BTOB's Sungjae got VIXX's N crying... in an intense starting contest. The two tested the limits of their ability to keep their eyes open for a prolong period of time on the February 9 airing of MBC's 'Idol Star Athletics Championship.' 

From the get-go, it looked like Sungjae would be the clear winner; meanwhile, N was struggling, his eyes tearing up from the effort of keeping them wide open.

When told to say something that might make the opponent blink, the two idols suddenly started speaking in the Joseon Dynasty vernacular. Sungjae said, "I'm innocent," to which N replied, "I'm saddened." When N showed no signs of blinking, Sungjae suddenly confessed, "I've admired you since I was young." That did the trick, as the tears that N was holding back came spilling down, as the idol burst into laughter.
