Fencing star Oh Sang Wook recently shared a hilarious story about how he ended up getting circumcised, all thanks to teammate Kim Jung Hwan.

On the September 4th episode of MBC’s Radio Star, Oh Sang Wook appeared alongside fellow athletes Gu Bon Gil, shooter Kim Ye Ji, archers Kim Woo Jin and Lim Si Hyeon, and boxer Lim Ae Ji, after their impressive performances at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Oh Sang Wook opened up about something that's been following him since his last appearance on the show. “The last time I was here, we talked about a certain surgery that men get. People should be saying, ‘Wow, a gold medalist is so cool,’ but instead, all they think of is circumcision.”

This all started when his teammate, Kim Jung Hwan, previously spilled the beans. Gu Bon Gil chimed in, adding, "Jung Hwan hyung even paid for the procedure." Oh Sang Wook laughed and explained, “It was kind of forced. He invited me for tonkatsu, and that’s when he took me for the surgery!”

Host Kim Gura was shocked and asked, “Is it a tradition for seniors to pay for this kind of thing?” Oh Sang Wook responded, “Most guys have already had it done.”

Gu Bon Gil then joked, “When our Avengers team would go to the sauna, we’d say, ‘For good teamwork, we should all be the same,’ which is probably why he convinced me to do it,” making everyone laugh on set.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
