Park Myung Soo had a fair share of awkward first encounters with celebrities - in his case, it was with BTS.

In a recent episode for his self-titled radio show under KBS Cool FM, the "Happy Together" host recalled the first time he met the award-winning supergroup. The singer-songwriter turned comedian, who is also a self-confessed BTS fan, mentioned that he once ditched the group's request to take a photo with him.

At the time, the seven-member group was still a rookie, and it was long before they were internationally recognized as worldwide superstars.

In a report, Park Myung Soo shared his embarrassing encounter with BTS way back in 2014. At the time, J-Hope was a huge fan of his top-rated comic variety program "Infinite Challenge" where he served as the co-host.

Interestingly, the group happened to bump into him in the Gimpo Airport bathroom and was so thrilled to ask for a photo.

"BTS saw me, and they all said, 'Wow, it's a celebrity!" The comedian recalled, adding, "In the past, seven celebrities greeted [me] as, "We are BTS," in the washroom, and they asked if they could get a pic with me."

Instead of gladly saying yes and granting the rookies' request, he ditched the group and told them, "Ya, just go."

Furthermore, the "Daddy You, Daughter Me" actor revealed that he still regrets it up to this day.

However, he mentioned that he and the group did take a photo but was disappointed that he wasn't able to ask for their number.

"I should have asked them for their phone numbers then; I regret it now. But we took a picture together, and it turned out well," he narrated

Aside from the comedian, his daughter is a diehard fan of the award-winning group.

In a previous episode of TV Chosun's "Wife's Taste," the 50-year-old TV personality shared that his daughter, Min Seo, is a true blue ARMY and is looking forward to marrying a BTS member someday.

The comedian threw her support for the 12-year-old and shared his funny reaction towards his daughter's statement.

"I told her, 'I really want you to marry BTS, too. If you do, you'll turn my life around completely. I hope that becomes a reality," he recalled.

It's no surprise that Park Min Seo's dream is to become a wife of a BTS member in the future as the group gained massive popularity not just in Korea but around the world.

The seven-member group recently appeared at the 2021 Grammy Awards after being nominated for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category.
