Seo In-young reveals Hwanhee once asked to spend Christmas together

Singer Seo In-young sparked unexpected rumors of a past flirtation by revealing an anecdote involving Hwanhee. The situation drew laughter as Brian Joo stepped in to personally verify Seo's claim that Hwanhee seemed to have shown interest in her back in the day.

On the 5th, a video titled "Brian Joo, the Best Friend of an Ex-Boyfriend, Visits Seo In-young's House (Messy House)" was released on Seo In-young's YouTube channel, "Gaegwacheonseon Seo In-young."

During the video, while chatting with Brian Joo about their days in the music industry, Seo brought up a special episode involving Hwanhee.

"I think Hwanhee oppa liked me a little bit back then," Seo said. "He even contacted me once asking to spend Christmas together."

At this sudden revelation, Brian Joo appeared skeptical. He ultimately decided to call Hwanhee on the spot to verify the facts.

When Hwanhee answered the phone, Seo asked him directly, "Oppa, did you find me cute or not?" to which Hwanhee replied, "I thought you were cute because you were like a baby."

Seo followed up by asking, "Doesn't that mean you liked me?" while Brian Joo joined in, teasingly asking, "It wasn't that you liked her as a woman, right?"

However, Hwanhee gave a cautious response, saying, "To be honest, I don't remember clearly," though he added, "But In-young was cute."

Seo then asked, "Don't you remember asking me 'What are you doing? Let's spend it together' on Christmas?" causing laughter as Hwanhee looked flustered, responding, "Me?"

Seo recalled the situation, noting, "I turned him down back then because I had a boyfriend."

When she further asked, "If I had said 'Let's date,' do you think we would have?" Hwanhee gave a witty retort, "I don't just date anyone," which caused the group to burst into laughter.

Seo In-young and Hwanhee have maintained their connection through various broadcasts and stages, having both been members of first-generation idol and vocal groups that represented the music industry. While this revelation was a lighthearted episode stemming from long-standing friendship rather than romantic feelings, it has once again piqued fans' curiosity regarding the two's past relationship.
