The two ladies had been guests on the show a few years ago, and Dara finally spoke up about the experience on the June 25 installment of 'Incarnation'. She said, "I filmed 'Family Outing' with Uee, and I was really hurt back then." The MCs said, "I heard you said you'd never film with Uee ever again."
She quickly corrected them and stated, "It's not that. It's just that I filmed 'Family Outing' with Uee, but all the focus was solely on Uee, so I was hurt. Usually, I'm shy, but I went on the show by myself anyways. The label told me it would be okay since Daesung was there too. But when I went, I just wanted to go home. All the men were only focused on Uee. So basically, I just got completely edited out."
She added, "Uee also did a sexy dance for everyone, but I brought along a hot dog outfit. I'm also scared of dogs, and there were big dogs at the filming location."
Sangchu, Se7en, and other celebrity soldiershave been recorded going to massage parlors while still on duty.
Before the controversial episode of SBS' 'On-Site 21' aired, a reporter of the show tweeted angrily, "The reality of the celebrity recruits. They're saying that they're worried that reporters would write articles after getting angry that they were hit while investigating.. Sigh. I wonder if he knew that this was an exclusive and that he was being used... If he didn't, he's an idiot, and if he did, he's evil. Wow. I want to just reveal his real name and what he said."
He added, "We happened to find celebrity recruits going to massage parlors. That's why there were physical impacts, as well. For details, watch SBS' at 9PM. It's not my article, so I can't say the real name... How regretful. Sigh."
During the actual broadcast, the reporters followed the four celebrity recruits includingRain and KCM after they performed at an event and went to their motel. At around 10 PM, the recruits came out, and they were filmed eating barbecued chicken as well as beer and soju. They then left again at 11:30 PM and came back to the motel in plain civilian clothing with cell phones at 2AM, and two of them were spotted (Se7en and Sangchu) going to a massage parlor nearby.
The pair came out half an hour later, and when the reporters approached them for an interview, they snatched the mic away and twisted their arms. Undeterred, the reporter asked, "You were just at a massage parlor. It's currently 4AM, and you came to perform as a soldier. You were just at a massage parlor. Can you comment on this?". The two tried to snatch and destroy the camera, but when that failed, they said, "We did not commit a crime. We didn't do anything illegal."
The reporter asked, "Do you usually drink and go to massage parlors while you perform?", and they said, "We didn't drink alcohol at all. We should talk later", even though they were filmed drinking beer and soju. The pair then left back to the motel in a taxi.
The reporter entered the massage parlor and noted that the parlor did not let anyone under 19 inside. The reporter asked the manager and the manager revealed, "They asked things like, 'When can we get serviced?', and I told them 'Not right now'. I refunded them 170,000 KRW (approximately $147 USD)." The manager added, "No one comes to get just a massage. They come for what you're thinking."
The show then talked to the National Defense Media Agency, pointing out that they were handling the celebrity recruits badly, and they responded, "They have an event the day after, as well, so the PD was supposed to take care of their dorms", but when pointed out that the PD didn't manage them either, said, "Sorry."
On the massage parlor visit, they said, "He has a bad back and a bad knee, so he went to get it treated." But when asked, "How about the other one who went without needing treatment?", they had no answer.

How many fans get to brag that they performed with Girls’ Generation?
On June 24, SM Entertainment released a video of Girls’ Generation performing its latest Japanese single “Love&Girls” at Universal Studios Japan. The vast majority of fans are female and they patiently wait in the rain for the members to arrive on stage.
Girls’ Generation happily performs in the rain to great cheer and, later on, the fans turn away from the stage and becomes part of the performance. It is an awesome display of artists and fans uniting as one. Cookie Monster and Elmo also decides to join in on the fun and break it down with the girls on stage.
Once the special performance is done, the video shows a montage of clips of female fans truly living out the name of “girls generation” and “girls power.”
EXO gave a lot of fans nosebleeds with the first half of the interview when they confessed they had to shower together in smaller groups. They also shared about their popularity, the choreography for “Wolf” and the advantages of promoting as a group.
- Since there’s a lot of members, there must be a lot of fun
D.O.: “We place a lot of bets with each other. We basically place bets as part of our lifestyle. When we commute via car, we decide who sits where by rock, paper and scissor. It’s because no one really wants the back and middle seats.”
D.O.: “We have quite the fun ordering snacks. Since we have a lot of members, if we order chicken, we would order five and would have to order a large pizza in order to feel full.”
- Do the Chinese members have any difficulty with living in Korea?
Kris: “It was hard learning Korean etiquette. In China, there’s no formal speak so it was difficult to get used to. We also had to bow to our seniors. In China, we don’t look down when we bow. In Korea, you’ll have to bow even if your eyes meet.”
- You lived as idols for a year. How was it?
Suho: “There’s no freedom. But, we’re able to receive love from a lot of people so I think it’s something we can put up with. There’s also pressure about being role models after we became public figures. We’re living an exemplary life compared to our peers.”
Baekhyun: “It’s a very good feeling to be someone others look up to. We all achieved our dreams of becoming singers, but I learned the truth that there’s nothing that’s easy in this world.”
- Have your hearts fluttered at seeing Girls’ Generation in person?
Baekhyun: “Of course our hearts would flutter. We’re practically fans. Our hearts flutter when we see them on stage and when we see them outside.”
Chanyeol: “I liked them since I was a trainee. I especially liked their song ‘Oh’ and when I heard them sing the song recently at one of their concerts, I screamed my lungs out too. Because I yelled so crazily loud, other fans in the audience looked at me like they’re thinking, ‘What the heck.’ Haha.”
- You guys achieved the coveted goal of the rookie awards. What’s your next goal?
Suho: “I want us to hold a solo concert. We’re the best in Korea when it comes to teamwork. I hope that we would stick together like glue. It would be great if we would love each other, be considerate of each other and that we would all stay healthy.”
