Comedian Lee Young-ja and actor Hwang Dong-joo are receiving enthusiastic support from fans for their 'hyunkeo'.
Recently, Lee Young-ja and Hwang Dong-joo have been providing a pink romantic thrill on KBS 2TV's entertainment program 'Seeking Old Encounters' (abbreviated as 'Omanchu'). 'Omanchu' is an entertainment show where stars who have known each other as colleagues in the entertainment industry for a long time explore each other's charms through dating and show relationship changes. In this, Hwang Dong-joo and Lee Young-ja are appearing together, showing affection for each other.
The chemistry between Lee Young-ja and Hwang Dong-joo's couple in 'Omanchu' began with Hwang Dong-joo. Hwang Dong-joo had been a long-time fan, having developed feelings for Lee Young-ja even before his debut. As a result, Hwang Dong-joo called Lee Young-ja by her real name 'Lee Yoo-mi' and presented a sunflower-like fan's appearance as he said, "Yoo-mi noona," bringing excitement to the viewers of 'Omanchu.'
Hwang Dong-joo's confession of his fanship towards Lee Young-ja is not the first time. Eight years ago, he appeared as a guest on KBS 2TV's entertainment program 'Hello' and revealed his fanship for Lee Young-ja. 'Hello' is a program where Lee Young-ja has been active as an MC for a long time alongside broadcasters Shin Dong-yeop and Cultwo. At that time on 'Hello', Hwang Dong-joo showed the appearance of a 'true fan' who only looked at Lee Young-ja, causing her to be surprised yet laugh at the situation.
Afterwards, Hwang Dong-joo did not hide his identity as a 'Lee Young-ja fan' while appearing as a guest in numerous entertainment programs, including MBC's 'Radio Star.' This led to successful 1:1 dates and after-dates in 'Omanchu,' allowing Lee Young-ja and Hwang Dong-joo to have time alone together. Consequently, the pure-hearted nature of Hwang Dong-joo captivated the fans of 'Omanchu.'
The romantic chemistry between Lee Young-ja and Hwang Dong-joo is not limited to 'Omanchu.' Lee Young-ja is currently running her own YouTube channel. On 'Lee Young-ja TV,' Hwang Dong-joo is continuously mentioned. In a recent episode of 'Lee Young-ja TV,' as spring approaches, Lee Young-ja made bibimbap with seasonal spring vegetables and said, "Since it's spring, shouldn't I go on a diet? The best diet is love," and added, "I have to watch Dong-joo," bringing excitement to her fans.
In response to the enthusiastic reactions, Lee Young-ja even expressed, "Why does everything become 'Omanchu'? Why does it keep becoming 'Omanchu'?" yet the fans' heat only intensified. Hwang Dong-joo also referenced Lee Young-ja's YouTube channel in 'Omanchu,' confessing his unwavering fanship, as he even keeps an eye on her daily content. The pink glow between Lee Young-ja and Hwang Dong-joo in 'Omanchu' has generated a hotter response from the public than usual dating reality entertainment.
