Entertainer Hong Seok-chun, who is the very first homosexual to come out on air in Korea, revealed that ANTON of K-pop boy group RIIZE called his father, singer Yoon Sang, asking for help before he appearing on “Jewel Box.”
On April 23 episode of Hong Seok-chun's YouTube show “Jewel Box,” the six members of RIIZE made a guest appearance.
As soon as RIIZE stepped into the studio, Hong Seok-chun could not contain his excitement, letting out a loud scream of joy.
He then turned to the boys and shared, “Since the idea of launching this show first crossed my mind, I've envisioned having you guys on it. That's why I'm filled with such excitement right now. Didn't you feel a bit surprised to learn just how much I wanted to be a part of it?”
WONBIN answered, “Well, I personally just found it kind of cool. I thought it would be fun being on the show.”
Following that, Hong Seok-chun began to examine each one of them closely as if he were an appraiser evaluating a jewerly.
Hong Seok-chun began by appraising SUNGCHAN first, praising, “Your eyes are so beautiful. Are you a doll? Your eyes, nose and lips are all beautifully proportioned. Your face also has a slight resemblance to that of a female actress. Very delicate.”
To this, SUNGCHAN replied, “I'm most confident in my eyes. Fans often say I look like a deer.”
Immediately after that, Hong Seok-chun asked, “Would it be okay if I look into your eyes for a moment?” and initiated intense eye contact with SUNGCHAN.
This started SUNGCHAN and also alarmed the members of RIIZE, filling the entire studio with screams.
During ANTON's appraisal session that followed, Hong Seok-chun joked, “I heard you called your dad earlier asking for help.”
This comment brought a shy smile and awkward chuckle to ANTON and laughter from everyone else present.
Observing ANTON's outfit, Hong Seok-chun remarked, “Your style reminds me of your dad. It resembles what your dad used to like back in the day. He was really handsome and a true fashion leader at the time. And if I'm being honest with you, he was my type.”
ANTON's eyes widened at his remark, but Hong Seok-chun just continued anyway; he looked at the camera and said, “Hey, Yoon Sang. You're doing well, right? Don't worry about your son. He's fine with me here.'”
