Yet, it seems like Soobin has met his match… and it’s none other than actor and Music Bank MC Lee Chae Min.

On October 27, netizens couldn’t hide their excitement as Soobin returned to Music Bank as an MC alongside Chae Min because MC LE SSERAFIM‘s Eunchae was unable to host.

Although their chemistry was electric, netizens couldn’t get over the fact that, for once, Soobin was the smaller MC. Although there isn’t a huge difference in height, only a few centimeters, fans thought that Soobin looked “small” next to the actor.

In particular, fans loved how both Soobin and OH MY GIRL‘s Arin (Akong) look up to Chae Min because he is so tall.

Even though Soobin seemed small compared to Chae Min, both stars were giants when interviewing the artists performing, including Sunmi and members of SEVENTEEN.
While Soobin is still tall AF, Chae Min’s height is definitely hard to match and there would only be a few idols who could match or exceed his proportions.
