You may remember some of the previous laughs that were brought by idols who aren't fluent in Korean as they revealed some of their past mistakes, but Henry is here to top them all with his innocent, or perhaps not so innocent, mistake!
There were moments of abundant laughter throughout the latest episode of 'Happy Together 3', and one of those memorable moments came when Henry was asked if he ever made a mistake while in the process of learning Korean.
Henry started off, "I went to a restaurant to eat meat. So they had mushrooms there... wait, but this is kind of sexual..." but of course that just ended up piquing the interest of everyone on set, who urged him to go on with his story!
Henry continued, "So they had mushrooms ['buhsuht'] and we ran out , but I wanted to eat some more. So I called out to the lady who works there, 'ahjumma, buhsuh-jusaeyo!'" Henry had mispronounced mushrooms, or 'buhsuht' as just 'buhsuh', and added 'jusaeyo', which normally means 'give me' on its own. But when 'jusaeyo' is combined with 'buhsuh' you get 'buhsuh-jusaeyo', which means, "Can you take [your clothes] off".
As the entire set cracked up at the small mistake that completely changed the meaning, Henry demonstrated the look that the lady gave him in response. Seeing her quizzical and dirty look shot at him and not realizing his mistake, Henry apparently thought to himself during that moment, "Ah... maybe mushrooms are expensive in Korea."
With his featuring on 'Happy Together 3', Henry successfully charmed his way into viewers' hearts, even becoming one of the most searched for names of the day on various portals, thanks to his hilarious honesty and wit displayed on the show.
