[MyDaily = Reporter Seo Gi-chan] Singers Kang Hye-yeon and So Yu-mi met Tak Jae-hoon's sharp questioning with good humor, and in the process made a memorable impression.

On April 29, the YouTube channel '노빠꾸탁재훈' posted a video chronicling the two singers' transition from idol groups into the trot scene.

After learning that both had debuted three times total, Tak Jae-hoon deadpanned in his trademark jocular tone, \"You two are persistent.\"

So Yu-mi, who previously performed with girl groups VNT and Kiss & Cry, showed off her quick wit while introducing her trot single \"흔들어 주세요\" (\"Shake It\").

When someone remarked that the song title sounded a little suggestive, So Yu-mi defended it, noting, \"People tend to read it a bit sexually.\" Tak Jae-hoon, teasingly persistent, shot back, \"What are you shaking?\"

So Yu-mi fired a playful retort — \"Maybe you have a perverted mind, so you see it that way\" — and the room erupted in laughter. She then steered the moment with a clever line: \"Anything that shakes is fine.\"

Despite the lighthearted tone, So Yu-mi surprised viewers by revealing a personal hurt.

She said a partner she had recently hoped to marry betrayed her. \"I still want to get married. Now that I'm 35, the good men are all gone — I don't think I'll meet one,\" she admitted, sharing a bittersweet reflection.

When asked about their ideal types, So Yu-mi prioritized a solid, well-built physique over looks. Kang Hye-yeon, by contrast, said she does care about a person's face to some degree and specified she prefers someone without double eyelids who doesn't look overly feminine — an answer that drew attention.
