Na Eun and Taemin reveal their honest thoughts about viewer comments on ‘We Got Married’

 
SHINee‘s Taemin and A Pink‘s Na Eun shared their honest thoughts about comments by viewers on ‘We Got Married 4‘.
 
The two idols are the newest couple to join the show, and it seems not everyone was happy to see them together on screen. On the May 11th show, Taemin asked Na Eun if she read some of the negative comments, and she replied that she did.
 
During her solo interview, she expressed, “I saw all the comments. I was trying not to see them, but I ended up reading them. It’d be a lie if I said there wasn’t anything that upset me. As time passes, I worry about it more and I only see the bad things. I got hurt.”
 
Taemin stated, “Though I thank those who are looking at us in a positive light, there will definitely be those who think negatively of us. I wish Na Eun wouldn’t see those comments. Since she’s younger than I am, I want to protect her.”

Jo Jung Chi writes Jung In a heartfelt letter on ‘We Got Married’

 
Jo Jung Chi wrote a heartfelt letter to his real-life girlfriend and ‘We Got Married‘ wife Jung In.
 
On the May 11th show, Jo Jung Chi decided to cheer up Jung In after she was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid. The couple went on a rickshaw date, and afterwards, he suddenly surprised her with the letter, making her shed tears of happiness.
 
The ‘We Got Married’ producers asked him to read the letter out loud. He said, “I think the reason you’re sick is because of me, so I’m sorry. I asked you for a lot. All I want is just for you to be healthy. You can lose the keys if you want. It’s okay if you make mistakes. We’ll be able to grow old together if you’re not sick. I want to become more like you too.”
 
Jo Jung Chi’s touching letter even made the studio panel show tears. Jung In stated, “I can have a complete recovery with continual treatment. From now on, I’ll work hard to receive treatment and recover.”

Go Jun Hee tells Jinwoon how she learned to drink on ‘We Got Married’

 
Go Jun Hee revealed to 2AM‘s Jinwoon how she learned to drink alcohol on ‘We Got Married‘.
 
Continuing on with their ‘healing’ date, the couple went out to eat some grilled eel to rejuvenate their strength. Jinwoon prepared Korean fruit wine for the occasion, and Go Jun Hee commented while drinking, “I learned how to drink with poktanjoo (bomb drink, shot of soju inside beer), so it’s hard for me to drink alcohol that’s not mixed,” causing laughter with her frankness.
 
After she had a few drinks in her, Go Jun Hee revealed that she thought of Jinwoon as a baby when she first met him. He responded, “When do you feel that I’m most masculine?”
 
The actress answered, “I got really angry when you tried to make me jealous the time I visited you at ‘Music Core‘. I was going to leave the broadcast and go home. Let’s not make each other jealous, and stop talking about female idols.”
 
On the same episode, Go Jun Hee set up a surprise birthday party for Jinwoon and invited his friends.

Idols struggle with Korean history on ‘Infinity Challenge’

 
Despite the combined power of dozens of Korea’s most popular idols, they – just like normal students around the world – struggled with basic history questions during their appearance on the most recent episode of MBC‘s ‘Infinity Challenge’.
 
Gathering idols such as SHINee, B1A4, Orange Caramel, and others, the ‘Infinity Challenge’ crew divided up among themselves in a basic quiz show match along the lines of ‘Star Golden Bell‘. However, right from the beginning, they ran into problems as they found themselves struggling from the very first question: the name of a famous Korean pro-independence movement.
 
Answers, written on an individual whiteboard, included ‘Seven Princesses’, ‘Strong Friends’, and – most hilariously – ‘I’m Sorry Mom’. In the end, not a single idol member got the question right.
 
Their historical woes revealed, the remainder of the episode dealt with the ‘Infinity Challenge’ members doling out historical information in the form of lectures to the idol groups, punctuated, as always, with hilarious moments.

4minute‘s Sohyun, INFINITE‘s Sunggyu, and B.A.P‘s Bang Yong Guk were revealed to be one of the smartest among the 30 idols featured on the latest episode of ‘Infinity Challenge‘.
 
MC Yoo Jae Suk asked 4minute, “Which member did the best in school?”, and leader Jihyun pointed to maknae Sohyun. Sohyun surprised the other idols by revealing, “I ranked #4 in my class.” Yoo Jae Suk then asked the 30 idols, “Is there anyone here who achieved higher than fourth place?”
 
Sunggyu raised his hand and shared, “Although it’s weird to say this about myself, I achieved #2 out of my entire school.” Yoo Jae Suk responded, “You must have been very good at studying”, to which Sunggyu hilariously answered, “That’s right.”
 
Yoo Jae Suk raised the bar higher and asked, “Is there anyone who achieved higher than 2nd place?”, to which Bang Yong Guk raised his hand and shared, “I placed #1 among 800 students during my 2nd year of high school”, impressing everyone on set.
 
During the idol special, 30 idols split into 11 teams with each ‘Infinity Challenge’ member becoming their teacher. They also received special lessons from the cast, who lectured in their own individual way to teach them Korean history.
