SHINee's Taemin reveals he had a girlfriend in the past


Taemin confessed that he's had a girlfriend before.

While recently filming for MBC's 'We Got Married', he participated in a photoshoot as a couple with Na Eun. He was listening to Na Eun talk about her kiss scenes, and he suddenly revealed, "Actually, I've dated before", contradicting his earlier statement in the beginning of his run on the show where he stated that he'd never dated before.

He then talked about his dating experiences, and the pair ended up paying more attention to each other than the actual photoshoot itself.



The episode featuring Taemin's dating experience story will air on July 6.

Henry asked a lady to take her clothes off at a restaurant?


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.

Henry and Kyuhyun form love lines with Dasom and HyunA on 'Happy Together 3'


On the latest airing of 'Happy Together 3', members of Super Junior, SISTAR, and 4minute appeared as guests to bring their fans and viewers much amusement. One source of laughs was due to the love lines formed betweenHenry and Dasom, and Kyuhyun and HyunA during the episode!

Originally being from Canada, Henry was not one to hold back when he expressed his appreciation towards the female eye candy that appeared on the show with him, completely amusing the MCs who kept breaking out in laughs at his honest remarks. 

Among the guests, Kyuhyun was brought in first, followed by Henry. The first female guest that made her entrance on set was Dasom, and the set couldn't help but crack up as Henry's eyes were focused only on the lovely female idol. When the MCs remarked, "Henry you look like you're really enjoying this," Henry answered, "She's totally my style", leaving Dasom's jaws to drop open at his straightforward confession.

Henry continued to focus his attention on the lovely female guests that followed with his back almost completely turned towards Kyuhyun. MC Yoo Jae Sukcommented, "Henry, we're not setting up a blind date here. I think you might have the wrong idea," but Henry just remarked, "I'm really liking variety shows... it's just, wow! I wish I can come on here again," as he glanced at all the female idols, bringing tons of laughs.

MC Park Myung Soo pointed out, "You must be a player," but before he could hardly get the words out, Henry responded, "Me? Nononono." Yoo Jae Suk then joked, "You should be like Kyuhyun, sitting here so well mannered, pretending like he didn't see [the female idols] although you know he saw everything."However Henry gestured at Kyuhyun as he responded, "That is the real player." 

Yoo Jae Suk then moved onto his next victim, Kyuhyun, as he poked fun, "I hear Kyuhyun is a big fan of HyunA." Kyuhyun tried to laugh it off as he said, "Who, me?" but he was unable to even look at HyunA and kept staring at the floor. Later on, when showcasing his best impersonation of singer Sung Si Kyung, although everyone asked Kyuhyun to sing "On the Street", HyunA alone requested for "It Would Be Good". So what did Kyuhyun decide to sing? "It Would Be Good" of course!

Then it went back to Henry and Dasom's love line. As Henry discussed the hard times he had being one of the lesser known members of the group, Dasom was quick to praise, "But you had the most amount of fans today on stage. All the people in the front were international fans there to see you." As she and Henry conversed with one another, Kyuhyun jabbed, "It's already progressed this far between you two?" and Dasom waved her hands as she said, "I was just trying to console him," to which her fellow member Soyu hilariously remarked, "Look after me instead. Me!"

Then at one point during the show, HyunA rubbed her nose, and Park Myung Soo poked fun, "HyunA please stop picking your nose," and Kyuhyun immediately scolded, "What do you mean HyunA picks her nose. HyunA doesn't pick her nose," making his favoritism quite obvious and once again bringing laughs. When having moved onto the cooking part of the show, MC Shin Bong Sun commented, "Kyuhyun, aren't you happy that HyunA, whom you like, will be eating the food that you make?" and Kyuhyun bashfully stated, "I never said officially that I like HyunA," and the MCs teased, "Oh, so it's unofficial then."When Shin Bong Sun asked, "Do you want to know HyunA's phone number," Kyuhyun paused a moment before he wittily sang, "What's your phone number?", which is a line from 4minute's song "What's Your Name".

The 'unofficial' lovebirds then went head to head for their cooking battle at the end with their own late night snack recipes, but it was HyunA who claimed the winning spot with her grapefruit and sweetened condensed milk snack.

So what do you think? Does the Henry-Dasom couple or the Kyuhyun-HyunA couple have your support?

Henry, Soyu, and Gayoon talk about being the lesser known members of their groups on 'Happy Together 3'


For fans of Super Junior, SISTAR, and 4minute, or those who just enjoy idol interaction, the latest episode of 'Happy Together 3' is probably a must see as the idols made sure to bring abundant laughter with their frank comments as well as brushing upon topics a bit more serious in nature.

This episode was centered around introducing the lesser known members of each of the three idol groups, so representing Henry was Kyuhyun, while Dasomintroduced Soyu, and HyunA introduced Gayoon.

Kyuhyun, Dasom, and HyunA didn't hold back as they bragged about their fellow members and why they should be more recognized, and to confirm the hype, Henry played his violin and introduced himself in multiple languages while Soyu displayed her variety skills with her somewhat failed yet hilarious attempts at mimicking the voices of other celebrities. Gayoon, on the other hand, revealed that the reason she doesn't go on variety shows much is because she doesn't like being put on the spot and being requested to dance or show off a talent. 

Henry, Soyu, and Gayoon also spoke about some of the pain they've received due to being lesser known in the group than their fellow members. 

Soyu said, "Our group has done a lot of variety shows and it's been over 3 years since our debut so each member seems to have found their own niche. For programs focusing on vocal ability, Hyorin has made herself known as the main vocalist of the group. Bora started becoming known for her athleticism so she's done a lot of variety around that, and as for Dasom, she's picked up acting. So with three years having passed, when the agency asked me, 'Soyu, what do you want to do?', it's like, what can I even do now?" She also lightheartedly pointed out that MC Park Myung Soo kept forgetting her name on a radio program previously, calling her Dasom or Bora.

Gayoon revealed that she could relate, as she said, "There are times when I've been embarrassed before because when HyunA would come to the front, people would scream while they wouldn't when the other members would come out... However, I'm quite realistic so I think of it as an obvious thing now, but sometimes when the reaction is really severe, it does get to me a little."

Hearing Gayoon talk about her experience, Henry chimed in, "It was really severe for me. As you know, all the SuJu members are really famous, and I joined later. So when there were fan signings, all the members would sit in a row, and the fans would line up.  While the other members had an immense amount of people line up, my line had about maybe 10 or 20. So like how [Gayoon] was talking about the screaming when introducing members, for us, when the other members were being introduced, everyone would scream, but when I was introduced, it would just be quiet claps."

Although they might have gone through pained moments in the past, these members certainly made a name for themselves through this latest episode of the show as 'Happy Together 3' ranked #1 again, even jumping up 1.3% since last week to gain 8.6% in ratings.
