Heechul and Lee Mi-joo Spark Romance Rumors on 'Knowing Bros'

Heechul and Lee Mi-joo created a buzz with their chemistry.

On the October 6th episode of JTBC's 'Knowing Bros', guests Kim Ho-young, Lee Seok-hoon, Heo Young-ji, and Lee Mi-joo made appearances.

During the show, Heechul and Lee Mi-joo's playful interactions heated up the studio. When Seo Jang-hoon asked, "What do you think of Heechul?", Lee Mi-joo hesitated before saying, "I really like him. He's a great host and takes good care of everyone," causing a stir. Heechul looked on with hopeful eyes, while Lee Sang-min added, "The more you think about it, the stranger it gets."

Heechul then boldly asked, "There have been many articles about us on '20th Century Hit Song'. What does your mom say when she watches the show?" Lee Mi-joo laughed, "I think there will be more articles," and candidly shared, "My mom said she likes Heechul." The unexpected response turned the studio upside down, prompting Heechul to bow deeply to the camera, with Lee Mi-joo joining in with a shy bow. Kang Ho-dong joked, "Haven't you two talked a lot before this?" while Seo Jang-hoon quipped, "Throw some dates their way."

Lee Mi-joo explained, "With all the articles, my mom asked if there was something going on. I told her no, and she said, 'Heechul is nice.'" Lee Soo-geun humorously suggested, "Didn't you say that yourself, not your mom?" sparking more laughter.

Meanwhile, Lee Mi-joo is actively engaging with fans through her personal channel 'Just Lee Mi-joo'. She announced, "In just a month and a half, I've surpassed 50,000 subscribers," and revealed that Heo Young-ji will be joining as a guest, following Haha and Park Jin-joo.

She also surprised everyone by confessing, "I've had dreams where a grim reaper and ancestors appeared." She shared that after an ancestor appeared in her dream saying, "I'll protect you," she hasn't had any more dreams. Lee Soo-geun jokingly remarked, "It might be the early stages of receiving a spiritual calling," wrapping up the conversation.

Heechul and Lee Mi-joo are co-hosting KBS Joy's '20th Century Hit Song'. Despite their 9-year age difference, their unique chemistry is captivating viewers both on and off the screen.

On another note, Lee Mi-joo confirmed her relationship with soccer player Song Bum-keun, who is three years her junior, in April last year, but announced their breakup after nine months. When rumors surfaced about her dating Hanwha Eagles baseball player Lee Jin-young, also three years younger, she immediately denied them, stating, "The dating rumors are unfounded. We don't even know each other."
