The narrative unfurled when she found herself at the center of an intriguing encounter with a notably younger admirer on the bustling streets of Apgujueong in Seoul.
As Sooyoung recounted the incident during the interview, she described how two young men, appearing to be in their early 20s, initially approached her while she was out and about.
Assuming they were fans seeking a photo, Sooyoung warmly prepared to greet them. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when the young man nervously confessed that he had never attempted such a bold move before and then boldly asked for her phone number.
Despite the humorous aspect of the situation, Sooyoung maintained her poise, explaining that she had a boyfriend, the well-known actor Jung Kyung Hyo.
To her surprise, the persistent young man questioned the authenticity of her excuse and probed further into the details of her relationship, asking how long she had been with her boyfriend.
