Are Bada and Noh Hong Chul dating?

Bada appeared on the July 7th broadcast of tvN’s ‘SNL Korea 2‘ and confessed on the show that she is dating Noh Hong Chul.

During the show, Horan mentioned that she is dating a person that she went out with 10 years ago and Bada went on to say, “I was not going to say anything, but I feel like I can on this show.  I am dating Noh Hong Chul.  We wear couple clothes and take pictures together.”

To this, the director asked if they just had a close relationship, but Bada gave no further explanation.

After a while however, it turned out to be false.  Bada said, “I was kidding when I said that I was dating Noh Hong Chul.  I had a few months off from work and during the break I went to the army.  I am actually a man,” which also caught the audience off guard.

Rumors of Bada and Noh Hong Chul have come up numerous times and suspicions of their relationship grew, after a polaroid of the two looking very close and affectionate spread.

Bada shares a story about an unforgettable fan

On the June 13th broadcast of MBC‘s ‘Radio Star‘, singer Bada opened up about her memories involving an unforgettable fan.

She started off saying, “During my S.E.S days, a delivery for jjajangmyun came when we didn’t order it.”

“We realized it was a fan dressed up as a delivery boy who snuck in. We had bodyguards at the time so it must have been hard sneaking in,” said Bada leaving the MCs anxious to hear what happened next.

Bada continued, “Inside the delivery steel container, instead of jjajangmyun, there was a present and roses. Everyone who was watching was very touched.”

Bada had no idea Kyuhyun was a member of Super Junior

Singer Bada unintentionally dissed Super Junior member Kyuhyun.

Veteran singer Kim Wan Sun, Bada, and SISTAR‘s Hyorin guest-featured on the June 13th broadcast of MBC‘s ‘Radio Star‘.

Bada opened up about her days as a member of original female idol group S.E.S saying, “All our songs were hits. The songs were good, and so was the company,” referring to her former company SM Entertainment.

MC Kyuhyun who is also under SM Entertainment seemed to agree that SM was a good company, and also agreed with MC Yoon Jong Shin who said, “S.E.S laid the foundation for SM Entertainment.”

But this seemed to surprise Bada who said, “Kyuhyun is under the same company? SM? You’re that Kyuhyun from Super Junior?”, to which a dumbfounded Kyuhyun responded, “This is the most flustered I’ve felt all year.”

“I really didn’t know, you look like a solo singer,” Bada said in an attempt to comfort him, but an adorably upset Kyuhyun evoked laughter with his own diss saying, “To be honest, I liked Fin.K.L (S.E.S’ rivals) better.”

Hyorin made a guest appearance on the latest ‘Korean Diva’ episode of MBC‘s ‘Radio Star‘, along with talented 1st and 2nd generation singers, Kim Wan Sun and S.E.S‘ Bada.

MC Kyuhyun began by saying, “There are rumors going around that you (Hyorin) walk around naked in the dorm,” and asked the singer if the rumors were true. Hyorin who seemed a bit embarrassed confidently replied, “I walk around the dorm naked, wearing nothing but my undergarments.”

“I can’t sleep with my clothes on, and I’m not the only one that has this habit. Soyu also sleeps naked. When she and I are the only ones at home, the dorm turns into a female bathhouse,” she said, causing the emcees to blush crimson red.

Hyorin was then asked whether she thinks she has a nice body, and she honestly answered, “When I walk past a mirror and see my reflection, I tend to give myself a second glance.”

She added, “Honestly, I think Soyu and I have the nicest bodies in the group.” This prompted the emcees to ask if the other members, Bora and Dasom, acknowledge that they have the best bodies. Hyorin replied, “We actually acknowledge and give compliments to each other very well.”

In addition, Hyorin also spoke up about being nicknamed ‘Hwang Bi Hong (Jet Li as Wong Fei Hung) forehead‘ and shared her honest thoughts regarding her appearance.

On this episode of ‘Radio Star’, Bada shared, “There were many instances that people approached me because they were curious or had a fantasy about me as I was a member of S.E.S. It always took longer to get to know someone’s true intentions, and there were also missed connections caused by timing.”

She continued to reveal a past relationship that made her grow: “There was a moment I realized what love is recently. For 10 years, I couldn’t sing ballads. I was prideful in front of love, and I didn’t realize what it was worth [so we ended]. I didn’t [care enough] to talk about relationships on air in the past, but now I am talking about it.”

Kim Wan Sun and SISTAR‘s Hyorin were also featured as guests on the same episode.

Since their disbandment in 2002, the members have been standing before cameras as individual stars, pursuing various careers and activities like acting, musicals, and starting a family. For the first time in 10 years, however, they’ve gathered again for the charity bazaar ‘Green Heart‘.

‘Green Heart’ is a small event supported by member Bada for the past three years in support of a young and impoverished cellist named Minho. Eugene and Shoo have been supporting Bada’s efforts, but decided to take it a step further by launching ‘S.E.S.’s Green Heart’.

Alll proceeds from the bazaar will be donated to organizations protecting the environment and social efforts for the future of children.

Bada stated, “The reason we disbanded was to protect the name of S.E.S. We were young, but we promised each other to do something greater and better under the name of S.E.S.”

A representative of the pictorial stated, “Staff couldn’t help but exclaim their awe at Eugene, Bada, and Shoo’s first time in 10 years for a fashion spread. They stayed late at the set talking and laughing, and we all felt that S.E.S. was still as strong as ever.”

The bazaar will contain personal items from the members and special T-shirts designed by Eugene.
