12.08.30 B2ST members insult leader Doojoon on Weekly Idol

On ‘Weekly Idol‘, the members of B2ST took turns with a few insults on leader Doojoon.

Yoseob flustered Doojoon by stating, “If (Doojoon) tries to make us laugh, and we don’t, his fists come up first. Lately Doojoon has been going to acting school and he’s using what he learns on us“.

At this confession, the MCs suggested a game of “You’re right“. The “You’re right” game is where one person says anything they wish and the other has to reply “You’re right”.

The game started with Yoseob, who spilled more of Doojoon’s secrets. “Doojoon, do you remember? Do you remember hitting me earlier for not laughing?“, “Do you remember hitting me in the head with a soccer ball?“, “Do you remember borrowing money from me?” and more causing laughter to fill the studio.

Junhyung followed up and said, “Do you know you’re not funny lately? After ‘Sweet Rain’ it was over for you“.  Kikwang asked, “Our Doojoon, you try so hard at acting but do you know it’s kind of awkward?” shocking Doojoon. However the greatest laughter came from maknae Dongwoon when he said, “You know most people think of Kikwang when you say B2ST?”

With the members burying their leader, more laughter followed throughout the show. And with another episode next week, fans can’t wait for more.
