Fly to the Sky's Brian Admits Past Interest in S.E.S.'s Bada? Untold Story Behind 'Sea of Love' Revealed

A review article written after watching the broadcast.

On the April 20th broadcast of Channel A's 'Best Friend Foodie Documentary - 4-Person Table', first-generation idol group S.E.S. member Bada appeared and invited her close friends Eugene and Brian.

During the show, Bada brought up Fly to the Sky's hit song 'Sea of Love', teasing Brian about singing it to her. Brian responded, "I thought I was singing the song to Bada," which led Park Kyung-lim to exclaim, "Did you like her? Did you date?"

Eugene, who had been listening quietly, revealed, "They didn't date, but he had an interest in her (Bada)." Brian further explained, "I was particularly close with Bada among the members. One day she took care of me, being a Korean-American, and at some point, I thought, 'She's nice,' and 'We could date.'" He recounted how his future with Bada was ruined when his groupmate Hwanhee asked about his feelings and Brian replied, "It doesn't seem like she's interested in me." He admitted he never even confessed his feelings.

Bada recalled Brian confessing "I like you" in a cool, understated manner on the practice room stairs. She described the moment, saying, "It wasn't a confession, but he gave me courage. He said 'I like you' with a butter-scented pronunciation on the practice room stairs. So cool. It was very casual." She added, "I was confused. Although he said it casually, it echoed in the underground staircase. He felt dreamlike. My heart raced."

Brian playfully questioned Bada, "Why did you show me 'I love you' first? Why did you play with me?" Bada replied, "Because we were best friends."

Korean netizens reacted enthusiastically to the revelation, with comments like 'Brian really liked her back then', 'His confession to Bada is so romantic', and 'Both of them are so cool.' The public showed great interest in their past story.
