First-Gen Co-Ed Idol Reveals Shocking In-Flight Encounter: “She Asked for a Kiss, I Ran Away in Fear”
On the June 25 broadcast of KBS Cool FM’s Park Myung-soo’s Radio Show, the “Candid Talk” segment featured special guests former Koyote’s member Bbaek Ga and model Lee Hyun-yi. While the episode initially focused on romantic first encounters and fate, it quickly took a surprising turn with a jaw-dropping anecdote from Bbaek Ga.
In response to a discussion on unexpected encounters, Bbaek Ga shared an incident from a past flight that stunned both the host and listeners.
Bbaek Ga recounted, “This is a true story. It happened when I was traveling with the members. I was heading to the restroom on the plane when a flight attendant called me over and said, ‘I’m such a huge fan. No one’s watching right now, could you give me a kiss?’” His revelation stunned everyone. He continued, “It’s true. I was so shocked that I ran away. I was scared and told Jong-min hyung, ‘That flight attendant asked me to kiss her. I’m freaked out. I can’t go to the restroom.’” Bbaek Ga emphasized the authenticity of the story, saying, “Thankfully, the members were there. If I told this story without them, no one would believe me, but the members know it happened.”
Host Park Myung-soo responded with his trademark humor, saying, “If Bbaek Ga made this up, he’s a Han Kang novelist.” Lee Hyun-yi laughed, “Why do things like this only ever happen to Bbaek Ga?”
The episode also turned emotional as the cast discussed Shinji’s recent engagement announcement and her plans to marry in 2026. Park Myeong-su teased, “Jong-min is already married, and Shinji is tying the knot soon. That leaves you, Bbaek Ga—everyone’s watching now.”
Feeling the pressure, Bbaek Ga responded, “People around me keep asking, ‘What about you?’ It’d be nice if we all got married around the same time,” though he trailed off, seemingly flustered. He confirmed that he and the other members had already met Shinji’s fiancé and praised his character, “He was there with us at my mother’s funeral, staying by our side. That meant a lot.”
Koyote, formed in 1998, is one of South Korea’s longest-running groups, known for dance-pop hits like Pure Love and Disco King. The group, consisting of Kim Jong-min, Shinji, and Bbaek Ga, has maintained relevance through consistent releases and media appearances
The segment showcased not only Bbaek Ga’s humorous storytelling but also the close-knit bond between the Koyote members and their evolving personal journeys.
