On February 17, a new episode entitled “The Fourth Lunar New Year Holiday Is Just an Excuse EP.98” was uploaded to the YouTube channel DdeunDdeun. The episode featured Yoo Jae Suk, Lee Dong Wook, Nam Chang Hee, and Lee Sang Yi as they gathered to chat during the Lunar New Year holiday.
During the conversation, Yoo Jae Suk turned to Lee Sang Yi, known for his bright and cheerful personality, and commented that he must be popular. However, Lee Sang Yi surprised everyone with his response.
“People say that, but I’ve never received a direct advance from anyone,” Lee Sang Yi admitted. “They say I’m fun and entertaining, but no one ever said they wanted to date me.”
As the atmosphere became slightly solemn, Lee Sang Yi jokingly added, “I will try harder this year” drawing supportive reactions from older cast members.
At that moment, Lee Dong Wook intervened to comfort him, saying: “Men rarely hear things like, ‘Someone wants to date you.'”
But Yoo Jae Suk immediately put the spotlight on Lee Dong Wook, teasing him: “You must have, though.”
Lee Dong Wook firmly denied it. “No. I haven’t, not even in the past.” he insisted.
When Yoo Jae Suk continued to express doubts, Lee Dong Wook doubled down before suddenly making a self-deprecating joke that made everyone laugh.
“Maybe rumors have spread that I have a bad personality?” joke.
Yoo Jae Suk immediately agreed in a playful tone, saying: “He sounds really convincing. Dong Wook is very self-aware. He only speaks facts.”
Lee Dong Wook added another punchline, saying: “Usually people say, ‘I’m not a bad person,’ but I can’t even say that.”
The heartfelt exchange showcased Lee Dong Wook’s signature dry humor and strong chemistry with Yoo Jae Suk. Despite being one of Korea’s most famous actors, Lee Dong Wook proved once again that he’s not afraid to laugh at himself, something fans found both relatable and charming.
The lighthearted moment quickly gained attention online, with viewers praising the actor’s honesty and comedic timing.
