SHINee's Minho recently shared amusing stories from his trainee days with Super Junior's Donghae, captivating fans with their nostalgic anecdotes.
In a video titled "[EN] My Little Brother Minho Tripping Over Me" on Donghae's YouTube channel, Minho reminisced about entering SM Entertainment in the middle of his school years, facing opposition from his parents. He noted, "When I first joined the company, I was shorter than Donghae, but after two years, I grew taller than him. Donghae jokingly hit me and asked, 'Why did you grow?'"
Donghae humorously remarked on his envy, to which Eunhyuk added that Minho's sudden growth was indeed surprising. The trio also reflected on their shared living experiences, with Eunhyuk recalling how they all stayed together due to a lack of housing arrangements. Donghae mentioned how Minho's mother disliked him staying out late, leading Donghae to call her and ask for permission to have Minho over.
This playful exchange highlighted the strong bond between the members, with Minho revealing his mother’s mixed feelings towards her son's rising popularity. "She liked all entertainers but was not fond of the fact that my friends debuted," he explained, eliciting laughter among the group. Minho added that while he enjoyed the fame, his mom was less enthusiastic about it.
This heartwarming moment between these K-pop idols not only showcases their friendship but also offers a glimpse into their beginnings in the industry.
