Kim Heechul's inquiry following a statement made by Ningning from the group aespa has generated negative reactions from viewers and internet users.

During a recent episode of the popular talk show 'Knowing Bros' that aired on June 10, aespa members Ningning, Karina, and Winter appeared as special guests. The cast members were pleasantly surprised by Ningning's significant improvement in speaking Korean.

Among the various topics discussed, the conversation turned to the importance of a guy's appearance when dating.

Heechul posed a question to all three girls, asking if they consider a guy's looks. Without hesitation, Ningning replied, "I don't."

Ningning's answer raised doubts and led to protests from everyone present. It was at this point that Heechul decided to speak up.

He jokingly remarked, "Young Chul has the best personality among us," indirectly suggesting whether Ningning would date him or not. In response, Ningning playfully replied, "Oh really? And…" which elicited laughter from the group.

Following the broadcast of the episode, many viewers expressed their dissatisfaction with Heechul's comments.

They criticized his indirect inquiry about Ningning's potential interest in Kim Young Chul while simultaneously implying that the comedian may not meet conventional standards of physical attractiveness.

Netizens congregated on online platforms to voice their opinions, stating:

"Why would Heechul ask such a question to a girl who was born in 2002?"

"He basically says that Kim Young Chul is ugly. That's not nice."

"The question is rude to Ningning and Kim Young Chul alike."

"What does he hope to get? He is being rude to them both.

"Why is he being so mean to Kim Young Chul?"

"But Ningning's answer was hilarious."

"When Heechul asked Ningning a question, her cute 'And?' was exactly what I wanted to say."

"I can't stand Heechul at all. He is so mean."

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
