Famous Actor Goes Viral For Not Knowing About A Popular Girl Group
Recently, Girls’ Generation’s Yoona and actor Ahn Bo Hyun appeared on tvN’s Amazing Saturday to promote their upcoming movie, Pretty Crazy.
In particular, a specific moment went viral online, garnering almost 40,000 views. During the scene, ILLIT’s “Magnetic” was playing, but Ahn Bo Hyun had no idea who they were.

Ah Bo Hyun: What? IIBIT?
Yoona: ILLIT!
Ahn Bo Hyun: IILIM?
Yoona: *sings the song*
Ahn Bo Hyun: ???
Considering he didn’t know the group’s popular song, it was even more difficult for him to guess the title of their other songs.

*ILLIT’s “Almond Chocolate” playing* A song that he would never be able to guess correctly.
Although he didn’t know newer groups, he did reveal his bias for Girls’ Generation.

When he revealed that his bias changed from Taeyeon to Yoona, Taeyeon jokingly said, ‘What about me?’
While many criticized him for not knowing the group, many netizens also stood up for him.
- “I thought his reponse was cute and fun.”
- “Am I the only one who thinks this is funny? He’s old, might not know them, and he’s not even a singer. I thought he was just cute.”
- “I feel like he wouldn’t know recent idols because he’s always working on something and is busy.”
- “Just laugh, guys, it’s Monday.”
- “He’s 38, guys…not strange that he doesn’t know them. How would he know? He’s never even bumped into them.”
