The show also delved deeper into her Thai background. At one point, Jaejoong asked about her living situation and was shocked to find out she was from a rich family.

Though Minnie tried to downplay her financial situation, the senior idol saw right through her after the staff showed clips of her vlog at home in Thailand.

Jaejoong: You have a house in Thailand, right?

Minnie: No, I live with my mom and dad.

Jaejoong: It’s just your parent’s house? What is this? You’re really rich.

Jaejoong grew increasingly shocked with each scene, remarking that she lives in an “amazing” house.

Minnie: No [I’m not rich]. The house is really old.

Jaejoong: The Blue House is old and the White House is old, too. But they are amazing places.

You have a gym in your house!
