Awkward photos of producer Brave Brothers and rock band Boohwal's Kim Tae Won have surfaced online.

The photos above appeared on an online community site with the description: "How can anyone be this awkward... Korea's most awkward mentor couple???" In the photos, the two 'Birth of a Great Star 3' mentors can be seen sitting in the same area during a break from filming. What caught the attention of netizens is the fact that they were not interacting at all. Both have been jokingly locking horns since the first episode of the show, which may have contributed to the awkward atmosphere.

Netizens commented, "This just looks extremely awkward", "Hope these two mentors are able to become closer through this show", and "They should have a special episode for the mentors to get to know each other".
