Actor Son Ho-jun has revealed his past grievances towards his close friend, singer U-Know Yunho, sparking interest among fans.

In a preview clip released on SBS's YouTube channel for the variety show 'My Annoyingly Sensitive Manager-Secretary Jin,' Son Ho-jun appeared as a guest and shared stories about Yunho.

Son recalled a past shopping trip with Yunho, explaining that while he found his shoes in just 5 minutes, Yunho spent 6 to 8 hours shopping for clothes. Although Yunho eventually bought an outfit from the first store they visited, Son hinted at his exhaustion from the prolonged wait.

He further disclosed that while Yunho is incredibly kind, he can be oblivious. Son highlighted the significant 'Birthday Seaweed Soup Incident.' Son had personally cooked seaweed soup and organized a birthday party for Yunho. Despite Yunho shedding tears while eating the soup, Son expressed deep disappointment over the subsequent lack of contact from him.

Yunho attempted to clarify that the tears were of emotion, not because he had forgotten the birthday, but Son emphasized that the absence of a call was a major issue for him. He added that although he usually initiates contact, this time he waited for Yunho to reach out first.

Following the video's release, netizens commented, 'As expected from celebrity best friends,' 'I'd feel hurt too if my friend didn't contact me after I celebrated their birthday,' and 'Their chemistry is amazing.' Many sent supportive messages for their friendship.
