“Seriously so cute TTT… (repeated 14 times)”
He said he first gained interest in Korea because the characters of Hangul were so beautiful and later he naturally became more interested in the culture as well.
He seems to know quite a lot about the culture and even K-pop, mentioning soju, BIGBANG and Sunmi’s “Gashina” as just a few of the things he knows.
He was finally able to visit the country he loved so much through the program Seoulmate.
Seoulmate is a Korean tv program which invites foreigners to the homes of celebrity hosts, who become responsible for introducing them to Korea.
His celebrity host in the program was none other than Shinhwa‘s Andy, who is a fluent English speaker.
Fans are anticipating the chemistry they’ll be showing in the upcoming episode as Andy takes them out for traditional Korean dining and much more.
Check out the full teaser below. The episode will air on March 24.
