Kim Heechul's Crush Shines on 'Twenty Century Hit Song'

On December 27, KBS Joy's 'Twenty Century Hit Song' aired a special year-end episode titled 'Come Back, Would You? Hopeful Comeback Idol Hit Songs,' featuring guests Kim I-ji and Lee Hee-jin from the group Baby V.O.X. As the two guests appeared, Kim Heechul's eyes widened and his face turned red, clearly showing his excitement, especially as a devoted fan of Kim I-ji. While shaking hands with Lee Hee-jin, he couldn't help but steal glances at Kim I-ji. She remarked, 'I knew because people around me told me,' while Heechul, too shy to look directly at her, kept his gaze fixed ahead. His ears turned bright red, eliciting laughter from the audience.

Baby V.O.X recently performed as a full group at the '2024 Gayo Daechukje Global Festival.' Kim I-ji expressed her desire to share the stage with fifth-generation idols, which led to their complete reunion for the performance. Throughout this interaction, Heechul struggled to maintain eye contact with Kim I-ji, prompting Lee Hee-jin to suggest switching their seats. Heechul, flustered, humorously responded, 'If that happens, I really can't do the show,' bringing more laughter to the set.
