Hearing this, Shindong suddenly turned to his Super Junior co-member Heechul and said:
"Heechul has the most female friends."
In response, Lee Soo Geun indirectly brought up Heechul's ex-girlfriend, TWICE Momo, saying:
"We thought it was just a girl friend, so we looked at it like that, but it wasn't that, a different result came out..."
The visibly embarrassed male idol shortened his words and exclaimed:
"Don't talk about this. There's nothing in your favor "
Seo Jang Hoon hurriedly said, "I'm next."
