Question: You’ve been hit on by a female ido before.

Younghoon: Are you crazy?

ㄷㄷ 내가 좋아했을 시절에 이거 봣으먄 속에서 천불이 났을 듯 미친놈들

Is he really trying to get himself retired before enlisting in the military…

These guys really be going all out now.

Seeing the response, Younghoon personally came on the fan messaging platform to reassure fans.

Deobis knows even if I don’t say anything, right? That more than the interest of others, deobi’s will always be my priority and whom I like the most. I hope that what I said didn’t make you sad. And lastly, what happened on the show is just for the show. I am so happy that I was able to meet Deobis through THE BOYZ, and I hope we are together for a long time. It’s monsoon season, so be careful not to get sick or catch a cold, ok?
