Actor Lee Jong Suk has stolen hearts online after his cheeky interaction with a fan went viral throughout Korean forums. The posting, initially published on theqoo, quickly racked up almost 50,000 views for the actor's clever and cute reply.
As reported by Koreaboo, the post went viral after a fan wanted to know if Lee Jong Suk had seen the new Netflix drama series Genie, Make A Wish, which features his close colleagues Kim Woo Bin and Suzy.
A fan posted a screenshot on theqoo with the message, "Jong Suk, did you watch the new drama with Woo Bin oppa and Suzy unni?"
Lee Jong Suk then jokingly replied, "Why am I Jong Suk, but Woo Bin and Suzy are Oppa and Unni? I'm the same age!"
The fan answered, "Because we're friends? which Lee Jong Suk replied with, "Ok ok!"—a brief answer that made fans giggle.
As the source further noted, Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin are both born in 1989, while Suzy was born in 1994, making his remark even more relatable. Fans also commented that his teasing tone expressed the close and cozy relationship he has with his fans.
The theqoo post also included a photo where Lee showed his support for ''Genie, Make A Wish,'' in which he had sent coffee trucks to the location of the filming for Kim Woo Bin and Suzy. Fans loved his gesture and called him a "loyal friend" and "the sweetest colleague."
Lee Jong Suk initially met Kim Woo Bin while filming "School 2013", a hit coming-of-age drama that cemented the two actors' status. He later collaborated with Suzy in "While You Were Sleeping," whose on-screen chemistry people couldn't help but notice.
Korean netizens welcomed the actor's recent fan engagement as charming and humorous. One of them commented, "It's a given to call your ult bias by their name LOL." Another commented, "Why is he just Jong Suk!" while others chimed in, "So cute," and "He's mad LOL."

The playful exchange has since become the most widely discussed post on theqoo, with fans referring to it as "proof that Lee Jong Suk's charm never fades."
