Actor Hwang Dong-ju, who appeared on 'Radio Star,' confessed his heartfelt feelings toward 'Yumi-nuna' Lee Young-ja, drawing attention. He revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the 'carotid artery meme,' which became a hot topic after his appearance on 'Old Meeting Pursuit' (hereinafter referred to as 'OMANCHU'), and honestly shared feelings he had not been able to express until now.
The MBC 'Radio Star' airing today (9th), directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang, features a special segment titled 'Soaring Heart Rate Video' with Woo Hee-jin, Hwang Dong-ju, Mimi (Oh My Girl), and Lee Si-an.
Hwang Dong-ju drew attention by revealing that his first connection with Lee Young-ja was through 'Radio Star.' He disclosed that he had previously mentioned Lee Young-ja as his ideal type on 'Radio Star,' and noted that this became a hot topic leading to his appearance on 'OMANCHU.' Furthermore, he expressed, 'It’s a feeling I’ve had since before my debut,' confessing that he has liked Lee Young-ja for about 30 years.
Hwang Dong-ju recalled that the viral 'carotid artery meme' caused an influx of messages from acquaintances, evoking laughter. He shared that during his appearance on 'OMANCHU', he was surprised to see another male participant wearing Lee Young-ja's clothes, which caused his carotid artery to unexpectedly throb, making him the center of attention.
Actor Woo Hee-jin, who appeared on 'OMANCHU' alongside Hwang Dong-ju, testified that 'Dong-ju only has eyes for Sister Young-ja,' filling the studio with a pink atmosphere.
Later, MC Kim Guk-jin directly asked, 'How does Dong-ju feel?' prompting an honest answer that stirred the room. Kim Guk-jin, who married singer Kang Su-ji through a dating variety show, offered reality advice to Hwang Dong-ju, and everyone was fully engaged in Hwang Dong-ju's serious response.
When asked about his current feelings, he expressed fear of being rude to Lee Young-ja, saying, 'I'm grateful just to receive a reply when we text.' Notably, Hwang Dong-ju is set to conclude 'Radio Star' with the song 'Now Just Trust Me.' His song selection and unexpected vocal talent reportedly made the atmosphere quite heart-fluttering.
