On the September 3rd episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Secret‘, miss A featured as a host and dazzled viewers with her witty wordplay. Kim Yong Man, the other host of the show, was surprised to see this smooth person beside him, as he recalled that HyunA was a little clumsy in her mannerisms in the past.

Kim Yong Man commented, “I used to be on a show program with HyunA for a while, and HyunA was really blunt.” He added, “She used to get mad at the mistakes she made even if she was the one who made the mistake,” surprising the viewers.

In addition he said, “Once, she called Jung Hyung Don a ‘pig’ and screamed, ‘What do you know!‘ to me at one point’ revealing that these particular incidents were cut out. Kimg Yong Man also commented, “I’m warning MC Lee Hwi Jae of ‘Secret‘” causing the viewers to burst out in to laughter.

After listening to Kim Yong Man’s story, HyunA replied, “I’m so sorry. I reacted like that because all the MC’s were really nice to me,” cutely apologizing while explaining her actions.

Meanwhile, on this day, Jang Woo Hyuk jokingly told off MC Lee Hwee Jae, “You’re not that funny but you’ve been on air for a long time. What is your secret. How do you lobby all this?” garnering interest in Lee Hwi Jae’s backstory as an MC.
