Kim Jong-min, known affectionately as “Little Yot,” sparked curiosity by indirectly hinting at his relationship status.
On the 19th, the YouTube channel “Merry Go Round” aired a new episode of “Kim Jong-min’s Myeondeitu Demyeondemyeon.”
During the episode, Heo Young-ji was asked, “Young-ji is good at everything, including dating. Did you tell her not to worry because she’ll handle it?” Kim Jong-min responded, “I told her not to worry because she’ll handle it. I don’t want our fans to get hurt because of these problems.” To the follow-up question, “Is it completely gone now?”, Heo Young-ji replied “Yes.”
When asked, “Are you good at dating?”, Kim Jong-min replied, “I am good at it.” Heo Young-ji’s repeated disclaimers of “I don’t like it” generated laughter. Further fueling speculation, Kim Jong-min appeared to be sending messages on his phone while speaking to Heo Young-ji, but quickly deflected the suspicion by pretending to take photos of food.
Following the recent announcement of KARA’s comeback, Heo Young-ji shared, “When I was younger, I would take breaks from activities with my sisters. I also took a break before becoming closer to them. I thought I should contact them first, but I was happy when Han Seung-yeon reached out to check on me.” She added, “I’m grateful that we got together and talked a lot.”
Heo Young-ji continued, “During the team’s last break, I just hung out. Things were really awkward with Park Gyu-ri. No matter what I did, she would look at me suspiciously. When we got together two years ago, we often said, ‘I don’t think I really know you.’ We had a glass of wine together and talked a lot.”
Regarding Nicole, she explained, “We weren’t familiar with Nicole and Kang Ji-young when we tried to get together two years ago. I was apprehensive, but Nicole welcomed me warmly and reached out to me first, which made me feel comfortable. I’m very grateful.”
“I’ve often thought lately regarding how much effort I had to put in just to buy a house,” Heo Young-ji said. “Now that Kim Jong-min is past that period, I’m curious regarding what he’s going to worry regarding next.” When asked regarding his anxieties, Kim Jong-min replied, “I thought I would become like this, but I don’t know why I was so worried. When I got to Heo Young-ji’s age, I had more worries and grew up. I should have had more than I have now, but I never got there. Still, it’s incredible to have made it this far. Things are better now than when I worried when I was young. When Heo Young-ji gets older, she might think, ‘I did this when I was stressed out by major worries.'”
Heo Young-ji concluded, “I didn’t expect KARA to get together like this the year before last. I was worried regarding how we would live, but later I said, ‘I’m living well.'”
