Hong Jin Kyung, Jo Se Ho, 2PM Wooyoung, and EXO Xiumin, who were grouped into one team, had a chat while completing their missions.While on their way to their next destination, Jo Se Ho expressed his favor to Xiumin, saying:

"Physically, single eyelids are my favorite style."

In response, Xiumin talked about his unique feature among EXO members and said:

"I'm the only EXO member who doesn't have double eyelids."

Although a lot of people especially EXO-Ls(EXO fandom) and ELSAs (Xiumin fans) love this attribute of him, the male idol then confessed that this made him consider getting plastic surgery for double eyelids. Thankfully, many people stopped him.

"I wanted to do it, but everyone stopped me."

Hearing this, Hong Jin Kyung stopped him as well by saying:

"Xiumin, please never get double eyelids (surgery)."

2PM Wooyoung also strongly agreed and admired his eyes conveying:

"That's going to cause an uproar. You will be scolded. You have such pretty eyes!"
