Two viral TikToks have made the rounds across various social media platforms, sparking a debate on boundaries between friends and making one Korean guy the talk of the internet for his good looks.

In the first viral clip, content creator Kelly Kim shared her experience of ghosting a friend who overstepped boundaries with the guy she was dating—who eventually became her boyfriend. Some of the incidents included borrowing the boyfriend’s hoodie for weeks, telling a mutual friend the boyfriend was cute, and buying him his favorite sandwich for lunch. While the incidents came across as ways to flirt with her boyfriend, or at least capture his attention, the friend in question had a different perspective about their falling out.
which one was ur fav? the sandwich one is mine #girlsgirl #grwm #datingstorytime
Despite the friend not being named, content creator Joanna Lee came out as the person who had been ghosted and shared her side of the story. She addressed several of Kelly’s points and gave context to some of the incidents that were mentioned. Joanna had been the one to introduce Kelly and her boyfriend; she kept the boyfriend’s hoodie for weeks because it was “cute“; the sandwich was thanks for mounting a TV in the apartment Joanna and Kelly shared at the time.
cant believe this is what it is but here it is #girlsgirl #femalefriendships #gaslighting101
The two different perspectives on the situation earned mixed reactions from netizens, especially when they saw the plain black hoodie that caused a stir and heard about the sexy photos she took in it. But everything changed when the internet saw the boyfriend in question.

Although his Instagram is now private, netizens were quick to share photos of the handsome Korean physical therapist Paul (also known by his Korean name Dong Ho). Everything began to make sense to the internet.

Even so, the entire situation has made one thing clear: the handsome physical therapist is already off the market.
