On the January 17 broadcast of SBS PowerFM’s “Cultwo Show”, Koyote’s Bbaek Ga took on the role of special DJ, while Brian and Baby VOX’s Lee Hee-jin appeared as a guest on “Don’t Do It!” corner.
During the show, Lee Hee-jin shared that she is especially popular among female fans. He recalled: “I had a lot of female fans. The male fans, however, were rather unusual. Some showed up in taekwondo uniforms or cycling uniforms. I’ve also seen fans bring their bikes, ride them to the event, and then ride home.“
When host Kim Tae-gyun speculated that his boyish charm might have contributed to his popularity among fans, Lee Hee-jin agreed, saying, “I think it’s because my personality is a bit androgynous. It seems like a lot of people like it. I’m easygoing.” He said that Baby VOX members Kim EZ and Kan Mi-youn were more popular among male fans.
Kim Tae-gyun then asked if his large fan base also meant that he had many anti-fans and if there were any memorable incidents involving them.
Lee Hee-jin admitted: “There have been many memorable anti-fans. I went through a lot because of someone who was at the same agency as Brian.” Brian immediately realized this, saying: “I think I know who I am. A team with many members?“
Lee Hee-jin continued by recalling: “They threw eggs at me and one day I came home to find that my gate had been set on fire.” Reflecting on the past, he expressed relief that such fan culture appears to have faded, saying: “I’m so happy this doesn’t happen again.”
Meanwhile, Lee Hee-jin debuted as a member of the girl group Baby VOX in 1997. The group faced numerous threats and attacks from anti-fans throughout their career, particularly following a scandal involving the member Kan Mi-youn and Moon of HOT. Eeyore.
