“Lovely Runner” Actor Song Geon Hee Goes Viral For Fanboying Over NewJeans’ Hanni
Actor Song Geon Hee has been getting the spotlight lately for his role as Kim Tae Sung in Lovely Runner. Although he fails to get the girl in the end, he did wind up becoming the hero who chases down the evil murderer.
Amidst his newfound fame, Song Geon Hee’s past blog posts have been going viral. A particular entry dated February 2023 gained attention for its mention of a popular girl group member.
In the post, he shared various photos of his daily life and school days.
He surprised everyone with a sudden declaration of his admiration for NewJeans’ Hanni.
“Form Hanni’s Pham is crazy (Pun on her name). I became a fan belatedly… I love NewJeans… Pham Hanni… This Uncle supports you so much…”
— Song Geon Hee
He also hilariously referred to himself as “samchon,” or “uncle,” even though they are not many years apart. He was born in 1997, while Hanni was born in 2004, making them only 7 years apart!
Fans found him absolutely adorable.
