And Kwanghee shared that he got a lot closer to younger idols through the variety program, Weekly Idol.

I’m on ‘Weekly Idol’ right now. I’ve done many variety programs, and since I used to be an idol, I give them lots of advice.

But he described one instance that makes him feel upset.

When I see members just clapping along because all the interview questions go to the most popular member of the group, I feel bad for them.

So Kwanghee gives the less popular members a harsh scolding.

Once the cameras are off, I tell them, ‘Idol groups don’t go on forever. Are you just going to clap along until it’s over? Look for any opportunity to make a remark. That member is that member, and you are you.’

Regarding Kwanghee’s role with his ‘hoobae’ idols, Ji Seok Jin suggested he was more like Kim Goo Ra than Yoo Jae Suk.

But whatever the case, netizens are praising Kwanghee for looking out for the less popular members of idol groups.

• It’s not easy to meet someone like that.
• Kwanghee is such a great “sunbae.”
• There’s a reason why he’s so successful.
