Song Joong Ki replied, “After my debut, I still brought friends over to my house. My mother didn’t really say anything about it, but treated them with great hospitality. I think she enjoyed having guests over.”

K-pop Idols who are Blood Type B and AB

Let's move on to dissect blood type B and AB and see the K-pop stars that fall within the type B and AB category.
People who are blood type B are usually smart, attractive, and honest. Men who carry blood type B are stereotypically known to have a very bad reputation in Korea. Often characterized as being selfish and having a temper, Korean men with this blood type are often known as being players and not being husband material. But ofcourse, women are often attracted to the bad boy type and these "B" boys more than often suck girls in with their playboy ways and attractive image. Though men carry this reputation, women do not. Type B women are known to be creative and passionate, but like any other type, can have their own negative sides. Blood type B women are often caught up in their own world where they are the primary center and can be seen by others as vain. When they are interested in something, nothing else matters. Their attention and passion falls into one basket. On the flip side, they can also get bored very fast.


Big Bang's T.O.P is blood type B. He's definitely got the player look and vibe about him and though we don't know for sure what he's like as a boyfriend, he sure has got an attractive swag about him that makes all the girls weak in the knees. Other notable blood type B artists are SS501's HyunJoong, SHINee's Minho and Taemin, Shinhwa's Eric, B2ST's HyunSeung, SNSD's Sunny, Jessica and Yoona, Brown Eyed Girls's Gain, Teen Top's ChunJi and Changjo.
Those with blood type AB have a mix of both A and B traits in them. They can have multiple and contrasting personality characteristics such as being both introverted and extroverted. They can easily shift from one personality to another and are always feeling or doing one thing and then flipping it and doing the other. They are controlled but aloof, can be overcautious but then also have no filter, they are deep thinkers, tough, meticulous, empathetic, and unforgiving.
Super Junior's Heechul is one of the most beloved type AB blood types. He's known for his careless remarks on television and charming and quirky ways. He's part of a club called the Chocoball Meeting which is a group of celebrities who all hang out because of their common blood type.
Other noted celebrities with blood type AB are 2PM's Taec, Kara's Gyuri, SNSD's Yuri and HyoYeon, After School's Jooyeon and Uee, Wonder Girls' Sohee and Yeeun, T-ara's Jiyeon, and T-Max's Yunhwa.

Suho is upset that Yunho only pays attention to Kai

EXO's Suho is sad that TVXQ's Yunho is spending all his attention on Kai.

On the July 15 episode of 'Beatles Code 2', Suho revealed, "Before we debuted, I once received a harsh scolding by Yunho. One of the members made a mistake, and Yunho sunbaenim said, 'Who's the leader?'. Since he's also the leader of his own team, he gave me a lot of warnings and general advice, and I got really close to him after that."

But sadly their friendship faded away, as he revealed, "After we got close, EXO debuted. But after our debut, Yunho began taking care of Kai a lot. I guess it's because Kai's the main dancer, but I was still sad. He said we would go out to get some food some time, but we haven't yet."
