Kim Soo Hyun brought his signature energy to MBC’s Good Day, and he didn’t hesitate to let everyone know just how close he is with Jung Hae In!

On the February 23 episode, the '88 Friends' group—featuring stars born in 1988—gathered for the first time. While some members felt a bit awkward, Kim Soo Hyun had no problem breaking the ice.

As soon as he arrived, he confidently introduced himself, saying, "I’m Kim Soo Hyun, born in 1988!" His bright personality immediately lightened the mood in the room.

But what really caught attention was how comfortable he was with Jung Hae In. While some of the other members hesitated in conversation, Kim Soo Hyun casually greeted Jung Hae In like an old friend—and even made a surprising statement.

“We’re close enough to travel together,” he declared, making it clear that their friendship is strong.

Jung Hae In, who seemed a little shy earlier, relaxed instantly when talking to Kim Soo Hyun. The two were seen naturally chatting, proving they really are close friends in real life.

With Kim Soo Hyun leading the way, the rest of the group gradually loosened up. Even Kwanghee, a variety show veteran, admitted he was nervous about being back on TV, but Kim Soo Hyun’s playful energy helped ease the tension.

As the show continued, the group bonded over casual conversations, games, and personal stories.

Fans are already loving this episode, with many commenting on how Kim Soo Hyun’s fun and confident personality stood out. With his natural charm, it’s no surprise he was able to bring everyone together effortlessly.

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.
