Seonjae Monk had previously mentioned this relationship in a 2017 MBC broadcast, stating: “ My nephew is a singer, but I don’t really know many singers. My nephew is Lee Chang-sub of BTOB.”

Fans also pointed out the noticeable resemblance between the two.

Meanwhile, Lee Chang-sub is currently touring with his Encore Concert, having met fans in Incheon, Daejeon, and Gwangju, with upcoming shows in Daegu, Busan, and Suwon.

The show “Culinary Class Wars 2” features intense culinary battles between underdog “black chef” masters aiming to overturn the hierarchy with taste, and top celebrity “white chefs” defending their status. As of now, three episodes have been released.
