Kdrama Crushes: Joo Won
"Good Doctor" star Joo Won has had his share of crushes, including a much-publicized crush on a co-star who refused to date fellow celebrities. So, it's nice that recently two stars expressed an interest in getting to know him.
Kara member Seungyeon, who recently appeared in the drama "Jang Ok Jung," was asked which celebrity she would consider dating and without a moment's hesitation, she replied "Actor Joo Won."
She was really moved by his portrayal of Park Shi On in "Good Doctor."
"No matter how busy I am, I stay up late to catch all of his episodes," she said. "I feel he is such a warm and sincere person that watching him is a healing experience."
She even went as far as to record a video message for Joo Won, saying she would like to meet him.
"It would be nice if I could come see you somewhere," she said. "We should have tea sometime."
There's no word as to whether he has taken her up on that offer.
It's not the first time a Kara member has expressed interest in Joo Won. Kara member Gyuri once chose him as her ideal type over Lee Jong Suk, because she liked men who were "more masculine."
But he's also had some interest from another girl group member. On a recent episode of "1 Night, 2 Days," he confessed to liking the band A Pink.
"I have all of A Pink's songs on my phone," said Joo Won
He likes the group because their songs encouraged him.
"It makes me feel good when I listen to them because there's a lot of lyrics telling you to cheer up," said Joo.
On a later episode each member of the show's cast got lunches personally packed by A Pink members. A Pink member Chorong prepared Joo Won's lunch. It contained a note that said, "I hope we can become closer."
His fellow cast members teased him asking if the note was a proposal.
It's nice to see women expressing an interest in him. Joo Won has not had a whole lot of luck dating his co-stars. In "Ojakgyo Brothers," he became interested in UEE and sensed a mutual attraction, but nothing came of it.
"If only one of us had made up our minds and made a dash toward the other, we could have been a real-life couple," he said.
He expressed an interest publicly in his "Level 7 Civil Servant" co-star Choi Kang Hee, but when she was asked about it, she said she never dated actors.
When asked about his ideal type, he once said that he likes girls that are polite. So, women who have a crush on Joo Won, take note. If he does not respond to your invitation to tea, ask again and this time, say please.
