Could comedian Lee Young-ja and actor Hwang Dong-joo develop into a real couple and declare their romantic relationship? This is currently the top interest of viewers. Having never had rumors of romance, they are sharing fluffy feelings, which viewers are noticing, on "Old Meeting Pursuit." There is much anticipation about whether their relationship will end as a broadcast romance or they will become an official couple.
Lee Young-ja and Hwang Dong-joo are providing pink excitement on KBS 2TV's entertainment program "Old Meeting Pursuit" (hereafter referred to as "Omanchu"). This program showcases long-time entertainment industry colleagues getting to know each other's charm through dating and showcasing relationship changes. Among them, Hwang Dong-joo and Lee Young-ja appear together, expressing mutual affection.
The beginning of the couple Lee Young-ja and Hwang Dong-joo was Hwang Dong-joo. He had been a long-time fan of her, developing feelings for her even before making his debut. Thus, Hwang Dong-joo called Lee Young-ja by her real name, Lee Yoo-mi, saying, "Yoo-mi unni," captivating viewers as a devoted male fan.
Hwang Dong-joo already expressed his fan thoughts about Lee Young-ja on KBS 2TV's entertainment program "Hello" eight years ago. During that broadcast, he showed the appearance of a "true fan" who only looked at Lee Young-ja, and she was surprised yet unsure how to react. Since then, Hwang Dong-joo has appeared as a guest on various entertainment programs, including MBC's "Radio Star," openly declaring himself as a fan of Lee Young-ja. Therefore, the two began to form a connection through "Omanchu."
Lee Young-ja and Hwang Dong-joo are showing signs of becoming a current couple, having successfully arranged their last one-on-one date and after-date. In fact, Lee Young-ja excited fans by saying in her personal YouTube content, "Why does everything become 'Omanchu'?" and "I must watch Dong-joo."
The long-time fan Hwang Dong-joo and Lee Young-ja's meeting, which has drawn attention throughout the show, has materialized in the final selection of "Omanchu." Lee Young-ja expressed, "This person (Hwang Dong-joo) seems like he just fills me up," adding, "People say age is just a number, but from my perspective, I feel like I'm the oldest here, and I feel so sorry about it. I'm really contemplating this. If I were to do this without any conditions..." she expressed her thoughts about her connection with Hwang Dong-joo.
Hwang Dong-joo also mentioned, "I had a firm mind after visiting Nami Island," adding, "I've never felt such happiness regarding becoming an actor or broadcaster thanks to that person. I want to light the candle of fate with Lee Yoo-mi," as he selected Lee Young-ja.
Just as their love seemed to be starting in earnest, they were only exchanging greetings via text, and there was no further progress. Eventually, Kim Sook stepped in, and Lee Young-ja showed her disappointment and jealousy towards Hwang Dong-joo, who had not asked to meet her directly after meeting Kim Sook and Koo Bon-seung. When Hwang Dong-joo answered the phone, Lee Young-ja said, "Then take care. If you have feelings for Sook, you can choose her. You haven't even said to meet me once," expressing her regrets, and Hwang Dong-joo was flustered, saying, "You seemed busy."
Kim Sook told Lee Young-ja, "Were you waiting for Dong-joo to ask you out for a meal? Dong-joo was waiting for you out of consideration for you," and added, "He never said he wanted to meet. I thought that's how things would end. My love life is a disaster. What do I know?" candidly sharing her thoughts. Hwang Dong-joo, being careful not to upset Lee Young-ja, suggested going to eat cold noodles in Pyongyang and made plans.
Following this, a reunion of the two was announced, with Hwang Dong-joo appearing with a large bouquet of flowers for Lee Young-ja. Lee Young-ja, who was greatly pleased, caught attention as she hugged Hwang Dong-joo along with the bouquet. Lee Young-ja also prepared a gift for Hwang Dong-joo, and there was curiosity when she was captured while surprising him with it.
