On February 17, a new episode titled “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 have been popular. However, Lee Sang Yi surprised everyone with his response.
“People say that, but I’ve never really received a direct advance from anyone,” Lee Sang Yi admitted. “They say I’m funny and fun, but no one has ever said they wanted to date me.”
As the atmosphere grew slightly solemn, Lee Sang Yi added jokingly, “I’ll try harder this year,” drawing supportive reactions from the older cast members.
At that moment, Lee Dong Wook stepped in to comfort him, saying, “Men rarely hear things like, ‘Someone wants to date you.’”
But Yoo Jae Suk quickly turned the spotlight onto Lee Dong Wook, teasing, “You must have, though.”
Lee Dong Wook firmly denied it. “No. I didn’t, even in the past,” he insisted.
When Yoo Jae Suk continued to express doubt, Lee Dong Wook doubled down before suddenly making a self-deprecating joke that sent everyone into laughter.
“Maybe rumors spread that I have a bad personality?” he quipped.
Yoo Jae Suk immediately agreed in a playful tone, saying, “That actually sounds 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 candid exchange showcased Lee Dong Wook’s signature dry humor and strong chemistry with Yoo Jae Suk. Despite being one of Korea’s most well-known actors, Lee Dong Wook proved once again that he is not afraid to laugh at himself—something fans found both relatable and charming.
The lighthearted moment quickly drew attention online, with viewers praising the actor’s honesty and comedic timing.
