A reporter asked if BoA ever developed feelings for Key, who appeared on the show with her, and asked, "Did Key ever seem like a man to you while filming the reality show together?"

With laughter, BoA answered,"He's 5 years younger than me", and continued, "I was very surprised by him, though. He was more manly and had greater leadership than I thought. I saw a lot of his manly side that at times I found myself depending on him. Recently, I was talking to Kibum (Key's legal name) and I told him, 'I don't have a brother but I feel like I have gained one'."

BoA also added, "The filming for the reality show has ended but I still talk to Kibum often like real noona-dongsaeng. Kibum is an only child so we both feel like we have gained a good noona and good dongsaeng."
