Huh Gak reveals he received an apology from Davichi’s Kang Min Kyung

Huh Gak recently revealed that he received an apology from Davichi‘s Kang Min Kyung.

If you remember, on a previous airing of KBS‘ ‘Hong Jin Kyung’s 2:00‘, DJ Hong Jin Kyung asked Kang Min Kyung if a relationship would be possible between her and Huh Gak, as his crush on her has been made quite well known through Immortal Song 2. Kang Min Kyung quickly interjected, “No thanks,”barely giving the DJ a chance to finish.

Hearing the news later on, Huh Gak stated that he had no interest in dating her either.

On the May 10th episode of Mnet‘s ‘Beatles Code 2‘, Huh Gak was asked if his response was made out of anger, and the singer answered, “I was more upset that people would talk about things like that without even asking what I thought and in a place where I wasn’t present.”

“After that aired, Kang Min Kyung personally called me and said that she was really sorry,” he continued. “I told her it was okay, and that I had no interest in dating her either.”

When asked why he told her he had no interest, Huh Gak responded, “It was because my feelings were hurt, I didn’t mean that I didn’t like her. Who would say no if Kang Min Kyung asked to date?”, lightening the mood.

Other guests who featured on this episode were K.Will and Na Yoon Kwon.

SHINee showed off their “magic dance” on air this week, performing their “Replay” dance to Lee Hyori’s “U Go Girl” and having it sync up perfectly.

On May 9th, MBC Every1‘s “Weekly Idol” aired the second half of their SHINee Special. In this episode, SHINee showed off their “magic dance,” which has been a hot issue since their debut.

SHINee’s ‘magic dance’ is the choreography from their debut track, “Noona You’re So Pretty“. Shawols named it the ‘magic dance’ because the choreography seems to fit perfectly with any song as a backtrack.

In the past, SHINee’s ‘magic dance’ garnered interest online with a series of parody videos showing SHINee’s choreography against other K-pop songs including IU‘s “Good Day“, B2ST‘s “Mystery“, Lee Hyori’s “U Go Girl”, and Jung Jun Ha‘s “Chicken Soup“.
