K-pop star Kim Hee-chul has opened up about his romantic history.

In the 301st episode of KBS Joy's '20th Century Hit Song,' the show features groups known for having members who were considered 'first love material.' The episode is titled 'The First Love Groups We Loved Back Then.'

During the broadcast, the song 'First Love (99)' by O-24 is introduced. Released in 1999 as a follow-up track from their debut album, 'First Love' is a song with a lively yet warm melody and pure lyrics that capture the excitement of first love. The fresh image of the members combined with the song's charm made it a beloved track.

At the time of O-24's activities, music programs introduced them as a group continuing the legacy of fairy-like groups such as S.E.S. and Fin.K.L. Originally a hip-hop group known for their high-level dance performances, they didn't gain much attention until 'First Love' became popular among male students.

Kim Min-ji, mentioned as a 'first love material' member of O-24, started her entertainment career as a model for a confectionery company due to her exceptional visuals from a young age. Before debuting as a singer, she appeared as a child actor in sitcoms. She has since retired from the entertainment industry and now runs a bicycle mechanic shop, still boasting her timeless beauty.

In the studio, cheers erupted whenever footage of the 'first love material' members was shown. Mi-joo even requested the production team not to capture her solo shots after the footage.
