An actor’s son on a dating reality show is already going viral, and it’s all thanks to his visuals. On the latest episode of My Child’s Romance 2, a dating reality that brings together kids of Korean celebrities, a surprise contestant entered the house during the cast’s first meeting. His appearance immediately shifted the atmosphere, with both contestants and parents visibly stunned by his tall frame and striking visuals.
As he walked into the house, panelists even wondered if he was a model. Once his face was revealed, reactions quickly poured in — with one star parent, Choi Jae Won, commenting that he looked like BTS’s Jin.
The comparison instantly caught viewers’ attention, as his clean features, sharp proportions, and soft visuals reminded many of the global superstar.
His entrance also caused noticeable tension among the contestants. Some female cast members quickly fixed their hair, while others openly expressed admiration for his height, styling, and overall presence.
One contestant shared that he was “so obviously handsome” that her immediate reaction was shock, while another noted that he seemed like someone who would be very popular in the house. Meanwhile, the male contestants admitted they felt intimidated by his height and presence, joking that standing next to him made them look smaller.
Curiosity grew when the newcomer brought a bouquet, later revealed to be a first-impression gift meant for the person who stood out to him the most.
The contestant was eventually revealed to be Yoo Hee Dong, the second son of veteran actor Yoo Tae Woong, known for his roles in numerous K-dramas including Rustic Period and Military Prosecutor Doberman.
Born in 2006, Yoo Hee Dong stands at an impressive 197 cm (6’6”) and is currently a pitcher on Korea University’s baseball team. With his height, visuals, and celebrity background, viewers are already predicting he could become one of the show’s standout stars.
