During the show, it was mentioned that both Hyoyeon and Yunho marked their 20th year since signing with their agency. Thus, the MCs aired their curiosity on which of the two idols will be the next member of SME's board of directors.
It could be Hyoyeon, but the female idol pointed to Yunho, exposing that he would always sit down with their founder Lee Soo Man during company gatherings.
Along with Yunho, she also named another three passionate men sitting across Lee Soo Man, and they are truly unexpected!
It is known among fans that SME's "passionate trio" consists of SHINee's Minho, Super Junior's Siwon, and TVXQ's Yunho.
Hyoyeon did mention the "flaming charisma" Minho as one of the three, but the female star said that TVXQ Changmin and Super Junior's Kyuhyun could be the next directors who are always seen seated beside Mr. Lee.
Nevertheless, Yunho is the most favorite, and the MCs even joked that he could also be Soo Man's successor to rule the agency giant and home to legends H.O.T, S.E.S, BoA, and TVXQ themselves.

Hyoyeon Shares Details about Her Career, Current Status as a DJ
As the show went on, the Girls' Generation member narrated how she asked SM Entertainment's CEO and the directors about becoming a DJ.
She said, "At the time when I wanted to transfer to being a DJ, I sent a long text message to (then-) CEO Lee Soo Man to inform the board of directors and a dedicated team was formed."
Yunho added, "I heard Hyoyeon was serious about DJing." In fact, the idol-DJ shared that she has since been invited to perform in several countries since then. Hyoyeon also revealed that she was able to perform in Netherlands, considered as the birthplace of DJs.
Unfortunately due to pandemic, her DJing career was also affected.
On the other hand, Hyoyeon also said that the duality of being a Girls' Generation member and a DJ made her confused.
"When I play DJ, I get confused, and I don't usually curse, but DJing has to make me excited. I practiced cursing in the mirror but because of the image of Girls' Generation, I couldn't swear," Hyoyeon shared.
Lastly, Hyoyeon said she wants to form an exchange expedition following the supergirl group Refund Expedition. For the members, she said CL, Hyolyn, HyunA, and herself will complete the lineup.
