BoA shows interest in joining ‘We Got Married’

2012-08-27T08:56:00.000-07:00

Singer BoA showed her interest in joining MBC‘s ‘We Got Married‘.

On the August 25th episode of ‘We Got Married’, the staff members visited waiting rooms of music shows and concerts to cast a new couple for the show.

BoA seemed a bit interested in being cast as she shyly stated, “I can do everything required for the

show.”

She also claimed that she meets all the requirements, which include being single, never cheating on his or her partner, being okay with not wearing shoe insoles to increase height, and being able to show his or her candid and truthful self to the public.

Regarding the requirement of being fine with not wearing shoe insoles, BoA hesitated on agreeing, but then brought laughter by reluctantly saying, “Well… I guess I have no choice but to not wear it.” The reason why those appearing on the show are asked whether they are okay without height-boosting insoles is because the filming requires many indoor scenes in newlywed houses (shoes aren’t worn inside the home in Korea).

In related news, Super Junior‘s Ryeowook claimed that if he were to get ‘married’ for the show, he’d want his partner to be a member from A Pink, while Sungmin mentioned that he’d want to be partnered up with Girls’ Generation‘s Sunny, and SHINee’s Key picked BoA.
