Just how close are these two members of F.T. Island? Apparently, Lee Hongki hasn’t heard of the saying, “Too close for comfort”!

Fear not, however! Lee Hongki didn’t actually plunge his finger into the depths of Minhwan’s nose (Or at least, not on camera), as much as it might seem like it. Hongki decided to amuse his fans by uploading two humorous selcas of him and his fellow bandmate via Twitter. Along with the photos was the caption of, “I am picking Minari’s (referring to Choi Min Hwan) nose! One picture is a fail but the other one I made a second later is a success!”

The effort Hongki made to get the right angle in order to look like he’s exploring Minhwan’s nostril caves is clearly visible - which isn’t an easy feat to do. Many netizens left the comments of, “That is so cute. Try to pose with a more fun facial expression next time” “Is Min Hwan oppa sleeping there?” and “That is something he would not expect even in his dreams.”

I wonder what Minhwan will have to say about this when he wakes up!
