Jeon So Min expresses “discomfort” towards Super Junior’s Eunhyuk over the history of the nickname “Cow”

On the March 24 broadcast of MBC FM4U “The Midday Song of Hope by Kim Shin Young”, Jeon So Min and Kim Do Yeon appeared as guests and talked about various topics.

During the show, a listener sent a message asking: “Super Junior’s Eunhyuk, loved by DJ Kim Shin Young, was Jeon So Min’s classmate in elementary and middle school. I’m curious if he stood out even back then.”

In response, Jeon So Min recalled, “Eunhyuk really stood out. He was popular even in elementary school and was already active in a dance group within the school. So he was quite different from me.”

He then spoke about the moment they reunited later in life, saying: “I was happy to see him on the station again, but he called me by a nickname that I had completely forgotten.” He added, “Since my name is Jeon So Min, people shorten it to ‘Jeon-so, Jeon-so’ and it eventually turns into ‘Jeot-so (dairy cow)’. I honestly found it very unpleasant,” drawing laughter.

Jeon So Min continued, “He suddenly called me that at the station, so things seemed a little awkward between us,” sharing his embarrassment at that moment.

Their unique school bond had been revealed once before. In November 2017 on SBS “Running Man,” the two reunited as former classmates, attracting attention.

At the time, fellow Super Junior member Yesung revealed: “I heard Jeon So Min liked Eunhyuk during school,” which she denied while admitting, “He was really popular.”

Eunhyuk then added, “It was always like this, exactly the same” remembering their school days. He also explained, “In elementary school, we often created nicknames using names. It started from ‘Jeon So-ddong’ and eventually became ‘Jeot So-ddong (dairy cow dung)'” making everyone laugh.
