SEVENTEEN Seungkwan Reveals The Shocking Number of Contacts On His Phone: 'He Has 10x More Than Me'

During his latest show appearance, SEVENTEEN member Seungkwan revealed just how many contacts he has saved on his phone, and it has everyone shocked!

On May 10, Girl's Day member Hyeri uploaded the 13th episode of her YouTube web show, "Hyell's Club." On the show, she prepares cocktails and bar chow for guests while they chat comfortably. For this episode, Seungkwan of SEVENTEEN was the guest.

During the show, Hyeri mentioned that Seungkwan is an "inssah." Also known as an insider, this is someone who is extroverted, who knows all the trends, and is always picking up new things. Inssah also refers to someone who is popular or is a social butterfly.

Hyeri then asked Seungkwan how many contacts he has on his phone, noting that although she is considered an inssah, she doesn't have that many contacts on her phone. She noted this is a question his fans, the CARATs, wanted to ask.

Both the idols then decided to check their phones to see how many contacts they had. Seungkwan was the first to reply, and his response shocked everyone on set.

Seungkwan has 802 contacts on his phone!

The number shocked Hyeri, who released a sound of shock and covered her mouth. Seungkwan, on the other hand, appeared relaxed, even asking, "Is that a lot?" However, he admitted that there are many contacts that he doesn't keep in touch with.

Before revealing her contact count to others, Hyeri showed the number to Seungkwan. The SEVENTEEN member appeared shocked and asked Hyeri if she was the type to cut people off without hesitation. Hyeri then revealed she has 214 contacts on her phone.

Soon after the episode was uploaded, a post titled "Boo Seungkwan who has 802 people in his contact list" was uploaded to the popular South Korean online community forum Instiz.

Korean netizens noted that due to his line of work, it makes sense why he has so many contacts. In his line of work, he needs to keep in touch with producers, editors, composers, and more to ensure that he gets more projects. Many think this is one of the ways he ensures a long-lasting career.

Still, many were surprised at the large number. Others claimed that they only had a couple of contacts, joking that Seungkwan had ten times more people on his phone than them.

Some comments read,

• "Seriously, he is a total inssah. I am such an assah (outsider) that if I deleted my family members, I only have one contact."
• "He is a real inssah... I only have 100 people."
• "I thought 'That's a f*cking lot' but then I checked my phone and saw I had 500 contacts. I need to delete those useless contacts."
• "It's because Seungkwan's job is all about meeting new people. Producers, composers, editors... Seungkwan needs to keep in contact with them if he wants a long-lasting career."
• "Wow, 800... I have 80, so Seungkwan has ten times more than me. Impressive."
