Shinhwa’s Kim Dong Wan just revealed a blast from the past—his awkward blind date with none other than Lee Hyori!

On the February 4 episode of SBS’s "Dolsing Fourmen," Kim Dong Wan shared an unexpected story about his high school days, leaving everyone surprised!

He opened up about a blind date with Lee Hyori, saying, "When I was in high school at Whimoon High, I was in a band, and Lee Hyori was already famous for being pretty at Seomun Girls' High School." He explained, "A friend from another school said she was into music too, and thought we’d get along, so he set it up."

But things didn’t go as planned. Kim Dong Wan revealed, "We didn’t really click."

This led to a funny moment when Tak Jae-hoon joked, "You didn’t like each other, but still kept your pride." The comment had everyone laughing out loud.

Kim Dong Wan shared more details, saying, "At the time, I wore white pants because of the band, and Lee Hyori wore hip-hop pants. I wasn’t a fan of hip-hop style and preferred the Gangbuk style, so I just couldn’t appreciate her fashion."

Later, Lee Sang-min asked, "How did you both end up in Fin.K.L and Shinhwa? Did you recognize each other right away?" Kim Dong Wan replied, "Of course, I knew."

Tak Jae Hoon couldn’t resist teasing him and asked, "Did you talk about the blind date?" Kim Dong Wan replied, "No, we just said, 'Long time no see, hi,' and that was it."

He added, "Fin.K.L became super popular right away, but Shinhwa wasn’t there yet, so it was a bit awkward. By the time we did our second album, we became closer."

But Tak Jae Hoon wasn’t done and joked, "You’re just embarrassed because you got rejected!" The entire room burst into laughter, and it seems like the awkward date has become a hilarious memory for everyone involved.
