Actor Lee Dong-wook proved his chemistry with Jang Doyoun once again and showed 'the basis of confidence.' Even among fierce competitors like Gong Yoo, Son Suk-ku, and Lee Jun-hyuk, the story of how he steadfastly maintained his position as Jang Doyoun's number one in her heart is being reevaluated.
On the 23rd, in the YouTube entertainment content 'Naraesik', Lee Dong-wook and Park Hoon appeared as guests and had an honest talk with Park Na-rae. In particular, this broadcast captured a surprise phone call with Jang Doyoun, as well as Lee Dong-wook's 'Doyoun obsession,' generating significant buzz.
On that day, Lee Dong-wook expressed empathy while listening to the story of Park Hoon's wife, a theater actress, saying, 'When celebrities meet, life is similar.' When Park Na-rae cautiously asked, 'Is it okay on the celebrity side?' he replied, 'It’s all open. Comedians are fine too. Why be picky?' As Park Na-rae said, 'I feel sorry for Doyoun,' Lee Dong-wook laughed and said, 'Stop talking about Doyoun. She must feel burdened.'
However, the situation took a turn during the subsequent phone connection. Park Na-rae suddenly asked Jang Doyoun, 'Who do you like best among Lee Jun-hyuk, Son Suk-ku, Lee Dong-wook, and Gong Yoo?' After some hesitation and saying, 'Stop it,' Jang Doyoun eventually responded, 'Jang Geum-seok, my father,' bringing laughter. Upon realizing Lee Dong-wook was there, Jang Doyoun cleverly replied, 'Then it’s Lee Dong-wook,' turning the mood around.
Moreover, when Park Na-rae asked, 'Isn't Dong-wook oppa first in Doyoun's heart?' Jang Doyoun honestly replied, 'Honestly, right below my father,' to which Lee Dong-wook joked, 'So he’s almost like my uncle,' causing gales of laughter. Jang Doyoun responded, 'I’ll visit during the holidays,' completing the 'holiday humor ending.'
In fact, this isn't the first time Jang Doyoun has named Lee Dong-wook as her 'number one ideal type.' In a past broadcast, when asked whether she would choose between Gong Yoo and Lee Dong-wook, she bit her lip and politely replied, 'I think I'll go with Lee Dong-wook. Sorry, Suk-ku oppa,' and actually shocked everyone by choosing Lee Dong-wook in the 'Ideal Type World Cup' after defeating Son Suk-ku.
Seemingly aware of this past, Lee Dong-wook revealed a playful confidence during this broadcast when asked, 'Don't you get jealous when associated with other male actors?' He said, 'Not at all. Because Doyoun likes me the most,' but then blushed while saying, 'I imagined it like that.'
Meanwhile, Lee Dong-wook and Jang Doyoun were notable figures in the sweet chemistry showcased during the early days of 'Salon Drip.' At that time, even when Jang Doyoun was the sole host, Lee Dong-wook readily agreed to participate, saying, 'Because it’s Jang Doyoun,' and led the atmosphere with his impressive speaking skills, on par with entertainment shows.
Even amid the 'romantic narratives' with Gong Yoo, Son Suk-ku, and Lee Jun-hyuk, Lee Dong-wook remains the first choice. Whether he occupies the 'uncle (?)' place in Jang Doyoun's heart or not, his presence was undoubtedly significant.
