Actor Hwang Dong-joo released a sweet video message saying, "Let's be together for life."
On the 6th, the YouTube channel "Heung Brothers" featured Hwang Dong-joo, who has rapidly risen from a daily drama prince to a variety show star, touted as "the hottest man of 2025." The Heung Brothers, consisting of 1982-born Park Gu-yun, Jung Geun-woo, and Du Ban-jang (Kim Du-won), expressed their frustration, saying, "We should reflect on ourselves" regarding Hwang Dong-joo's remarkable youthfulness. Then, an MZ power test for 'visual MZ' Hwang Dong-joo was conducted. Hwang Dong-joo showed a weak side, saying he was "not aware at all" of the latest slang, including "Trmin-nam," "Jeome-chu," "Gamda-sal," and "Gamda-dwi," drawing laughter.
Hwang Dong-joo revealed his secrets to his youthful appearance, such as a skincare routine and exercise he has maintained since his 20s. He was also diligent about inner beauty, taking various supplements, and explained, "From my mid-40s, the difference in my condition on days I take supplements and days I don't is very noticeable." However, he noted, "I recently had a health checkup, and they told me I was taking too many supplements, which was straining my liver. These days, I am dividing them up into smaller doses." It was revealed that Hwang Dong-joo had lived as a swimmer for an astonishing 8 years, from 3rd grade in elementary school to 2nd grade in high school. In response, former national baseball player Jung Geun-woo rearranged his seat, saying, "You are a senior from the sports team," and posed with a serious demeanor.
Hwang Dong-joo, who debuted 30 years ago, credited his longevity to his "dedication." He also shared a story about almost being cut early in his career due to his poor acting. Hwang Dong-joo recounted being told by the director of the drama at that time, "I should have cut you long ago; the reason I keep you is because you are the first to arrive in the morning and have never been late." He added, "That became a habit, and I now have about 13 to 14 clocks in my house."
The famous "dessert enthusiast" Hwang Dong-joo sent a video message expressing his affection for the world's first (?) cake. He said, "Thank you for always giving me sweetness and happiness by my side. Let's be together for life," leaving a sweet video message before bursting into laughter with a look of sheer realism. Meanwhile, Hwang Dong-joo, who recently experienced a resurgence in his career with the creation of his first fan club since his debut, expressed his gratitude to fans, saying, "I gain strength from their support when I feel exhausted or overwhelmed."
Meanwhile, Hwang Dong-joo is also known as the "official romantic interest" of Lee Yong-ja, who is supported by the entire nation.
