Shin Bora calls out HaHa during ‘Gag Concert’

Comedian Shin Bora sent a brave message to the newly engaged couple Byul and HaHa.

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.”

Yenny then stood face to face with Shin Bora and made a spiteful remark saying, “I’ve noticed your popularity is sky-rocketing these days. But if you come to ‘Music Bank’, you’re just onami (to us).”
