SEVENTEEN’s Seungkwan & ITZY’s Ryujin: Secret Hardcore Fans of Ear-Cleaning and Pimple-Popping Videos? Perfect Matches in Taste

Seungkwan of the group SEVENTEEN and Ryujin of ITZY are drawing huge attention after opening up about their unique YouTube streaming preferences during a recent show.
In a recent episode of the popular web entertainment show Seungkwan’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo (Ep. 14) on the YouTube channel 117, ITZY’s Ryujin appeared as a guest, showcasing raw, unscripted chemistry with Seungkwan as expected of longtime friends of six years.
During the video, the two brought the house down after discovering an unexpected common interest mid-conversation. Seungkwan initiated by asking, "Do you like watching ear-cleaning or pimple-popping videos?" to which Ryujin intensely related, responding, "I watch so many of those!"
Seungkwan turned to the production staff and asked, "Does anyone here watch (earwax removal videos)?" but was met with complete silence. In response, Seungkwan jokingly defended themselves, saying, "Please don't look at us like we are gross. There's definitely a niche fanbase out there."
Ryujin went on to specifically mention her favorite channel hosted by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor. She even delivered a witty imitation of the doctor's tone, drawing big laughs.
Viewers and producers alike burst into laughter over the incredibly relatable, humanizing glimpse into the "YouTube algorithm" of these global top idols who usually dominate the stage with flawless, glamorous images.
Fans who watched the clip showed enthusiastic reactions, commenting, "I love watching earwax removal videos, too!" and "It's hilarious that their tastes align perfectly on this."
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN and ITZY, the respective groups to which Seungkwan and Ryujin belong, continue to maintain robust promotions in the global music market, receiving immense love from fans worldwide.
