There is this famous girl who once followed me around in Elementary School. Should I tell her about you?

Although, at first, many viewers might have dismissed the YouTuber’s comment as a joke, it turns out that he was telling the truth. In fact, in 1999, Director Ddochi appeared on an episode of Love On The Air as Lee Na Young’s first love.
Netizens reacted to the revelation, with many stating that being Lee Na Young’s first love was the ultimate flex.
“That’s such a flex. He should write that on his tombstone, LOL.” “Wow, if that was me, I would have bragged about it as soon as she became popular, LOL.” “And he has receipts, LOL. But he does like someone’s first love.” “His jaw area is kind of similar to Won Bin!” “She must have liked him a lot if Lee Na Young looked for him as an adult.” “Wow, but I think he kind of looks similar to Won Bin.” “Daebak, LOL.” “Oh my god!”
Meanwhile, Lee Na Young is undoubtedly one of Korea’s biggest stars. The actress has starred in hit dramas such as Romance Is A Bonus Book and the K-Drama classic Ruler Of Your Own World. Lee Na Young married Won Bin and gave birth to the couple’s son in 2015.
