Kim Jaejoong’s Attempts At Flirting Were Just A Bit TOO Obvious For One Female Idol
Well… he tried.
Kim Jaejoong, the iconic ex-TVXQ and JYJ star, is now captivating fans on YouTube with his hit show JaeFriends. During a recent episode, he welcomed MAMAMOO’s Moonbyul—a self-proclaimed TVXQ superfan—and things took a hilariously awkward turn.
Noticing clues hinting at a female guest, Jaejoong eagerly guessed her identity. When Moonbyul appeared, their banter about age began instantly. He reminisced, “You were in elementary school when I debuted,” but reassured her with, “You’re still pretty,” when she joked about aging.
Then came the show’s rule: guests must share their number. Moonbyul’s skeptical “What do you do with it?” sparked laughter, with Jaejoong clarifying it was purely for friendship.
Later, drinks flowed, and Jaejoong saw an opening. Moonbyul asked his alcohol limit; he flirted, “Enough to take you home.” Unshaken, she shot back, “I can get home alone.” Jaejoong laughed, admitting defeat: “Friend zone!”
Fans roared at the exchange, praising Moonbyul’s unflappable coolness while confessing they’d have folded under his charm.
