Yet, another man low-key stole the show without even speaking…

…and that’s John Na, a bodyguard for Eo Heung (Oh Jung Se). He sparked lots of fan edits despite his small and supporting character.

He’s portrayed by Alex Landi, an American actor of Korean and Italian descent. While Mr. Plankton was his first K-Drama role, he’s no stranger to the screen. He’s known for Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19, and Insatiable. He previously went viral for appearing in Doja Cat and SZA‘s “Kiss Me More” MV.

The 32-year-old certainly gained even more fans with his portrayal of John, becoming many’s new celebrity crush. Yet, recently, he revealed he might already be taken!

He uploaded a “cozy” poolside photo, seemingly soft-launching a girlfriend. The first photo featured his foot next to a woman tanning on her stomach. The second showcases them lying side-by-side with only their legs in view and no faces; the mystery woman’s identity is not revealed.

Still, it was enough to devastate the hearts of his fans, realizing he was likely off the market already. Some netizens joked in the comment section of his post that Alex Landi “was tired of seeing us thirsting over him and said, ‘I’ve got someone already.’”
