She took a seat and waited for the other contestants to arrive. Finally, the next contestant, Choi Hye Seon, entered with her bright and bubbly personality.

The seemingly nonchalant Kim Gyu Ri and the bright Choi Hye Seon sat silently while waiting for the next contestant to enter. During this moment, the two shared an interaction that made some netizens think Kim Gyu Ri was “rude.”
As Choi Hye Seon sat down, she said hello to Kim Gyu Ri and called her pretty. However, instead of saying “thank you,” Kim Gyu Ri simply smiled. Even the show’s panelists noticed this, and Hong Jin Kyung pointed out, “When someone calls you pretty, you normally say, ‘You too,” but she just took the compliment.”

Others stated that the smile was a way of saying “thank you” and that it could have been “evil editing.” Another person pointed out that Choi Hye Seon didn’t say “you’re pretty” directly to Kim Gyu Ri but said “she’s pretty” to herself.

Panelist and singer Kyuhyun pointed out that she probably reacted that way because “she’s probably used to hearing that.”
