A love triangle emerges between TRAX’s Jungmo, CNBlue’s Yonghwa, and SNSD’s Seohyun?

Are TRAX’s Jungmo and CNBlue’s Jung Yonghwa engaged in a head-to-head battle over the heart of SNSD’s Seohyun?

Jungmo appeared as a guest on the June 1st airing of MBC TV’s “Radio Star” and said, “Seohyun is closest to my ideal.”

With that comment, Yonghwa fired with jealousy since SNSD’s Seohyun was his wife as a fake married couple on MBC’s “We Got Married“. He showed his jealousy by recalling his memories of when Seohyun learned guitar from Jungmo, her senior in the same company, during “We Got Married”.
