Actor’s Comments On Men And Women’s Friendships Spark Mixed Reactions

Actor Jung Woo Jae recently started a discussion with his comments about friendships between men and women.

When the question arose, “Can a man and woman be friends?” He proposed a unique way of looking at the question.

Wait! You have to be able to shower together.

— Jung Woo Jae

He insisted that in order to be real friends, you have to be able to shower together.

If we’re real friends, we should shower together!

— Jung Woo Jae

In saying this, he shows his belief that men and women can’t have platonic friendships.

You have to have no romantic feelings for that person to be considered a platonic female friend.

— Jung Woo Jae

Netizens left hundreds of comments on the post, all sharing their different opinions on the matter. Many agreed with his statement, while others found fault with it as they can’t even shower with their friends of the same gender.

• “I don’t even shower with same-sex friends.”
• “Totally agree, lol.”
• “He’s been on Love Intervention (연참) for so long, he’s seen every kind of story, so maybe that’s why, lol.”
• “Crazy.”
• “So funny, lol.”
