When the hosts joked that she must be exaggerating, she persisted that she was telling the truth. She even had a witness who saw this happen: actor Ryu Jun Yeol.

I was staring at Hanni as if I was in a trance, when Ryu Jun Yeol who was next to me said, ‘Hey, she’s looking at you.’ It was to that point; she really stared right at me for five seconds! I thought my heart was going to stop beating.

Jo Se Ho asked if she had confirmed this with Hanni, and Ahn Eun Jin re-emphasized that Ryu Jun Yeol was the witness who could verify the facts.

Yoo Jae Suk also poked fun at her, saying Hanni could have been looking at the two people sitting next to her. However, Ahn Eun Jin was confident that it was her.

But… I’m pretty sure it was me.

She explained further that her seats were very close to the stage, making it clear to see who Hanni was looking at. Also, she moved her hands around excitedly during the performance, making her more noticeable to Hanni.
