Super Junior's Kim Heechul shared his experience of eating frog.

On the 196th episode of the KBS 2TV variety show "Boss in the Mirror" (also known as "Donkey's Ear") that aired on February 26, Chef Jung Ji-sun introduced various Chinese ingredients to her staff.

On that day, Chef Jung Ji-sun made her staff and MCs curious by saying, "Let's go see a 'hippopotamus'", but it turns out that the 'hippopotamus' was just a frog.

Chef Jung Ji-sun explained, "It's called 'jeonggye' because it tastes like chicken and is often eaten as a hotpot dish in the Sichuan region of China. If you don't think of it as a frog and eat it, it tastes like chicken."

Upon seeing the frog, Kim Heechul made a shocked expression and said, "I think it would be better if we just saw a real hippopotamus".

He then reminisced, "I've tried it before. About four years ago, I went to a Chinese event and went to eat with everyone after it ended. We went to a hotpot restaurant, and I couldn't eat it, but the female host, Chuk Seo-dan, looked at me and said, 'Can't you eat it?' I ate it because I didn't want to disappoint her".

He continued, "I really tasted the flavor of chicken. It was chewier and more tender than chicken in a way."

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
