On the March 24 broadcast of MBC FM4U’s “Kim Shin Young’s Noon Song of Hope,” Jeon So Min and Kim Do Yeon appeared as guests and talked about various topics.
During the show, a listener sent in a message asking, “Super Junior’s Eunhyuk, who is loved by DJ Kim Shin Young, was Jeon So Min’s classmate in elementary and middle school. I’m curious if he already stood out back then.”
In response, Jeon So Min recalled, “Eunhyuk really stood out. He was popular even in elementary school and was already active in a dance group within the school. So he was quite different from me.”
She then talked about the moment they reunited later in life, saying, “I was happy to see him again at the broadcasting station, but he called me by a nickname I had completely forgotten.” She added, “Since my name is Jeon So Min, people would shorten it to ‘Jeon-so, Jeon-so,’ and it eventually turned into ‘Jeot-so (milk cow).’ Honestly, I found it very unpleasant,” drawing laughter.
Jeon So Min continued, “He suddenly called me that at the station, so things felt a bit awkward between us,” sharing her embarrassment at the time.
Their unique school connection had been revealed once before. Back in November 2017 on SBS’s “Running Man,” the two reunited as former classmates, gaining attention.
At the time, fellow Super Junior member Yesung revealed, “I heard that Jeon So Min used to like Eunhyuk during school,” which she denied while still admitting, “He was really popular.”
Eunhyuk then added, “She was always like that, exactly the same,” reminiscing about their school days. He also explained, “Back in elementary school, we often made nicknames using names. It started from ‘Jeon So-ddong’ and eventually became ‘Jeot So-ddong (milk cow dung),’” sending everyone into laughter.
