47-year-old actor Gong Yoo was flustered by a proposal from someone who is just 20 years old.
On July 12th, the tvN program Goblin 10th Anniversary Trip aired a scene where Gong Yoo, Kim Go Eun, Lee Dong Wook, and Yoo In Na read and reacted to fans’ stories.
During the segment, one fan confessed that from middle school to high school, they had binge-watched Goblin over 40 times. “It’s a little funny, but when I was in middle school, I thought that by my senior year of high school, a handsome goblin uncle who looks like Gong Yoo would appear holding a bouquet of buckwheat flowers. But the reality of my senior year was just…”
The fan, now a college freshman, added, “My life’s drama is still ‘Goblin.’ I want to say to oppa Gong Yoo, ‘Ahjussi, I love you. I will marry you.’”
Gong Yoo responded, “Wow, tell her to come,” but added, “Wait, isn’t she like my daughter?” looking embarrassed.
Listening, Yoo In Na said, “But oppa, since you’re already 949 years old, does it really matter?” Gong Yoo replied, “Age is just a number, but my future is still bright. I’m sorry. I think this kind of distance is better.”
Yoo In Na shot back, “She probably just said that, right? Would she be serious?” and Kim Go Eun joked, “Wait, the goblin bride is still alive. That can’t happen.”
