Olympic Fencer Confesses His Feelings To “The Nation’s Little Sister”

South Korean sabre fencer Oh Sang Uk recently gained attention for mentioning a popular and beloved Korean actress as his ideal type.

Oh Sang Uk is an Olympic fencer who won many gold medals and competed in the Asian Games, Summer Olympics, and more. He is known for his talent in fencing, dashing good looks, and his height of 192 cm.

Recently, he gained attention when he appeared as one of the guests on an episode of KBS2‘s The Return of Superman, which aired on November 14.

Being the only unmarried guest, the others told Oh Sang Uk to consider getting married soon. He responded by saying that his state of being single was not a choice.

It’s not that I don’t want to get married, but I can’t.

Then, Oh Sang Uk was asked what his ideal type was and what kind of woman he wanted to meet, and he responded by sharing what he looks for in a woman’s personality.

I hope she is someone I can respect!

— Oh Sang Uk

The others pestered him to share what his type is appearance-wise, and they made him do an “Ideal Type Olympics” game where he had to choose between two celebrities shown on a tablet. When he had to choose between IU and IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung, he chose IU.

He also chose actress Han So Hee, NewJeans‘ Minji, and aespa‘s Winter.

Then, he was asked to choose between actress Kim Yoo Jung and another celebrity. However, before they even started reading the other name, Oh Sang Uk immediately blurted out, “Kim Yoo Jung!”

I really like Kim Yoo Jung.

— Oh Sang Uk

Alas, by the end of the “Ideal Type Olympics,” Kim Yoo Jung was the winner. When asked if he actually met the actress before, Oh Sang Uk said he hadn’t yet, but he really wanted to meet her.

By the others’ suggestion, Oh Sang Uk even shyly recorded a video message for Kim Yoo Jung, confessing his feelings.

Hello, I’m a fan… And you’re so cool, and if there’s a chance, I’d like to meet you. I’ll always support you. Fighting!

— Oh Sang Uk

Born in 1999, Kim Yoo Jung is a beloved actress who debuted when she was five and became one of the most popular child actresses in Korea. She grew up and continued her fame by appearing in productions such as Moon Embracing the Sun (2012), Golden Rainbow (2013), Love in the Moonlight (2016), 20th Century Girl (2022), and more.
