Koyote discussed rumors about Shinji bullying girl groups on JTBC's 'Knowing Brothers'.

On the February 23rd episode, the trio featured as guests and discussed rumors about girl group members being afraid of Shinji. She explained, "It's a lie that I'm the tyrant of the group. The one who makes the decisions is Kim Jong Min. These days he does what he wants a lot."

Heechul then commented, "Baek Ji Young, Chae Ri Na, Yoori, and Shinji. If you don't greet these four female singers, you'll be scolded. Seeing Shinji in person today though, she's really nice." Shinji replied, "The rumors are all because of Kim Jong Min. Kim Jong Min would go on broadcasts and slip up, so he'd always be bested by girls. Whenever that happened, he'd tell them, 'I'm going to tell Shinji on you.' That's how the rumors got big."

Bbaek Ga said, "I wondered if it was real, so I joked around to a female hoobae, saying, 'You didn't greet Shinji, so she's making plans right now.' The hoobae started sobbing uncontrollably."
