Right after, he asks bluntly, “Is there a secret to having double twins?” Park Hyun-ho, the ‘April groom-to-be’, who was listening to the conversation between the two in the studio, immediately clasps his hands together and takes a praying pose when the story of the ‘Secret of Double Twins’ comes up, making everyone laugh.

With everyone‘s attention focused on him, Lee Dong-gook starts off by saying, “It’s partly because I‘m lucky, though”, and then reveals his own secret.
