"Would Ms. Yeon-ah like this?". Crossover group Forestella appeared, but the questions were aimed only at member Ko Woo-Rim's wife, Kim Yuna. The provocative personal life questions on 'Jun Hyun-moo's Plan 3' are stirring debate.
On the 17th, the MBN variety show 'Jun Hyun-moo's Plan 3' aired with Forestella (Kang Hyung-ho, Ko Woo-Rim, Bae Doo-hoon, Jo Min-gyu) appearing as guests. They met MC Jun Hyun-moo and GwakTube (Gwak Jun-bin) and went on a Seoul back-alley restaurant tour.
Forestella's Jo Min-gyu led the members and 'mok-bro' Jun Hyun-moo and GwakTube to his regular spaghetti spot. Forestella's Ko Woo-Rim is the husband of former figure skater Kim Yuna, who is loved as 'Queen Yuna.' The conversation naturally turned to Ko Woo-Rim's love story. Ko Woo-Rim candidly recounted how, thanks to his mother-in-law being a Forestella fan, he was invited as a performer to Kim Yuna's 'ice show' celebration and first met Kim Yuna in the waiting room.
Even Forestella members joked about the time, saying "I thought this guy was crazy," and "Only about 10% of the story we know came out." Ko Woo-Rim, embarrassed by the members' 'teamkill' revelations, continued the love story. "There was a dinner where Min-gyu hyung treated Ms. Yeon-ah, and it happened to be my birthday. Ms. Yeon-ah DM'd me first asking if it was my birthday," he said. In the warm atmosphere, Ko Woo-Rim and Kim Yuna's love story seemed to come to a close for the moment.
But even after they changed locations, the 'Kim Yuna talk' continued. At the raw fish restaurant, questions targeting Kim Yuna kept appearing, such as "Would Ms. Yeon-ah like (raw fish)?" and "Do you usually go on raw fish restaurant dates?" Faced with questions that kept circling back to Kim Yuna, Ko Woo-Rim calmly answered, "I think she likes raw fish."
Of course, since Ko Woo-Rim gained fame as Kim Yuna's husband, questions about his wife were inevitable. GwakTube also frequently mentions marriage and childbirth on each episode of 'Jun Hyun-moo's Plan 3,' and from a guest's perspective, conversations naturally shift from food to family topics, daily life and interests.
But that day it was not only Ko Woo-Rim appearing as a guest; the whole Forestella team was on the show. The atmosphere, in which excessively many questions targeted Ko Woo-Rim and specifically Kim Yuna, made even the production team conscious of the repeated focus on Kim Yuna. GwakTube even teased that Jun Hyun-moo's persistent questions about Kim Yuna felt "like he was at a different table rather than the same table when asking."
In the end, Jun Hyun-moo looked awkward, and a subtitle with the nuance "he seemed like an old man" appeared to diffuse the mood. However, this was described in the pre-broadcast preview materials as once again focusing on Kim Yuna, highlighting it as a viewing point.
Forestella visited 'Jun Hyun-moo's Plan 3' to promote their new song. Since every moment to promote the new song is precious, using the members' personal lives for talk seemed almost indispensable. Yet the boundary of that amusement clearly exists. The way the show probes personal lives after attempting to change the subject swung between persistence and rudeness, making viewers uncomfortable. It is a disappointing judgment for the veteran host Jun Hyun-moo's wit, leaving a bitter aftertaste.
