BABYMONSTER Becomes “Variety Monsters”+Ahyeon Revealed She Is Female Kim Jong-kook

On the latest episode of JTBC’s variety show “Knowing Bros,” which aired on April 13th, BABYMONSTER appeared as a guest. This is also their first variety show appearance since its debut. In this episode, the group’s members went on a spring camping trip with the ”Knowing Bros” cast.

“I didn’t expect it to be this successful,” Rora said of the enthusiastic love the group received for its debut song. Regarding why they came to the show, Ruka revealed, “We love you so much. In particular, Ho-dong is so cute,” adding that Kang Ho-dong looks like a Japanese god.

BABYMONSTER also showed off its unique talent. Chikita from Thailand loved Taekwondo so much that she even acquired a black belt. On the show, she showed that she could smash the pine boards taller than her height with a kick. Member Ahyeon revealed she was nicknamed “female Kim Jong-kook,” saying, “I always did 800 ab exercises a day. But I cut back because fans were worried.” She also surprised everyone for showing a demonstration of her abdominal muscles.

Ruka, who was introduced as “in charge of variety,” made the sound of a small dog on the spot. As soon as Heechul’s dog heard the sound, he ran to Ruka, which surprised the set.

Witnessing the group’s talent, Super Junior’s Shin-dong told BABYMONSTER members, “I’ll see you five years later. I think you should be on Coachella next year.” In addition, Ahyeon performed pop star Charlie Puth’s popular song “Dangerously” live once again, receiving standing ovations from the members of “Knowing Bros.” Another member, Rami, sang AKMU’s “DINOSAUR”. Everyone was amazed by her soft voice even in high notes.
