Yonghwa gives Seohyun a piggyback ride on “We Got Married”

CNBLUE’s Yonghwa gave his ‘wife’ a piggyback ride for the very first time on this week’s “We Got Married.”

Yonghwa and SNSD’s Seohyun have been showing fast progress in their relationship lately, as demonstrated by their brave attempts at skinship.

For this week’s episode, the couple brainstormed together to compose lyrics for their ‘banmal’ (informal) song. Taking a break, the two walked over to the Han River, where they bet on the results of a short basketball game; it was agreed that the loser had to give the winner a piggyback ride. Yonghwa ended up losing the match, and piggybacked Seohyun all the way home.

Feeling self-conscious, Seohyun asked, “Aren’t I heavy?“ Although Yonghwa jokingly complained that she was “really heavy,” he repeatedly asked her to “hold on tight” and never lost his smile.

In a separate interview, Yonghwa stated, “Girls are so coy,” and burst out into laughter as he reminisced over the moment.

Seohyun gave a shy apologetic smile towards the camera and stated, “I’m heavy and my bag was heavy, which created a combined effect.”

Seohyun & Yonghwa work on their ‘banmal song’

SNSD’s Seohyun and CNBLUE’s Jung Yonghwa were one step closer to completing their ‘banmal(informal speech) song’ on this week’s episode of MBC’s “We Got Married.”

Last week, the couple was given the mission to “create a UCC couple song using ‘banmal’ as the motive.”

After briefly talking it over, they agreed that Seohyun would finish up Yonghwa’s lyrics. When Yonghwa sang the guide version for her, she immediately began showing signs of embarrassment at the nonsense lyrics, which only consisted of random words in other languages.

When it came time for Seohyun to sing, she sang in Japanese. Even though her lyrics were “more meaningful” than Yonghwa’s, hers directly translated to, “Nice to meet you, I’m Seohyun.”

Seohyun began expressing her feelings on the difficulty of speaking informally to Yonghwa, which led him to encourage, “Just write your thoughts down exactly as they are. Think about how you felt when I took you home for the first time. How’d you feel?”

She shyly answered, “I thought it was amazing that you took me home. What was your first impression?” Yonghwa replied, “Pretty. Nice. Oh! And outgoing too. Don’t think of this as too hard.”

Through Yonghwa’s inspiration, Seohyun was able to come up with the lyrics: “Phrases such as ‘thank you’ and ‘hello’ are still so difficult for me to say. Thank you, thank you, this is all I can say. It’s the first time for me for everything, I’m still not good at this. How can I say this? I’m not as experienced, but my heart flutters again today.”

Yonghwa immediately expressed his surprise over her lyrics and complimented her as being a“prodigal lyricist that exceeded his expectations.”
