"I've never been in a relationship, nor have I ever confessed. I think I like being closer rather than confessing, and I become more like a fangirl than developing my feelings with the opposite sex," she said with a cheerful answer.
Just then, Park Ji Hoo mentioned her love for idol group EXO.
When asked what they mean to her, Park Ji Hoo answered, "EXO is like a family now. But I'm the only one who feels very close to the members," she said, drawing laughter.
She added, "They will always be part of my life," attesting she doesn't need romantic love as being an EXO-L is enough.
In fact, this is not the first time that the actress showed she's an EXO-L.
In 2019, she was spotted in an EXO concert and even shared the venue on her Instagram.
In her Harper's Bazaar interview in 2020, Park Ji Hoo proved that she's just like one of the ordinary fans who stream songs of their idol, mentioning that she's listening to EXO-SC's releases, particularly "1 Billion Views."
On February 14, EXO fans also noticed Park Ji Hoo "liked" Suho's letter to fans following military discharge on Feb. 13.
