Super Junior's Heechul embarrasses APRIL's Chaekyung with a strange answer


Super Junior member Heechul made everyone laugh with a ridiculous answer.


On the 28th, JTBC variety show "Knowing Brothers" aired "Lunar New Year Special: Knowing Sisters." Entertainers Park Mi-seon, Hyeryeong, Oh Na-mi, singer Solbi, Hong Jin-young, FIESTAR's Cao Lu, and APRIL's Chaekyung appeared.


Oh Na-mi, Cao Lu, and Chaekyung, who joined the show for the first time that day, introduced themselves.


Chaekyung asked the MCs, "What have you decided not to do in the new year?" To which Heechul replied, "Is that right? Quitting smoking?", drawing laughter.


Chaekyung replied, "I'm a pure idol, so I've never smoked a cigarette," to which Seo Jang-hoon responded, "So have you tried e-cigarettes?", causing everyone to burst out laughing.


(From Entertainment News)


It feels like APRIL's popularity, or rather, their likeability, has increased since Chaekyung joined the group.


This year, I've been watching "Produce 101" videos intensively because of Yoo Yeonjung.


There was a stage where Chaekyung performed Girls' Generation's "Into the New World" with Yoonjung.


I thought Chaekyung didn't do much in "Produce 101," so this stage made me appreciate her charms in a new light.


Yeonjung stood out with her overwhelming singing ability, but the next person to catch my eye was Chaekyung, with her decent singing voice and looks.


"Is that really Jo Kyung? She looks good on stage," I thought, or maybe it was a different girl...


Even though APRIL's popularity and likeability have increased, the pure girls group Apink has been doing even better than its popularity suggests at overseas concerts, so pure groups are proliferating.


APRIL faces tough competition among them.


The young girls are TWICE, GFRIEND, and BLACK PINK, making up the top three.


If we were to call them the four heavenly kings, it would be a battle for the remaining position.


Currently, APRIL, Lovelyz, Cosmic Girls, Oh My Girl, DIA, Gugudan, Laboum, CLC, and others are crowded together with no clear difference.


It would be fine if one group could easily break out, but if three or four groups compete to grow, it will cause a tectonic shift and the top three and the veterans will not be able to rest easy.


So one thing can be said.


If the young girls are doing well, their enthusiasm will be transmitted to the higher-ranked groups.


They will shake things up.


As a result, the girl groups' performances will become more and more interesting.


I hope APRIL doesn't fall behind this group.
