Review: This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.
With renewed dating rumors surrounding 'fencing emperor' Oh Sang-uk and Japanese top model Haruka Todoya, attention was drawn when he appeared flustered after being asked about "international marriage" on the show.
On the March 3 broadcast of SBS variety show "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 – You Are My Destiny", fencing gold medalist Oh Sang-uk appeared as a grants MC. Oh Sang-uk said, "I have three Olympic gold medals, but there is still one gold medal I want to win," adding, "I want to get married and be a family-oriented husband. I want to win a gold medal as a groom," which turned the studio pink.
MC Jo Woo-jong jokingly asked, "Are you perhaps thinking about an international marriage?" and Oh Sang-uk gave a slight cough and a subtle smile at the sudden question. The cast burst into laughter, teasing, "There is something going on."
On that day, regarding his ideal type, Oh Sang-uk said, "I like a family-oriented woman who stays away from nightlife," adding, "It would be good if she is not hot-tempered and doesn't like clubs. Also, since I'm tall, I hope the partner is tall too." When Kim Gu-ra asked, "Don't you care about looks?" he replied honestly, "At first you can't help but notice."
When this remark was made public, online attention resurfaced about the dating rumors with Haruka Todoya. The two followed each other on social media and exchanged likes, and it became known that they left comments such as "yours is mine, mine is mine too" and "beautiful," drawing fans' interest. The rumors gained more credibility when Haruka Todoya frequently visited Korea and posted a video visiting Daejeon, Oh Sang-uk's hometown.
Earlier on MBC's Hangout With Yoo, Oh Sang-uk spoke directly about so-called "lovestagram" suspicions. When Lee Mi-joo asked, "Did you date in college, and what is your ideal type?" Oh Sang-uk made a strange expression and held back. Then Joo Woo-jae bluntly asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?" and Oh Sang-uk only smiled.
Lee Yi-kyung stepped in and defended him, saying, "There was an article, but he didn't explain. He doesn't have a girlfriend, no girlfriend!" and Oh Sang-uk awkwardly laughed and asked, "Is there a reason to explain?" When Joo Woo-jae asked, "So you're single?" Lee Yi-kyung replied firmly, "Single, just single!"
Meanwhile, about his dating style, Oh Sang-uk confessed candidly, "I'm stubborn so I can't stand being wrong. For example, if I cooked every day and my partner only remembers their own efforts, I get upset," adding, "At that time I start counting the number of times," which made people laugh. Hearing this, Kim Gu-ra joked, "Seeing this, it doesn't look like marriage will be easy for Oh Sang-uk."
World No. 1 fencer Oh Sang-uk, who dreams of a "marriage gold medal." Who his true ideal type is remains veiled, but his subtle reaction to the "international dating rumors" has only increased fans' curiosity.
