with this, Hong Jinkyung emphasized, "I'm posting this with Rael's permission... And for the record, this is not Meitu ads," clarifying that it was not a paid promotion for the editing app.

Previously, Rael had drawn attention with a noticeably different visual, sparking rumors of plastic surgery. In response, Hong Jinkyung clarified by revealing unedited recent photos of Rael, explaining that the misunderstanding was caused by too much editing.

In the 8th episode of 'Single's Inferno 5' released on February 3, Song Seungil offered advice to Choi Mina Sue as she opened up about her concerns, saying, "I'm already busy enough pouring my energy into the person I like. Do I have to care for someone just because they're coming straight at me? That's probably how I'd feel." However, during the conversation, Choi Mina Sue joked, "Don't tell me what to do. I'll handle it myself." Hearing this, Song Seungil expressed stress and walked away.

Watching this, Lee Dahee commented, "It feels refreshing that Seungil expressed a little bit of what I wanted to say." Dex added, "Honestly, even we MCs have limits on what we can say. Since the person involved said it directly, it feels relieving for viewers, including us."

Hong Jinkyung shared, "Actually, we sometimes get called in by the production team during breaks. If they tell us, 'Your comments were a bit too harsh,' we get educated and then come back to speak more gently. Seungil played a big role there."

The panelists have acted as a 'voice for the viewers' by directly expressing what viewers might feel about the contestants' selfish attitudes or unexpected behavior. In particular, they made sharp remarks and cold advice towards Choi Mina Sure, like, "We can't defend her," "It's painful to watch," "Tone it down," and "When you're having a mental breakdown, you should know how to stay quiet."

Later, in the 9th episode, after Choi Mina Sue broke into tears after an emotional fight with Kim Minji over Song Seungil, Hong Jinkyung showed regret. She said, "I wonder how angry she must be because of us MCs. We talked about her a lot. I'm sorry Mina Sue," expressing her apology.

Meanwhile, Choi Mina Sue became a key figure this season after stirring conflict from early on by moving between 4 male contestants. Viewers are showing mixed opinions about her tendency to act solely on her immediate emotions.

Choi Mina Sue was the runner up for Miss Korea in 2021. In 2022, she became the first Korean to win 'Miss Earth,' one of the world's four major beauty pageants. She is reportedly currently studying at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the United Stats.

Choi Mina Sure previously appeared on the show 'Battle for Tenancy: Penthouse.' She has also pursued acting by starring in dramas such as 'Law and the City' and 'DNA Lover.'

I'm sorry for causing this controversy with my mistake. The words I said just to be funny seems to have hurt you, I'm reflecting a lot because of it." He added, "I'm okay with being criticized, but I never want your feelings to be hurt. I sincerely apologize once again."

Hong Jinkyung replied to his text by saying, "Gwanhee-ya, you called yesterday and now you sent me another text today." She said, "Stop apologizing already. I also unintentionally make many mistakes when I'm on TV. It's okay." She added, "Just hurry up and come on 'Jin Genius' to teach me play basketball. No more apologies. Have a good day," inviting him to appear on her Youtube channel.

Previously, Lee Gwanhee posted a video of his reactions to Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 5' on his Youtube channel. Lee Gwanhee previously starred on 'Single's Inferno 3.' In the video, he said, "I don't think Jinkyung Noona knows much about dating," and asked Yoon Habin, who was. also on Season 3, "It pisses me off when she's giving dating advices there. What do you think?" Yoon Habin replied, "Isn't she married and has a child?" but Lee Gwanhee snapped back, "Does being married make her better than me? I'm going to get married too."

He went on to say, "I approve Hanhae, Dex, and Lee Dahee, but I honestly really don't understand Hong Jinkyung," adding, "I don't think she's better at dating than me. I don't think we get along."

When these remarks became known, netizens in online communities criticized him, calling him 'rude.' Eventually, Lee Gwanhee set the video in question to private.

-Just looking at Hong Jinkyung makes me burst out laughingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I thought there was something on Hong Jinkyung's head, but it was actually GD's stage outfitㅋㅋㅋ

-I watched the preview today, and GD was laughing for 30 minutes straight. He must really like Hong Jinkyungㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah... Hong Jinkyung is wearing. GD's MAMA outfit? I'm going to lose it if I see her dance in itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I was hoping to see the DAY6 members for a bit, but they weren't featured in this previewㅜㅜ I'm so curious.

Hong Jinkyung Reveals, "A Bigbang Member Kept Getting Upset When Asked About Girlfriend, I Had to Apologize"

 

During her time as a DJ on KBS Cool FM's 'Hong Jinkyung's Gayo Plaza', Hong Jinkyung reminisced about meeting Big Bang in the past. She revealed, "Back then, when I asked if any of them had a girlfriend, one member responded with 'Aish' and got really annoyed."

She continued, "I felt so sorry and apologized many times for making them uncomfortable," adding, "But I sensed that 'that person has a girlfriend'." She humorously remarked, "While those without girlfriends remained calm, there was someone who kept getting upset alone."

To this, Daesung chimed in, saying, "Even if there wasn't one, there was no need to get annoyed," acknowledging the situation.

During their meal, Daesung served food to Hong Jinkyung. Seeing this, the producer joked, "'Gayo Plaza' must have been tough for you..." Hong Jinkyung responded, "I asked the wrong question. Who asks idols such questions?"

Daesung then defended her, saying, "At that time, idol culture was somewhat mysterious," and added, "But if he didn't have a girlfriend, it wouldn't have been a big deal."

theqoo

-I know they must have received a lot of questions that might stir up controversy, but to say 'Aish' right in front of a senior is not acceptable;;

-Who is itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Jinkyung unnie must have been flustered, I can see it in her eyes.

-It wouldn't be Taeyang, and it wouldn't be Daesung as well, considering that Jinkyung was talking about that member in front of him...ㅋ

-It doesn't seem like Taeyang... and GD wouldn't be like that either... judging by the fact that Hong Jinkyung was talking to Daesung, it probably wasn't Daesung.....^^

-Seems like that member got really annoyed, considering the fact that Hong Jinkyung had to apologize to him

-These replies are hilarious, only left with two suspects.

-Did all members appear in this show? Since it was said in front of Daesung, it probably isn't Daesung, is it the criminal one or the one who did drugs?

-It's true that it's not a good question, but how celebrities handle not-so-good questions is what really shows their true colors

-During the 2nd Gen, questions about girlfriends or ideal types were very commonㅋㅋㅋ Why get annoyed at a question that could be easily brushed off with 'I don't have one'? And the fact that he did that to Hong Jinkyung is really shamelessㅋㅋㅋㅋ I wonder how unlucky he must have been with other reporters.

-Can't say it, but only one person comes to mind.

-He could've just said 'No, I don't have any girlfriend'...

-Yeah, even though she didn't say who it is, I think I know.

-If he didn't have any girlfriends, why did he get so mad?

-One person comes to mindㅋㅋ For now, it's not Daesung, G-Dragon, or Taeyang.

-Why do I think I know who it isㅋㅋㅋ

-Everyone seems to be thinking of one personㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Damn, this process of elimination in the commentsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
