[Sportschosun Kim So-hee] Singer Lee Hyori sent warm regards to the latest update from a participant she met through the Netflix variety show "Jae-seok's B&B Rules!".
Recently, Jo Nam-jun, a cast member of "Jae-seok's B&B Rules!", shared a video of his life update on his Social Network Service (SNS) along with the message, "Long time no see (feat. Jae-seok's B&B Rules!)."
At the time of the broadcast, Jo Nam-jun moved many viewers to tears when he calmly opened up about losing his first love. His sincere confession left a deep impression, and he appeared in front of the camera again after a long time with a bright smile.
In the released video, Jo Nam-jun greeted viewers by saying, "Long time no see," and his older brother, Jo Nam-sun, asked, "How many months has it been?" Jo Nam-jun replied, "Eight months."
His brother said, "It has already been eight months," and added, "You left a lot of comments for us on YouTube and Instagram. There were so many kind messages, and we were truly grateful."
Jo Nam-jun, however, honestly admitted, "There were a lot of negative comments too," and mentioned the malicious remarks that poured in after the broadcast. His brother then said, "People were saying a lot about your chin. Some even said you shaved it down," prompting Jo Nam-jun to laugh and reply in disbelief, "Why would I shave my chin?"
Even so, the brothers did not forget to express their gratitude for the messages of support. His brother said, "Still, there were so many really kind words," and Jo Nam-jun also said sincerely, "They gave me strength."
His brother also recalled, "Going to 'Jae-seok's B&B Rules!' was so much fun." Jo Nam-jun then playfully exposed him by saying, "You were the one who just kept crying," showing off their cheerful sibling chemistry. His brother added, "I still don't know why I cried so much. Let's work hard again."
Once the video was released, participants from "Jae-seok's B&B Rules!" and viewers expressed their delight. Comments such as "You seem even brighter now," "The brothers' bond is so nice to see," and "We support you" followed.
Lee Hyori's comment drew particular attention. She left a short but heartfelt message, saying, "You’re doing well, right? Keep living well," showing her unchanged care and affection.
Fans were touched by Lee Hyori's warm gesture of checking on a participant's life update even eight months after filming ended. They responded with comments such as "That's so Lee Hyori," "That short message is really moving," and "You can feel her sincerity," adding to the heartwarming atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyori appeared on Netflix's "Jae-seok's B&B Rules!" as a one-day part-time worker alongside her husband Lee Sang-soon, where she had candid conversations with the participants. She received praise for listening closely to the stories of the non-celebrity cast members and offering warm empathy and comfort.
Among them, Jo Nam-jun's story left the strongest impression on many viewers. He calmly spoke about the pain of losing his wife last year, and Lee Hyori listened to him until the end without offering any hasty comfort or pity.
Later, Lee Hyori quietly told Jo Nam-jun, "You truly had a perfect love. From your first love all the way to the end." Her sincere words, rather than any flashy expression, became a deep source of comfort and remained in the hearts of many viewers long after the broadcast.
