[NEWS]Minho Finishes Last and Gets Punished at "100 Points Out Of 100 Points"

For the first time since his debut, SHINee’s Minho finally got a taste of what last place feels like.

On this week’s episode of KBS 2TV’s ‘100 Points Out Of 100‘, Minho was betrayed by his supporter for the Class President Election, F.T Island’s Hong Ki, and was placed last in the votes and subsequently received cleaning duty.

As a result, Minho had to arrive on set earlier than the rest of the cast and took on on all the miscellaneous duties around the school as a punishment.

Minho expressed, “I was shocked since this is the first time I’ve experienced something like this. I was okay on the day of the filming, but from the next day onwards, I had a hard time because I couldn’t stop thinking about getting last place.”

Park Myung Soo replied and “advised” Minho, “You just need to keep being last from now on.”

Sage advice, indeed.

[NEWS / VIDEO]F.T. Island’s Hongki Takes Revenge Against Minho

F.T. Island’s Lee Hongki took revenge against SHINee’s Minho on the December 11th episode ofKBS 2TV’s “100 Points out of 100.”

The singer showed varying sides of himself on the show and fooled around with Minho during a pause in the recording session. After playing a prank on Minho, who was changing into his phys ed uniform, the two soon began play fighting until Hongki was accidentally pushed against the wall. Hongki froze with a chilly expression, leading Minho to try and apologize.

Hilariously, Hongki then farted into his own hand and delivered it to Minho in an act of revenge. Hongki eventually succeeded in ‘feeding’ the fart to Minho, causing him and Simon D, who was observing the entire scene, to run far, far away from Hongki.
