Netizens are feeling nostalgic about 'X-Man' after seeing Lee Hyori's recent photos.
On an online forum, users discussed the latest set of photos taken by Lee Hyori at Kim Jong Min's wedding shared on her personal Instagram. She was joined by her long-time friend and 'national MC' Yoo Jae Suk, whom some netizens jokingly referred to as an "unexpected acquaintance of Kim Jong Min."




However, veteran Korean fans and longtime viewers of classic variety shows pointed out that the connection was anything but surprising. While Kim Jong Min may be more recently associated with variety shows separate from Yoo Jae Suk’s, the two actually formed a close friendship during their time on 'X-Man,' a retro Korean variety program from the early 2000s hosted by Kang Ho Dong and Yoo Jae Suk.

Adding to the fun, Lee Hyori’s post had netizens laughing with an unexpected shot of Yoo Jae Suk, presumably mid-meal, leading some to comment that he looked like he was caught off guard "while eating something sour."
Known for their hilarious 'sibling vibes,' Lee Hyori and Yoo Jae Suk once again demonstrated their close friendship—this time through a candid, unfiltered photo shared by Hyori.
Lee Hyori also posted several beautiful shots of her wedding guest outfit, wearing a gray sweater paired with a long yellow floral skirt, high-heeled pumps, and a luxurious blue purse.



Additional netizen reactions included:
