On August 19th’s airing of ‘Gag Concert‘ Shin Bora said during the ‘Brave Guys‘ (or ‘Brave Rascals‘) segment, “HaHa, who appeared on the 12th’s segment of ‘Discoveries of Life’, listen closely. While we were practicing you told me ‘you’re pretty,’ ‘you’re good at acting,’ and ‘you have so much charm.’ Is that how you got Byul to fall for you?”

To congratulate the wedding of the couple, Shin Bora began to sing Byul’s hit song “Greeting“, but brought laughs as she emphasized the line, “We can’t love, even if we miss each other, we can’t meet“.

To this, fellow Brave Guys member Park Sung Kwang asked, “Why are you being like this?” Shin Bora then replied with a mock sad face, “Because I’m jealous. He made my heart flutter slightly during that moment.”
