MAMAMOO’s Hwasa has finally spilled the truth about why she refuses to answer Park Na Rae’s calls anymore—and her reason has everyone cracking up!

On the February 18 episode of U+ original variety show Let’s Be Friendly 4, Hwasa appeared as a special guest alongside MCs Han Hye Jin, Park Na Rae, Poongja, and Um Ji Yoon. The group had a hilarious discussion about their biggest fears, revealing some unexpected (and funny) phobias.

When the topic of fears came up, Park Na Rae confessed, "I have a severe fear of birds," even recalling a past moment when she couldn’t even look at chicken feet on the show. However, Poongja playfully pointed out, "But you eat fried chicken, right?" making everyone burst into laughter over her selective fear.

Han Hye Jin then admitted, "I can’t handle mascot costumes! I can’t even go near them," shocking the others. Even the famous character Pengsoo is too much for her! Poongja immediately related, saying, "I totally get it!"

Meanwhile, Hwasa revealed that she has trypophobia—the fear of small holes. Her confession left Han Hye Jin in shock, who jokingly replied, "That must make life so much easier for you!"

Then came the highlight of the show—Park Na Rae brought up her past calls to Hwasa, revealing that the two became close through The Ladies’ Secret Party. She apologized for only reaching out when she needed something, but Hwasa assured her, "I actually like that you’re straightforward. I find empty pleasantries more uncomfortable."

But then Hwasa dropped a bombshell! She revealed that she used to answer Park Na Rae’s late-night calls but suddenly decided, "I’m never picking up again!"

Her reason? "Na Rae unnie used to call me late at night, and one time I thought, ‘I can’t do this anymore,’ so I ignored it. But she got upset. One night, I saw a call from her and thought, ‘It’s that time again, she must be drunk,’ but I still picked up. And, as expected, Um Ji Yoon answered instead! That’s when I made up my mind—I’m never picking up again!"

Her hilarious story left everyone in stitches, proving once again why Hwasa is a variety show queen!

Meanwhile, Let’s Be Friendly 4 drops new episodes every Monday and Tuesday.

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
