Kwanghee finally met Jung Hae In after accidentally speaking casually about him before!

On the February 23rd broadcast of Good Day, a special gathering of top stars born in 1988 took place.

The star-studded lineup included G-Dragon, Kim Soo Hyun, Jung Hae In, Im Si Wan, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Kwanghee, bringing the "88 Nation" together for a fun and nostalgic meeting.

Kwanghee was the first to arrive at the I Am Solo-inspired segment and was hoping for a familiar face. "This is going to be awkward. I hope Im Si Wan comes," he said nervously.

But instead, it was Jung Hae In who showed up—fresh off a flight from Japan that he adjusted just to make it to the gathering!

Though they were meeting for the first time, the two already had a funny history. During a previous appearance on Pingego with Im Si Wan, Kwanghee had mentioned Jung Hae In multiple times—casually calling him by name even though they had never met.

Realizing this might have been rude, he later sent a message to Jung Hae In, saying, "I’ve never met Jung Hae In-nim before, but I kept calling him just ‘Jung Hae In,’ and it’s been bothering me."

Now face-to-face, Kwanghee brought up the moment again. "You must have felt uncomfortable," he said, looking apologetic. However, Jung Hae In reassured him with a warm smile, saying, "Not at all. I’m actually grateful that you mentioned me on the show."

Fans loved seeing this lighthearted exchange and the unexpected bond between the two stars! What do you think—was Kwang Hee’s concern necessary, or was it all just a funny misunderstanding?

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
