Singer TVXQ's Yoo No-yoon-ho spoke about "idol dating."

On the 25th episode of JTBC's 'Knowing Bros,' K-pop leaders TVXQ's Yoo No-yoon-ho, BTOB's Seo Eun-kwang, Oh My Girl's Hyojung, and Boy Next Door's Myung Jae-hyun appeared as guests.

When asked about the contract clauses for second-generation idols, Yoo No-yoon-ho stated, "Starting from the second generation, phones were confiscated. It was meant to ensure proper practice."

He added, "There were also clauses prohibiting dating. While each idol managed it themselves, if caught secretly dating once, their phones would be confiscated. We belonged to the 16th-ringtone generation."

When the topic of dating bans arose, Yoo No-yoon-ho said, "We could still meet somehow." Lee Su-geun then chimed in, "They even had children during wartime."

When asked about dating, Myung Jae-hyun replied, "I have around 2 million girlfriends. That's the fandom name 'One'." Yoo No-yoon-ho responded, "I have 'Cassiopeia'."

Seo Eun-kwang said, "I think I'm third-generation? Or maybe 2.5th generation? I had a phone, but they only told me not to bring it to the broadcasting station. It wasn't a contract clause; just an agreement."

Hyojung stated, "In our time, phones were completely banned. We couldn't activate phones for three years and could only use email. All communication was via email." Myung Jae-hyun added, "They tell us to handle it well on our own. We don't bring phones to the broadcasting station."
