  • The comments were made during a trip featured on the KBS Joy show 'Kkiri Kkiri'.

Singer and actor Jung Jin-woon, a member of the group 2AM, has stated that the idea of dating his fellow celebrity Soyou is completely unimaginable. The sentiment was shared during a recent episode of the KBS Joy television program 'Kkiri Kkiri,' which featured the two artists, along with Lee Chang-sub, embarking on a trip together.

Why is she dressed up so much?

During their meeting at the airport before the trip, Jung Jin-woon and Lee Chang-sub playfully commented on Soyou's appearance, noting she seemed particularly dressed up. When Soyou questioned their reaction, Lee Chang-sub clarified it was not mockery but an observation of her effort in getting ready. Soyou responded with an embarrassed laugh, suggesting her elaborate preparation was only for the initial part of the trip.

I wasn't laughing, you just dressed up a lot today.

โ€” Lee Chang-subResponding to Soyou's question about why he seemed to be laughing at her appearance.

The show's producers posed a question about whether any of them had ever felt romantic feelings towards each other. Lee Chang-sub deflected the question regarding Soyou, stating he had never considered her as a potential girlfriend. Soyou echoed this sentiment, expressing that she had never thought of him as a boyfriend, making the situation awkward.

Only for the first day.

Jung Jin-woon elaborated on why a romantic relationship with Soyou is out of the question for him. He explained that their friendship is so deeply platonic that he even knows the layout of her home. This level of familiarity, he believes, makes any romantic scenario between them difficult to envision, stating, "If the two of us were to have a date at home, the picture just doesn't form."

I never once thought of him as a boyfriend, so it's awkward.
